Vermont Ice Cream Scoop Shops
There are many reasons why we love summers in Vermont; from hiking in the beautiful mountains and swimming in the lake to visiting the many attractions and markets. But one of our favorite things to do is indulge in our very own homemade ice cream. It is irresistible and made right here in Vermont! Lake Champlain Chocolates has received the Seven Daysies "Best Housemade Ice Cream" award four years in a row (2014-2017). Our award-winning ice cream is available for your enjoyment at our Burlington and Waterbury, VT scoop shops, not only during the summer months, but year-round!
Enjoy classic flavors like Vanilla, Belgian Chocolate, Coffee and Vanilla Chocolate Chip, or try something different like our Mango Sorbet, Maple Butter Pecan and Salted Caramel. Flavors offered in our three local scoop shops are always changing, as we create new delicious tastes for you to try, so be sure to visit us at our Church Street Marketplace and Pine Street locations in Burlington, or on Route 100 in Waterbury. Treat yourself, friends and family to a cone, sundae, iced hot chocolate, or one of our popular milkshakes, like the Go-Go Shake, which is made with coffee ice cream and two shots of espresso!
High Quality, Local Ingredients Combined to Bring You the Greatest Flavor
Not only is our ice cream incredibly tasty, it also supports Vermont agriculture. We use local ingredients, including fresh cream, maple syrup, and raspberries (for the swirl in our Raspberry Jam ice cream). Honey harvested from bees kept at the Intervale Center is used in our Honey ice cream. Vermont is our home and at Lake Champlain Chocolates we take pride in our craftsman’s approach and using ingredients that support our local farmers.
All of the confections included in our creations are handcrafted. Our housemade caramel, praline pecans and chocolate chips are hand-whipped into the ice cream in small batches to ensure ultimate quality and taste. We use rich dark chocolate for our chocolate-based flavors, melting it and making it into a ganache. Looking to try something with chocolate made from scratch? Take your experience to the next level with our single-origin chocolate ice cream made using Dominican Republic Reserva Zorzal chocolate bars and nibs produced from cacao beans by Blue Bandana Chocolate Maker. Sure to be a treat for your taste buds, it was recognized by Food Republic among "The Best Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Ice Cream in North America".
At Lake Champlain Chocolates we are as passionate about our ice cream as we are about our chocolate! Regardless of the time of year, it is always a good time to visit our café and indulge in the best Vermont has to offer in homemade ice cream. Stop in to one of our scoop shops in Burlington or Waterbury, VT and experience our love for fresh, great tasting ice cream and other delectable treats!
