These Ice Cream Makers Are Popping Up In PVD Weekly And You'll Want To Treat Yourself

The Best Time For Ice Cream Is Always

Can we dish…

About local ice cream?

This summer we have gone out of our way to revisit old favorites around the state such as Brickley’s in Narragansett, The Inside Scoop in North Kingstown, and of course, Gray’s at the Four Corners in Tiverton and sample different flavors. (Okay, mostly coffee, but whatevs.)

Heck yeah, those were all yummy, but I have news about the hottest (translation? hard to get hands on) ice cream pop-up right now.

I actually found out about it via a Povidence friend’s IG. She designs custom gowns (and much more) and previously worked as the head of wardrobe for Dave Letterman’s old show.

Well, ever since I saw her post about some fig leaf ice cream and pluot (sorbet) goodness, I’ve been obsessing.

I mean, if you’re someone who lives for treats made with in-season, locally-sourced ingredients, as well as intriguing combinations and flavor experiences, you too are gonna flip (in the best possible way).

Also, it’s a marvelous way to extend that summer feelin as we transition into autumn.

I’m talking about Providence’s Big Feeling Ice Cream and they are popping up somewhere today, but (sniffle) I waited too long to get my order in, so I’m out of luck.

If your interest is piqued, you’ll want to know that their current menu includes such delights as Salty Chocolate, Mascarpone, Strawberry Kumquat With Mint, and Mango & Lime Leaf Sorbet. (Sounds tasty and inspired, right??)

Their pop-ups are set up such that you must get your order in a few days in advance, though, so don’t rest on your laurels like I did.

I would strongly recommend checking out their Insta, their site and (most importantly) going online to get your order in before it’s all gone (yep, sold out).

And maybe we’ll pass each other on our way to pick up our respective orders of Big Feeling next week.

We can always smile under our masks and wave at one another from a distance of 6 feet or more.

Please know that I will be sharing more about this small batch, locally crafted cold treat over on Instagram soon.
