Our expert real estate advisors suggest stopping by the following unmissable ice cream destinations:

• Cammie's Old Dutch Ice Cream Shoppe - 2511 Old Shell Road, Mobile, AL 36607
  Cammie's Old Dutch Ice Cream Shoppe has a long history of serving scoops to satisfied customers and has earned its place as a Mobile icon. The owner and her husband make 700 gallons of ice cream a week at their creamery and offer 47 flavors at the shop, so you'll have plenty of creamy cold deliciousness to choose from. Creole Praline is the favorite of many customers, but you can't go wrong with any other flavors, including Brownie Delight (enhanced with brownies baked in-house), Red Velvet, Bear Claw, and Biscotti.
    
• Sno DASH - 3240 Dauphin St., Mobile, AL 36606
  Rolled ice cream at Sno DASH not only gives you plenty of yummy flavors to choose from, but you'll also get a kick out of watching your order being made on a plate that's below freezing. A liquid ice cream base is poured onto the plate, your mix-ins are added and blended, and then it's all neatly rolled and upright served in a cup. Customizations are nearly endless since you can add Oreos, Nutter Butters, fresh fruit, Snickers, Reese's, Cocoa Puffs, Fruity Pebbles, or many other fun and colorful options.
  
  
• Peppermint Gelato & Cafe - 5951 Old Shell Rd., Mobile, AL 36608
  You'll find Peppermint Gelato & Cafe across from the University of South Alabama's Mitchell Center, where you can order Italy's version of ice cream. Choose from 12 flavors offered daily (Pistachio is the best seller), but if you're having trouble deciding, the staff will let you try some samples. Eat inside at the cozy former house, or chill out on the covered porch. Tour these Mobile homes for sale after your visit.
