We make our own ice cream and
gelato, and we have a very popular
holiday ice cream dessert we call
The Trio: gingerbread with crushed
gingerbread cookies mixed in and
chopped spiced gumdrops sprinkled
on top; pumpkin with candied pepitas
and chocolate with our housemade
white chocolate peppermint bark
mixed in. We do that as a passed
dessert, in a sundae bar, or in small
shot glasses.
