There’s a special little ice cream shop in Illinois that is home to a frozen dairy delight that will blow your mind (or freeze it). This place is home to a giant ice cream sundae that has 21 scoops in total.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth that just won’t quit, this shop has the perfect treat for you. Check it out:
The Brown Cow is an old-fashioned ice cream stand and soda fountain that has been in business since 2004. It is a great place to host parties or to spend a lazy afternoon.
The interior is very vintage with cafe seating, calming colors, and a relaxed atmosphere. It is open Sunday through Thursday from noon to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from noon to 11 p.m.
Now, for what you've been waiting for: This giant ice cream sundae is called The Trough, and it includes 21 scoops of ice cream, which is one of each flavor offered by this shop. It is then topped with a bunch of whipped cream, nuts, cherries, and sprinkles.
Additional specialties include homemade root beer, gourmet coffee drinks, and a wealth of different sundaes with toppings like crushed cookies, waffle cones, caramel, and even gummy worms.
Try unique combinations called Keegan's Cup of Dirt, Laura's Strawberry Field, and Peyton's Cinn-ful Sundae.
The store also sells cakes, pies, and cupcakes, and you can even get ice cream pie. In addition to these novelties, you can also purchase ice cream by the pint, quart, gallon, or tub.
This giant ice cream sundae comes with a shirt, and you can enlist your friends to help you eat it if you want. Stop by any day to take on this epic challenge.
