(Burlington, VT) Lake Champlain Chocolates' (LCC) All Natural Ice Cream & Sorbet is now available in pre-packed pints. Introduced in 2003, LCC's ice cream & sorbet is made in small batches using the same pure, all-natural, ultra-premium ingredients used in their award-winning chocolates. "Come in and compare," challenges Jim Lampman, LCC’s founder and president. "Even the most sophisticated palate is sure to be astounded."
Ice cream flavors include Vanilla Bean, Belgian Chocolate, Vanilla Chocolate Chip, Mocha Chocolate Chip, Coffee, Chocolate Banana, and Maple Butter Pecan (highlighted in the June 2007 issue of Food & Wine). Sorbet flavors are vegan, and include Mango and Strawberry. Some of the extraordinary ingredients used are Madagascar vanilla beans, Sao Thome chocolate (70% cocoa content), Vermont maple syrup, and Georgia pecans.
The pre-packed pints retail for $6.50 and are available at two LCC stores -- 750 Pine Street & 63 Church Street, Burlington.
All LCC's retail locations will continue to offer their All Natural Ice Cream in cups, cones, waffle cones, and chocolate waffle cones, with or without nuts, as well as sundaes featuring their Tanzania Dark Chocolate Sauce (75% cocoa content), malts, and milkshakes. Also look for LCC's ice cream dipping cart to make appearances on the Church Street Marketplace and at area events this summer.
