A trip to Sweet Rolled Tacos is much more than just dessert, it is an experience. After you order your dessert taco, you can watch the professionals as they custom-make your ice cream creation! Once the ice cream is perfected, it is rolled inside a waffle cone shell and then topped with special treats. Guests can also choose their favorite color of waffle taco cone to add to the experience. Some of the most popular ice cream flavors include the S’mores Galore, Rainbow Road, Strawberry Shortcake, and Coconut Delight. Not only are the ice cream tacos delicious, but it is also one of the most unique ways to have dessert in St. George.

3. Nielsen’s Frozen Custard

If you don’t know the difference between ice cream and custard, it is pretty simple. Regular ice cream is typically served at around 10 degrees, which tends to numb your taste buds. The custard you will find at Nielsen’s is made with all-natural ingredients and is mixed with a tiny amount of egg, which is what provides the creamy and smooth texture. When you receive your favorite flavor of custard, it will be approximately 26 degrees, allowing your taste buds to get a true taste in every bite.

4. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
