A sweet treat found on Main Street

'Ice cream 101' continues

After driving this afternoon to what turned out to be an ice cream spot that no longer exists (that was embarrassing) I took daughter Allegra to Eddy's Bake Shop in downtown Ansonia.

I'd heard the bakery recently started making gelato, also known as Italian ice cream, and selling it by the cup. Nine flavors were available.
It has less fat than ice cream but tastes just as good!

Allegra tried key lime. I had to get something chocolate so I chose fudge brownie, with a bit of whipped cream on top, just because. We braved the humidity and sat at one of the three tables on the sidewalk in front of the bakery.

We both gave the gelato a thumbs up and agreed we had to return to try another flavor, such as cookies and cream, tiramisu, or raspberry.

Yum!
