The Franklin Mint

MINT CHIP and VANILLA ice creams striped in chocolate syrup, FLUFFY MARSHMALLOW glaze and Crème de Menthe finished with home-made whipped cream and
a mint green maraschino cherry.

Our own breath freshener!

Homemade Hot Fudge

Two dipperfuls of PHILADELPHIA vanilla bean ice cream suffocated in FRANKLIN FOUNTAIN HOT FUDGE and topped with our fresh whipped cream and a cherry… a true American icon.

Wilbur’s dark chocolate is churned SMOOTH with fresh local milk, cream and butter, then cooked ON-SITE in our antique copper candy kettle. Honest ingredients are the best policy for flavor.

The Lightening Rod

A dark chocolate brownie surmounted by COFFEE ice cream bathed in a SHOT of ESPRESSO and peppered with chocolate covered espresso beans, white chocolate shavings and finished with a salty pretzel rod.

Will surely ELECTRIFY even the most enervated.

Mt. Vesuvius

A mountain of CHOCOLATE or VANILLA ice cream ERUPTING with chocolate brownie pieces, CASCADING with hot fudge and BLANKETED in malt powder. A dollop of whipped cream indicates her smoking signal.

A true display of Pomp-eii circumstance.

Southern Sympathizer

RUM RAISIN and PISTACHIO ice creams with pecans and pistachios SMOTHERED in hot caramel and STUDDED with Praline brittle.

This Franklin Fountain original is as pretty as a sweet-talking LOUISIANA GIRL in her Sunday best.

Maple Leaf Rag

An homage to Scott Joplin’s popular 1899 piano, two dipperfulls of CHOCOLATE ice cream are shellacked in pure MAPLE WALNUTS, the syrupy sweetness cut by “The Sting” of tart PINEAPPLE, crushed fresh & piqued with Whipped Cream.  In season, ask for the BANANA Ice Cream Variation.

{as famously featured in The New York Times.}

Peach Melba Parfait

FRESH PEACH ice cream DOUSED with rasberry puree, sprinkled with diced almonds and finished with a collar of RUFFLED whipped cream. Following soprano Nellie Melba’s performance of Wagner’s “Lohengrin” in 1893, French chef Auguste Escoffier was moved to create an exquisite dessert for Dame Nellie.

This is a variation on Escoffier’s famous dessert.

The Stock Market Crunch

ROCKY ROAD ice cream coated in thick peanut butter sauce and paved with crumbled salt pretzels. William Dreyer and Joseph Edy concocted the first batch of rocky road ice cream in 1929 following the great stock market crash to give consumers something to SMILE about during the impending Depression.

Broken Hearts

{recipe taken from The Dispenser’s Formulary, 1910}

“…put a slice of BRICK VANILLA ice cream on a 6-inch plate. Cover the ice cream with fresh, sweetened, and slightly mashed strawberries, and over these put sweetened whipped cream; top off with two whole strawberries and serve with two nabisco wafers. Sells for 20 cents. {F. Varney}
