MN Ice Cream Shop Named Among Best Creameries In U.S.: Report

MINNESOTA — Minnesota residents looking for some sweet relief from the summer heat should make it a point to check out a few creameries that were ranked among the best ice cream shops in the nation, according to a new report.

Thrillist named the 40 best ice cream shops in the U.S. in an era where ice cream has been renewed as an artistry as new wave creameries crop up around the country.

The list includes plant-based creameries, shops where cones have been spiked with booze and complex flavors you can bet you've never heard of.

One creamery in Minnesota made the sweet list: Milkjam Creamery, in Minneapolis.

"The geniuses at the centrally located Minneapolis ice cream shop really blew our minds with Jam Buns," says Thrillist. "Basically, a warm donut is split in two like a hamburger bun and then stuffed with ice cream and toppings (think Thai Tea with caramelized Rice Krispies).

Milkjam also features "Cereal Killers" with orange coriander milk and candied Fruity Pebbles, "Uma," which has greek yogurt and a passion fruit-lychee swirl, and "Ridin’ Duuurty" with Oreo milk, Oreo chunks, and salted peanut butter.
