Ice cream parlours: so many pleasures to discover

- CONTRIBUTE­D editor@southshore­breaker.ca

Traditiona­l-style or soft serve, plain or dipped, ice cream is without a doubt the queen of summer treats. But ice cream parlours offer a wide variety of delicious treats, meaning that you can have an almost infinite number of new experience­s. This summer, be sure to answer the call of novelty every once in a while by trying a new kind of frozen delight.

Have you already set your sights on gelato? This artisanal ice cream has a light texture and contains less fat and air than traditiona­l ice cream. Creamy to perfection and served slightly less cold than regular ice cream, gelato is available in many different mouth-watering flavours.

Do you have fondness for fruit? Let yourself be seduced by a delicious sorbet or a frozen yogurt in whatever flavour you prefer. If you’re vegan or have food intoleranc­es, there are products for you too. Sorbets contain no eggs or dairy, so virtually anyone and everyone can enjoy this tasty, frozen treat.

Do you need a little refreshmen­t? Why not have a drink? Milkshakes, slushies and floats will delight your tastebuds. If you’re set on simply having ice cream, you can try new flavours, dips or cones. You could also have one of the many desserts that feature ice cream as a component: sundaes, parfaits, banana splits, brownies, waffles and shortcake, to name just a few.

Let yourself be tempted by the world of flavours and textures available during your next trip to the ice cream parlour.
