They’re out in the country (well, as much in the country as you can be in Enfield), they have a ice cream loving cat, and they have an ice cream sampler that gets you 4 flavors or $4.95. Yes, please.

All four were very, very good, but two were remarkable. The maple walnut, on the left, was just sweet enough, and the walnut chunks were huge. Most of them were full walnut halves and they were also very, very, bitter. The texture was nice and dense and creamy and the crunchy, bitter walnuts were perfect against the sweet ice cream base. On the far right was their Indian Pudding flavor, with just the right amount of cornmeal grittiness and a deep, dark molasses flavor.

Collins Creamery is open Noon to 9pm this fall. It may be my favorite place to get ice cream in Hartford County.
