The hot summer sun creates the perfect conditions for playing with food. Rapidly licking scoops of ice cream or spooning shaved pieces of flavored ice before they melt are fun ways to beat the heat. You can find various flavors and textures of frozen treats throughout Vancouver, some in unexpected places.

Stephanie McNees and Mitchell Flies at Treat in downtown Vancouver have spent the long winter honing their ice cream recipes.
“For ice cream, you need a formula,” McNees said. “It’s like an algebra equation to get the perfect concoction. You need just the right balance of cream and milk or coconut cream and coconut milk, sugar, eggs or egg substitute, and stabilizers.”
Treat’s super-premium 17 percent milk fat ice cream is made with high-quality ingredients and natural stabilizers combined with scratch-made mix-ins and toppings served in freshly baked waffle cones.
