A little Death by chocolate… in the Shakespearean sense.

July 12, 2007 No Comments

Death by Chocolate has become a bit of a cliche when used to describe desserts of various types: Death by Chocolate cake, Death by Chocolate cookies, Death by Chocolate gelato, Death by Chocolate ice cream, and so on.  It’s overdone.  It has been usurped by the gods of marketing  to the point of utter meaninglessness.

But the Death by Chocolate Ice Cream at Lee’s Homemade Ice Cream Shoppe isn’t simply deserving of the title… it truly caused me to die a little death* with with every bite.  Creamy, chocolaty goodness, with a milk fat percentage that’s probably higher than half-and-half… but worth every calorie.

Lee’s has dozens of other fantastic flavors of ice cream.  My other favorites include Arbuckles (more similar to a Stracciatella than regular chocolate chip ice cream), and a deliciously creamy coconut ice cream.

Lee’s is located in the Old Town area of Fredericksburg, a great place get a cone and wander around on a warm summer night.  There’s always a line, but service is speedy, and friendly as could be.  Lee’s also has a wonderfully chilly water fountain to wash away whatever guilt you may experience after downing one (two….three… four….) scoops of the most delicious ice cream you’ve ever tasted.

Do yourself a favor and try the Death by Chocolate.  But if you’re on a  date, make sure they get another flavor…  otherwise you won’t get any for a week.  It’s that good.
