It’s National Ice Cream Day! Here’s the Best Ice Cream in Collin County

There is no question why this special holiday was picked for one of the hottest months of the year. In celebration of this delicious holiday, we’ve compiled a list of the best ice cream in Collin County! 

Cow Tipping Creamery

This gem is located at The Star facility in Frisco. In addition to shakes, cups, and cones with a variety of toppings, the Cow Tipping Creamery also offers what they call “stackers.” A stacker is like an ice cream parfait, layered with ice cream and toppings to give you great flavors in every bite. Yum! Bonus: You can enjoy your ice cream while the kids run and play on the field at the Tostitos Championship Plaza.

Must try: ‘Reese’s Witha’spoon’ (soft serve + peanut butter blondie bar chunks, brown sugar hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, peanut butter chips) or ‘It’s Your Birthday’ stacker (soft serve + Funfetti cake chunks, rainbow sprinkles, and white chocolate sauce).

You won’t have any trouble finding the right flavor for you. You can find Paciugo inside the Watters Creek shopping area in Allen, conveniently surrounded by shops, restaurants, and an area for the kids to play.

Nadia Sherwin
Nadia was born and raised in Collin County and currently lives in Wylie. She is a former kindergarten teacher, but is staying at home for the first time this year with her own little students: two year old TWINS and five-month-old TRIPLETS. Yes, you read that right, five children under three years old! Though her hands are very (literally) full, Nadia wouldn't have it any other way. Nadia always makes time to snap pictures of her littles, have friends over for parties, and go on adventures with her family. You can often find her falling asleep sitting up, nursing/pumping for the triplets, binge watching terrible TV shows in the wee hours of the morning, or surfing Pinterest for meals she'll never cook and crafts she'll never make. Nadia's new-found love is exercising and taking steps day-by-day to become the best version of herself.
