   White Mountain Ice Creamery
   Bloomington, Indiana USA

   This cozy and traditional Mom and Pop shop make their own homemade ice
   cream on site in the front window. I worked there for about five years and
   now can only eat the “good stuff.” They also have homemade novelty items such
   as turtle bars, bon bons and mud pie. They make their own hot fudge that is the
   most delicious I’ve ever tasted as well as malts, sodas, milkshakes, banana splits,
   etc. They do mix-ins on a marble counter top and make their own waffle cones.
   A nice touch that I’ve never seen anywhere else is that they put on M&M in the
   bottom of the cone to block ice cream leakage. My favorite: cinnamon. My other
   fond memories: strawberry, sweet cream, egg nog, pumpkin, banana, baklava,
   coffee, vanilla yogurt and Mexican vanilla. A must if you’re ever in Indiana.
