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.
