These Best Local Ice Creams In The World
Bells ringing, childhood memories. The ice cream cart comes to our neighborhood, but here in Bombay it’s kulfi. Sometimes it’s the kulfi man with the basket on his head announcing his arrival. As kids we used to run happily for ice cream or kulfi. That instant brain freeze when you bite, the cool feeling in your head, and short numbness on your tongue. Only ice cream can do that. Here is a list of favorite ice creams from around the world by some of our readers and of course us. It’s a Work in Progress that we’ll add to as and when we find some awesome ice cream. Let find out These Best Local Ice Creams In The World below.

These Best Local Ice Creams In The World
Il Gelato Di San Crispino, Rome, Italy
You can’t visit Rome without visiting Il Gelato di San Crispino. Started in the early 1990’s, the store’s craftsmen have been experimenting with flavors and distinguishing themselves through their use of fresh ingredients and flavours without any artificial ingredients. We got there around 4 in the afternoon on a rainy day, but the parlour was still crowded. My sis decided to go for a mix of the Hazelnut Ice Cream with the Caramel Ice Cream, while I opted for the Whiskey Ice Cream with the Cocoa Ice Cream. It got over too soon, I must say. I wanted to go back for more, but my sis didn’t let me. That is once of These Best Local Ice Creams In The World.
Murphy’s Ice Creams In Dingle, Ireland
Ireland’s weather may not make it seem like a top ice cream destination, but no amount of damp, cold, and rain can keep people away from Murphy’s Ice cream. Murphy’s originated in Dingle, Ireland in 2000 but has since expanded to include shops in Dublin, Galway, and Kilkenny, and Killarney. So what makes it so special.
Murphy’s Ice Cream is made the old fashioned way, by hand. They use local, natural ingredients including distilled Dingle rain for sorbets and Dingle ocean water for sea salt. There are no artificial colours or flavours in any of Murphy’s ice cream flavours. My personal favourites are caramel honeycomb and the raspberry sorbet.
Giapo Ice Cream In Auckland, New Zealand
Amongst the many ice creams on this list, the most incredible ice creams are the ones at Giapo in Auckland, New Zealand. These are not normal ice creams. They are real art pieces made of joy and deliciousness. If you ever make it to Auckland, New Zealand, Giapo must be on top of your things to do. This is the best ice cream shop in the world, they are different, they’re beautiful, they’re a surprise, and oh, so delicious.
Camel Milk Ice Cream In The Gobi Desert
When you think of Mongolia, you might think of its Gobi Desert, the history of Genghis Khan, it’s strong horses and camels, and nomadic people living in yurts, but you probably don’t think of ice cream. One of the most unusual ice creams I ever had but not necessarily the best, was at a creamery in the middle of the Gobi Desert.
This green soft serve ice cream was made from camel milk and it cost just a few pennies. We got to visit the creamery, which was surprisingly clean compared to some of the yurt kitchens and cafes we saw on the trip.
La Chiccheria In Sardinia, Italy
Though ice cream is the common translation of the Italian word gelato, the two aren’t exactly the same thing, as the basic ingredients used are different. La Chiccheria may well be one of the best gelaterie in Italy. Located in Villasimius, one of the most famous tourist destinations in Sardinia thanks to its gorgeous beaches, this small gelateria opened no more than 4 years ago in the centre of the village, and became so popular that at any time of the day, any night of the week during the summer, there’s a line of people waiting to be served. As opposed to the most commercial gelaterie, here gelato is a serious thing and it is preserved in metal barrels and covered up so do not expect to walk in and seeing colorful flavors on display.
