“Life is short…EAT DESSERT FIRST!” is the motto here at this unique ice cream parlor in Philadelphia! I wish I lived in Phili so that I could go here everyday! Luckily, I happened to be walking by this heavenly place and stopped in. Even more luck crossed my path when Matthew Shore, the owner, was there working! I had no idea what to order here! There were so many options that all sounded AMAZING! What makes Scoops DeVille so unique is the drill like machine that takes either your ice cream or yogurt base along with your toppings of choice and creates a speciality soft serve!!!! It’s absolutely incredible!!! You can either create your own flavor or they have blends that Scoops suggest. Matthew made me my first pick, Amber’s Ample Apple! With a yogurt base, he blended apples, sugar cookie dough, caramel, and marshmallow together and out came APPLE PIE IN ICE CREAM FORM!!! Matthew left two spoons in the cup, one that scooped the caramel and one that scooped the marshmallow. So, as you eat you can choose which spoon and sauce topping you want your bites from. I mean, this is taking ice cream to a whole new level!!! Why aren’t more places doing this???!!!! Ok, so the second flavor I tried is the #1 most ordered, Snicker Doodle Dough.
The Snicker Doodle Dough was incredible! I can see why it is very popular with the costumers at Scoops. They blended yogurt with sugar cookie dough, Snickers, and caramel syrup. I could not stop eating this one! Each bite I took off the caramel coated spoon was chock full of candy! The sugar cookie dough blended perfectly and added extra sweetness!!!
I was amazed with both flavors how I could taste every ingredient, yet they were blended so well. It was really fun to have this blizzard like creation in a soft serve form. I tried to talk Matthew into opening one in New York City so that I could go everyday….or maybe work there! I’d spend all day creating new flavors and EATING THEM ALL! What a wonderful world that would be!!! xoxoBlondie
