50 Tastes: Maple Creemees, Vermont

Soft-serve, you say? More like maple creemee. Hold the fake stuff, it's only pure syrup here.

 

Yes, it's called a creemee. Or is it creamy? Maybe creamee? How about a creemie? Spelling aside, this delicacy is not just simply what the rest of the country refers to as soft-serve ice cream. There's more than just the 5-6% butterfat cream base, pure maple syrup, and truly melt-in-your-mouth experiences to these. There's a history and culture to Vermont maple creemees. Maple and dairy go hand in hand when it comes to the state's history and continues in present-day agriculture. Where else comes to mind when you hear the words "maple syrup"?! (Besides Canada, of course). Vermont is also one of the few states where I can provide my own insight on both the state and taste. And to that, all I can say is there are indeed cows at every corner and maple creemee signs not too far behind.


Side note, this recipe is based on a Homemade No-Churn Soft Serve Ice Cream Recipe from Emma's Goodies. Because of that, it uses pure maple sugar rather than syrup, but still provides the same great maple flavor nonetheless!
