I had my first scoop of Carmen’s Best Ice Cream about a year ago and it was love at first taste! The creamy texture and rich flavours of Carmen’s “He’s not worth it” ice cream melted my blues away. You’ll know that this tub of ice cream is special as soon as you open it. The sight of rich chocolate ice cream drizzled with caramel entices you as the lid comes off.
