The Story
That big ol' smiling cow out front welcomes you to a truly sweet slice of Americana, where every scoop of Cedar Crest feels like a hug from grandma. Inside the cheerful retro parlor, the air hums with happy families and the clinking of spoons against dishes piled high with delicious, creamy treats. It's the kind of timeless stop where worries melt away faster than a double dip on a summer day, leaving behind only the pure joy of good ice cream.

I'm traveling from Naperville, Illinois and I had heard about "Bernice" the roadside attraction cow. So I had to make the drive to see her. Once here, I couldn't pass on some quality ice cream. I tried a flavor I've never had , "Wisconsin Campfire S'mores", it was delicious! I'd recommend all my ice cream loving friends to stop here on their travels!

Absolutely amazing ice cream! Hubs and I tried double scoops of lemon cheesecake/pothole Mackinac island fudge and UP Mackinac island/ pothole Mackinac. They were so delicious! The girls working the counter were very friendly and patient as we made our choices. Very reasonably priced. We will be coming back before leaving for home so we can try more flavors!

Scotcheroo: A few years ago, I was browsing the ice cream section when the description of this ice cream caught my eye. At the time, in my ignorance I did not know Scotcheroos are also a type of dessert and not just this flavor of ice cream. So, for those of you who are also behind on the times like I once was, a scotcheroo is a dessert bar made with chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, and Rice Krispies. Apparently the recipe was originally printed on Rice Krispies boxes in the mid-1960s and they remain a popular treat in the Midwest (which explains why I’ve eaten them before, but did not know they were “officially” called Scotcheroos).With that out of the way, Cedar Crest’s ice cream is comprised of butterscotch ice cream, milk chocolate covered crisped rice, and a peanut butter swirl. I was completely wowed by this flavor back then and I still am today! The peanut butter swirl does an excellent job of cutting the super sweet butterscotch ice cream and the milk chocolate crisped rice continue to be a real game changer. Not only did the rice stay nice and crispy, but the pint is just absolutely teeming with them.
