It's no secret that ice cream may be my one true love. But one secret may be that most ice cream shops aren't really making their own ice cream. Nay, often it's from Hershey's or some other bulk provider. So when there's an ice cream shop that makes their OWN ice cream. I'm there.



The Little Ice Cream Shoppe in Hilliard, Ohio, does just that. 



And, they have a bajillion flavors. You can check out all of the ones they cycle through on the blackboard wall. And then the current selections are in the cold case. 



As is always my challenge with ice cream - do I go fruity? Or chocolatey? I love both. But it just depends on my mood. 



Because it was a warm day, I went for a fruity choice. I ordered two scoops: one of a watermelon sorbet and one of cherry ice cream. Are you shocked it isn't salted caramel? Sometimes I switch it up.



And, I'm glad I did. This was so refreshing and flavorful. And not flavorful in the artificial, "essense of" way. But in the real watermelon-real fruit kind of way. 



While we were there, they were whipping up a mint ice cream that filled the entire shop with the scent. 



Have you been?
