Downhome is looking for the scoop on the best ice cream makers in Atlantic Canada. Is there anybody out there who can make ice cream as good as Moo-moos in St. John's? We're going to profile the most popular ice cream spots in NL and the Maritimes, so if you know of an ice cream maker that should be in this story, shout out their name right here in this thread!

To me the best ice cream of all time is Brookfield. Years ago while I visited a doctor to verify the problems of a broken back and noticed seven or eight Brookfield plastic cases in his office containing odds and ends.
I questioned him about them and he said he had worked in a St. John's hospital and had recently moved to Ontario and had scrounged those cases for his move. I mentioned that Brookfield was the best ice cream I ever tasted and it was too bad it was no longer around. He agreed and said it was still around but under a different name. Unfortunately I can't remember that name now. Fortunately I do remember the taste and the delicious sensation of biting the end off the cone and sucking the ice cream down through the cone and eating it from the wrong end.
I have never tasted any other ice cream that came close to matching Brookfield's flavors.

Brookfield is the best of all...I also like the ice-cream in New York...good stuff.
I make a dessert at the french restaraunt where I work as a chef...La Boheme
I use a bourbon ice cream from France. I fill two crepes and present it on a choco painted plate...I drizzle it with chocolate,caramel, and pralines...and a piped rosette of whipped cream crowned with a spun sugar garish in the shape of a heart.I will take a pic of it when I get a chance and download it here.

It's so easy to get ice cream these days, but most are rubbery tasting. But the best tasting icecream was the one we "cranked" for under my french grandmaman's supervision.
She placed the rich cream in the oldest bucket I ever saw and added a pinch of salt and at least a cup of sugar. Then she'd use some egg whites, mix it in, and let it settle in the old ice fridge. Then after a while it would get cold and the work would begin. We'd each take turns cranking that old handle and when about a half hour was over, you'd think the ice cream was ready? Not on your life!
It would have to be put back in the fridge and the process would happen again....the whole thing taking maybe two to three hours. But when our arms were cranked to death, the last freezing would occur and thirty minutes later we'd have the best darn ice cream a lad could want!!
So the ice cream I scream for is my Grandmaman Felixina's ice cream. How's that for a Brand name??

I beleive the best icecream I ever had was in the summer of 1948. I was 6 years old and myself and Bobo Beasley and Hobo Parrish and Bo's sisters Snowdean and Willodean were playing in grandma's garden. Grandma liked spicy food and she grew some of the reddest, hottest peppers I can remember ever seeing. On this baking hot summer day we all dared each other to eat a pepper. It took awhile to build up our courage, but we all finally managed to bite one of the peppers. Tears immediately began to flow and by this time we had the hot pepper on our fingers and when we tried to wipe the tears managed to get an eyefull of red pepper juice. Just at that time the adults had finished churning the homemade icecream and we were called to get our bowls of icecream. Man! that felt so delicious when that cold icecream was rubbed into our eyes. Absolute best icecream I'ved ever looked through. Remind me to tell you about the time we got into the bee hives.

Well Das I'm glad to hear someone else ate their ice cream by biting the bottom off and sucking that ice cream through the bottom of the cone. It was some good too!!
Great story Jetta, would love to hear about the beehives!!

is that a Habs jacket.
Brookfield was the best. There's an icecream truck in a little town in Maine that sells wild blueberry ice cream in the summer and it's wonderful. |

Best ice cream I ever ate was in the drug store across from the Popular Theater(now town hall) in Grand Falls They made their own and it cost a nickle a cone or a dime for one of the double scoop cones. What we did was buy two singles of different flavors and stick one on top of the other and that way you ate a cone first then had a double decker to lick before it melted away. A quarter was a movie and three cones.
My favorite was and is Maple Walnut
Best ice cream in Nova Scotia is at Avery's farm markets in the Annapolis Valley and it costs 1.25 for a baby cone which is two scoops.
