1. I am not an ice cream lover.
2. I am lactose intolerant, so much so that it can take me down if I have too much. Yeah, it's that bad.
3. French is one of my top 2 favorite cuisines.
So when I noticed that this wasn't just any ice cream shop but French-Style ice cream I had to see what it was all about. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your body for something yummy. Lol. So what makes it French-Style? Weckerly uses a custard base, which includes egg yolks, resulting in a richer, smoother, and creamier texture.
Right off the bat 5 Stars for having some of the most unique flavors. What intrigued me was that some of them were a mix of sweet and savory. If you can't decide just ask for a tiny spoon sample taste.
Here is an example of their seasonal menu on this hot August day...
- Buttermilk Pepper Jelly
- Lavender Goat Cheese
- Coconut Mango Cashew
- Corn Toffee Chewy Cookie
If these flavors don't excite you then I don't know what does.
But what caught my eye were their homemade ice cream sandwiches. I let my son choose and he picked their seasonal Blueberry Dream. The top and bottom layers is made with chocolate cookies. Then one thick slab of cookies & cream and blueberry ice cream. The middle has a blueberry jam stripe.
As I kept taking bites the thought of possibly having a tummy-ache escapes my mind. You can tastes that it's homemade. Best ice cream sandwich ever!! Omg, so so good.
I did share it with my son so I was okay. I look forward to coming back when I am in the area.
