Looking for some of the best homemade ice cream in Connecticut? The Big Dipper Ice Cream is a must…read morego for any ice cream lover. I've had their Graham Jam ice cream at the Micro Creamy of CT and is where I first learned about them. The Big Dipper's shop in Prospect was a 20 minute drive for us. The shop was very cute, classic ice cream shop vibes with a lot of indoor seating. There were freezers with ice cream pies, cakes, sandwiches, and pints or quarts of ice cream. They had a lot of hand scooped ice cream flavors from classic to original flavors. There were a few soft serve flavors available too. Since they make their own ice cream there were flavors that were unique to them. I got a scoop of Purple Cloud--a purple cotton candy base ice cream with a marshmallow swirl and Lemon Pie--lemon base ice cream with pie crust pieces. These flavors packed a punch and the Purple Cloud was fun for all ages. I don't remember the last time I had eaten cotton candy flavored ice cream, but the marshmallow swirl was a great touch to a nostalgic flavor. I got my ice cream in a waffle cone which was very delicious and had little bits of caramelization. My mom wanted a special soft serve flavor that the Big Dipper had advertised for the weekend. They called it Butterbeer, a twist of sweet cream and butterscotch. The girl helping us had no idea what we were talking about, but finally confirmed that they had the special soft serve flavors. We think my mom's cone was only the butterscotch flavor, but the soft serve was so soft it started melting immediately. No picture because it didn't look to pretty. Fortunately, the flavor was good and that's what really matters. I'd say stick to the hard ice cream flavors at Big Dipper. I look forward to visiting them again to see what they'll craft up because I'm always looking for flavors you can't get anywhere else.

Let's face it though, most of us don't want te be inside while we're enjoying our ice cream. We want to be outdoors enjoying the warmer weather. This Carvel has ALWAYS been an immaculately clean store each and every time I've been here. The staff are always very patient and kind when I've been trying to decide on which flavor to get. Their ice cream seems to be creamier here than a couple other Carvel stores i stop at. The parking is easy with plenty of spots. They have specialty soft serve flavors all the time. One of my favorite of all time was their vanilla bourbon which was incredible. They haven't had it for the past couple of years but I wish they'd revisit bringing that flavor back. And who doesn't love FUDGY THE WHALE. Many peoples all time favorite. Fudgy the Whale for any occasion. Keep up the fantastic work you always deliver on.

The girl working behind the counter was very helpful when I explained what I was looking for. She's the one who recommended the Sundae. And with the nice weather, they also opened up a little outside seating area, which is partially covered and partially open to the fresh air. And for anyone who hasn't been here, they also sell all kinds of food next door. Today, I'm reviewing the ice cream next time I will try some of the food. Ice cream=5 stars!
