Frozen Key-Lime Pie at 2 Dips Ice Cream
Part pie, part Popsicle, all delicious. This treat—a wedge of icy Key-lime pie encased in a dark-chocolate shell—is everything we want after a day in the sun.
209 E. Savannah Rd., Lewes; 302-645-2347
Ooey Gooey at Notting Hill Coffee Roastery
You’ll need a stack of napkins to take down this nearly foot long braid of glazed dough, which tastes like a cross between a cinnamon bun, a doughnut, and challah bread.
124 Second St., Lewes; 302-645-0733
Rocky Road Fudge at Candy Kitchen
The chocolatiest, butteriest, and most decadent fudge we found, with a ripple of soft marshmallow and plenty of chopped walnuts.
Ice Cream at Hopkins Farm Creamery
Farm-to-scoop is the draw of this stand, which adjoins a cow-filled barn that kids can visit. Our must-order: the freshly churned “moo cookies”-and-cream.
18186 Dairy Farm Rd., Lewes; 302-645-7163
