I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream…especially when enormous portions are involved! And that’s exactly what you’ll find at Velvet Cream, an old-fashioned drive-in known for its epic sweets. From towering ice cream cones to an 8-pound ice cream bucket, it’s the perfect place to satisfy your sweet tooth.
There’s no better place to satisfy your sweet tooth (regardless of its size) than Velvet Cream in Hernando.
Also known as The Dip, it’s a local landmark, serving up great eats and sweets since 1947.
Its popularity hasn’t wavered over the years. If anything, it’s only increased, which is evidenced by the crowd of people that can usually be found gathered in its parking lot.
It’s not surprising that the drive-in attracts hoards of hungry diners. The “burger bazaar and ice cream emporium” serves up over 20 types of gourmet burgers…
…and “nationally famous” soft serve, frozen yogurt, hand-dipped ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and Italian ice.
The sweet selection doesn’t end there, though. There are also milkshakes, concretes, malts, sundaes, smoothies, slushes, and snows.
Most of the treats are available in larger-than-usual sizes. For instance, the ice cream cups range in size, from a “baby cup” to the “I-55,” which is a whopping 60 ounces!
And for die-hard ice cream fans, there’s the Gallon Challenge, which requires contenders to finish nearly 8 pounds of ice cream in one sitting.
Those who complete the challenge get a t-shirt and a spot on the wall of fame.
Hearty helpings aren’t the only unique thing about the dessert menu, though.
There are also signature creations, like the Hole In One. Made by placing homemade ice cream between two donuts, it’s like a sweet dream brought to life.
