Shooting stars!
After visiting with Magnificent Nicholas, we stopped in Prospect at a legendary place called The Big Dipper Ice Cream Factory. The Big Dipper has been around for 35 years or so. They make their own ice cream and distribute it to a number of places, mostly in western Connecticut.
The Big Dipper offers a wide variety of homemade flavors, with a variety of toppings and sprinkles including bunny poop! They sell four or five different cones, cups, sundaes and other tasty products. They also sell ice cream cakes, pies and cookies that look delicious.
Maureen had a chocolate-vanilla soft serve twist with chocolate sprinkles on a chocolate dipped wafer cone. The soft serve was a bit “soft” but tasty. I tried something different…the pistachio ice cream on a sugar cone that had whole pistachios in a sweet cream base with sea salt, which was good and refreshing!
If you are looking for a shooting star, head to the Big Dipper in Prospect.
