I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream! Honestly who doesn’t scream for Ice Cream? In my opinion, Ice Cream is the food of the Gods. Yes it’s that good! And with the heat that’s slowly coming upon us, what better way to refresh and cool down then by having a great scoop of Ice Cream? Whether it’s sorbet, gelato, your classic Ice Cream cones or what we call in Quebec “Crème Glacée Molle”, we all have our favorites. So when Summer comes rolling down, you can bet that all our favorite Ice Cream shops open their doors wide and expect to draw a huge crowd!
