Bassetts Ice Cream is pleased to announce Wegmans as a new retail partner. Like Bassetts, Wegmans is a family-owned and operated company with a rich history.

One of those premium products is now Bassetts Ice Cream.  These seven delicious flavors are now available at several Wegmans locations:
        • Vanilla
        • Chocolate
        • Mint Chocolate Chip
        • Raspberry Truffle
        • Peanut Butter Swirl
        • Butterscotch Vanilla
        • Guatemalan Ripple
Six southeastern Pennsylvania Wegmans locations , with another store joining in the distribution in November, are offering America's oldest ice cream brand. Check the freezer section of these fine Wegmans stores for pints of Bassetts Ice Cream:

Chris DiGiuseppe, Temple University Student and Specialty Cone Maker

While he's only been working at our Reading Terminal Market store since May of this year, Chris DiGiuseppe has made a name for himself as one of our most accomplished specialty cone make rs. If you ask Chris what he enjoys about working at Bassetts, he'll say, "Not only do I like the people I'm working with, I'm serving the best ice cream available and that makes it the easiest job, ever!" 

When Chris isn't making specialty cones or scooping ice cream, you can find him studying at Temple University, where he's majoring in Criminal Justice and planning to graduate in 2017. In case you're wondering, Chris' favorite flavor of Bassetts Ice Cream is pistachio and if he could add a flavor to our current list, he'd vote for cantaloupe sorbet.

La Liegeoise Waffles Serving Bassetts

Check out  this Belgian Chocolate Cookie Crumble with a scoop of Bassett's French Vanilla Ice Cream. Or maybe you'd prefer a scoop of chocolate ice cream instead with your Liege Waffle? What's a Liege Waffle, you ask?

The Liege Waffle was  originated in the 18th Century by the chef of the Prince Bishop of Liege. The P rince Bishop asked to have a pastry filled with pieces of pearl sugar. The result was a delicious treat that has been enjoyed in Belgium for centuries. 

Belgian pearl sugar  is infused into the buttery sweet Brioche style dough and when baked in a special cast iron
waffle maker, it creates a caramelized outer shell with a soft interior  tha t will tantalize your taste buds and take your love of waffles to new heights! Combine  La Liegeoise Waffles and Bassetts Ice Cream and it is an exquisite pairing that can't be matched. 

One suggestion from Lucien Eyen, co-founder and CEO of La Liegeoise Waffles, is the popular Nutty Nutella Banana Cream Dream with a scoop of Bassetts French Vanilla ice cream or the Belgian Chocolate Cookie Crumble with Chocolate Ice Cream.  Visit La Liegeoise Waffles at the Cherry Hill (NJ) Mall and treat your tastebuds to a dream come true.

MELTKRAFT & Valley Shepherd Creamery


This month, in an ongoing series featuring our Reading Terminal Market partners, we are pleased to turn the spotlight on MeltKraft.

You're probably wondering what makes Meltkraft grilled cheese sandwiches so darn delicious. Well, it starts with the cheese. It is handmade from grass-fed raw milk, then cave-aged for 3 to 18 months and it all begins at their Valley Shepherd Creamery in Long Valley, NJ. Meltkraft then adds the finest bread before grilling their sandwiches to pleasing perfection. Yummy!

In addition to their Reading Terminal Market location and four stores in the greater New York City area, Meltkraft has opened  a second Philadelphia location,  Rittenhouse Square. Here they feature hand-spun milkshakes made with none other than our  World Famous  Bassetts Ice Cream. Imagine a luscious Bassetts shake alongside a delicious Meltkraft sandwich and it's a combo that's hard to beat!

Who Doesn't  Love Bassetts Ice Cream?
 
Reviewed August 2015

I'm a sucker for good ice cream, so to me, the price was very reasonable. I get the kids cone, which I don't believe is listed, but it is plenty for me. My favorite flavor (so far) has been the green tea ice cream. The servers are always helpful in giving suggestions and helping people decide on the size they want. 

Pro Tip: Go during the week to avoid that massive line that occurs on summer weekends.
