2011 Best Ice Cream, Classic

Picco

Connoisseurs of pure and simple ice cream are all about two things: richness of flavor and quality of texture. Picco delivers both, first by using the most intense ingredients available in every batch (Vietnamese cinnamon; fudgy chocolate chunks), and second by making everything from scratch—a whole new meaning for cold comfort.
