Old fashioned ice cream

The Piggy Market and Pascale's Ice Cream both started at the Lansdowne Farmers Market at about the same time in 2008. Pascale makes old fashioned ice cream, with a french custard base method. One of those flavours happens to be dark chocolate bacon, and this was the foundation for our discussions. Pretty soon, the bacon ice cream was being made with Piggy Market bacon.

Pascale's Ice Cream is something to be enjoyed, and cherished, because old fashioned ice cream is almost a relic. Pascale also makes sorbet, sherbet, and semi-freddo. But most intriguing of all, Pascale is perhaps one of the few in Canada making goat cheese ice creams. All are very decadent choices to be enjoyed often.
