What is a Vermont Creemee?
If you're not from Vermont you may have heard of soft serve ice cream or frozen custard, but have you heard of a creemee? Creemees are the Vermont version of a soft frozen treat, with a spin - extra cream! Creemees get their name because they are made with more butterfat than traditional soft serve, making them extra delicious. On a hot day in Burlington, you can find lots of UVM students enjoying maple creemees down by the Burlington Waterfront.
If you like your ice cream extremely local, you can also check out the UVM Dairy Bar on campus, featuring ice cream made with milk from the UVM CREAM program and ingredients including maple syrup also made by UVM students!
