Ice Cream World in Walnutport. They make all of their ice cream and italian ice with their own recipes. The employees there even brainstorm new ideas for new flavors like: MilkyWay, apple pie a la mode, pumpkin pie, white chocolate raspberry (my favorite)... They have a total of 57 ice cream flavors that are out and ready to be served at a time and 12 italian ice flavors that are also out and ready to be served.



They make their own ice cream cakes on the premises, pre-made sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, pre-packed tubs of ice cream (pint, quart, or gallon), and you can get the ice cream cakes with any ice cream that they have in the case (one or two flavors in one).

All the ice creams they have, they can turn into milk shakes. DELICIOUS!

This place has been in business for over 30 years.

Here's a list of most of their homemade ice cream flavors:
Bailey’s Irish Cream
Banana
Banana Fudge
Banana Split
Black Raspberry
Blueberry Cheesecake
Bubble Gum

The best ice cream I ever tasted was from my very own backyard.
We would crank the ice cream maker until our arms fell off, but the taste is just divine. My favorite would be to add fresh strawberries near the end to the basic vanilla flavor. Yum.

I really miss this. We did this every summer. Now hand-cranked ice cream machines cost over $100, and my parents sold theirs. The great pic you posted shows how handcranking really brings a family together. Family members would wait on the one cranking to get tired (because it's hard!) and would do things like play word cames, tell serial stories, and sing songs to pass the time. It was one of the most fun things to do in the summer!

When I was growing up, it was Ivanhoe's. A place with over 100 different each of shakes and sundaes (and more added all the time), it started out as a typical walk up ice cream counter in the late 50's. By the time I was a kid, it had expanded twice to have an original interior filled with the lovely quilts collected by the owner's wife, and a full menu that included everything from hand-cut fries and hand-formed hamburgers, to every new food trend, from "health food" shakes in the 80's with egg and wheat germ, to fruit salads, to buffalo wings.

It's still around today, having expanded a third time and now under the management of the owner's son, who started out working there as a teen in the 80's. Lines were out the door in the old days, and they still are. It's amazing in a town of around 2,500. It's partly the university, but people make road trips from Indianapolis, an hour away. I know of more than one time that people who went to college in one of the surrounding towns flew into Indy, had an afternoon free between flights, and drove to Ivanhoe's. And there are various clubs in Indy that will schedule field trips there.

Here are just a few of the shakes. There's a little overlap with the sundaes, but they're not the same:

It's a terrific place!

In Indy, it has to be Gelato Da Vinci (as far as a non-chain goes). So many unique flavors! I really love their Rose Petal gelato, and Straciatella (kind of like chocolate chip).

They have one main location, and are served in several upscale places around town, including at the Symphony.

Fredericksburg, Virginia - About halfway between Richmond, VA and Washington, DC

Since 1947, it's been Carl's Frozen Custard (aka “Carl’s Ice Cream”, “Carl’s Electro-Freeze” or just “Carl’s”).

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3254/2654609342_601404cc63.jpg

Excerpts from SimplyFredericksburg.com...

Located at 2200 Princess Anne Street just off Jefferson Davis Highway (US Route 1) in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Carl’s is open 7 days a week from mid February to Mid November.

Carl’s popularity can be traced back some 50 years to 1947. Carl’s has become so popular, that some travelers passing through Fredericksburg on the Interstate 95 will stop by just for some Ice Cream. Regulars to Carl's include residents from Stafford, Spotsylvania, Orange and Caroline counties.

Carl’s serves 3 tasty flavors of frozen custard, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. The custard is made in 120 gallon batches from a rare 1940 era Electo-Freeze Ice Cream machines. You can see the actual brightly polished chrome machines churning out ice custard when you visit.

Another unique feature for Carl’s Ice Cream is that the Ice Cream does not come out of the machines swirled, twirled or twisted. The frozen custard slowly exits the Electro-Freeze machines down a chute in a flat rectangular shape (about four inches wide and one inch thick), into the freezer where your ice cream is scooped from.

Kimball farms. If you're traveling up route 495 north through Massachusetts this summer, get off at exit 31, and turn right. Go to the first set of traffic lights, with a Mobil station on your left, and turn left. Kimball's is about a mile down on the right.

They've been in business since 1939, and have opened satelitte locations in Carlisle MA, Jaffrey NH, and Saco ME. The video I've included gives you an idea of the size of the portions--the cone the women in the intro is holding is a Kimball's small. If you go, order a kiddie portion unless you're planning on eating the ice cream for a meal.
