Last summer we discovered the most exquisite handmade ice cream in Maine. Rococo Artisan Ice Cream in Kennebunkport uses local ingredients in their traditional Argentine-style ice cream which they describe as “rich in cream, full of flavor, and frozen slowly; with less air and served warmer to enhance the flavors.” Those flavors, totaling nearly 60, are stunning. Made in small batches, our favorites so far include olive oil, rosemary infused caramel and toasted pepitas; sweet avocado cayenne; strawberry basil; and coffee pow! — truly the best coffee ice cream on earth. The ice cream bar has definitely been raised, in fact we think it is now off the charts.
