Chocolates and Creams


Here we begin the ice cream queen's research on her home turf, in the city of Toronto. There are more ice cream parlours in this city than I remember there being two years ago, but that said, I think there's still room for a few more. (Plus, they don't do delivery.)

Chocolates and Creams at Harbourfront, on the lake, has been around for ages -- I remember it from when I was little. It advertises itself as the city's best ice cream, and it's probably not far off from saying it. The ice cream is rich, delicious, inexpensive, and there are a ton of flavours. Plus, they also have chocolates and jelly beans.

The mint chocolate chip that I tried was bright green and creamy, and the chocolate chunks were substantial. The serving was generous -- they had to fill that massive waffle cone. Overall, an excellent scoop. A lot of other people must have thought so too because there was a long lineup of people waiting to order.

Jacob ate something chocolate. I think it had nuts in it. I wasn't in a chocolate mood so I didn't try it, but he said it was really good.
