Uncle Louie Gee's Ices

August is the time to keep cool. This is the time for a nighttime treat of going for a cup of ice or ice cream. Luckily there's a new chain out there, ready to freeze out the competition.It's called Uncle Louie Gee's and it melds traditional Italian ices with funky new flavors. The result is downright delicious with a variety of flavors and textures.

This newest chain of cooling treats comes out of Staten Island , New York.It was actually based on a Brooklyn Italian ice recipe from the Thirties. It results in a creamier, denser ice that's rich in both texture and flavor. The brightly colored parlor offers the traditional fruit ices such as lemon,cherry , orange and watermelon . Then there are the Italian influenced such as cannoli(!) cappucino and spumoni along with some of the funkier flavors such as chocolate mousse and peanut butter chocolate cup.Some ices even have giant chocolate bits along with pretzels mixed in. This is definitely a new spin on the traditional water based ice.

Uncle Louie Gee's also has ice cream and ice cream cakes too. Each chain has the usual, chocolate and vanilla along with a butter pecan and rocky road. However there are some more unusual flavors too. Try a yummy Brooklyn Cheesecake or Apple Pie a la Mode along with Birthday Cake Surprise and Harvest Pumpkin Pie. Uncle Louie Gee's also has cakes too and they can be customized. The fillings are equally as tasty with the addition of crushed Oreos and pound cake to the traditional chocolate crunch. Another plus is that you can get traditional cones and sundaes here too.

This is August - the month for cool, icy treats. Uncle Louie Gee's has all this and much more. If there's one in your neighborhood stop in. You won't be disappointed by the rich quality of their ices and ice creams!
