The Coolest Treats in DeSoto County

Whether you’re looking to cool off after a long day by the pool or just want to indulge your sweet tooth, DeSoto County, Mississippi, has you covered. 

Area 51
You won’t have to go to a galaxy far, far away to try some out-of-this world ice cream. Hernando’s Area 51 serves up handmade artisan ice cream using in-season produce, some of which is sourced from local farms.

 

DeSoto Snow & Creamery
DeSoto Snow & Creamery in Southaven has a little bit of everything. Pop in seven days a week for hand-dipped ice cream, cookie sandwiches, ice cream cakes, snowcones, a la mode baked goods, banana splits and more.

 

Happy Daze Dairy Bar
With three dozen ice cream flavors to choose from, making decisions at Happy Daze Dairy Bar in Nesbit is tough. Aside from regular and dipped cones, you can enjoy shakes, floats, malts, banana splits or the Black Magic – brownie a la mode with hot fudge sauce.

 

Happy Ice Cream
If you have ice cream fans and popsicle lovers in the family, head to Happy Ice Cream in Olive Branch. This spot offers hand-dipped ice cream and loaded popsicles (popsicles topped with your choice of gummy candy), among other sweets.

 

La Michoacana
For a popsicle that packs a punch, visit Horn Lake’s La Michoacana. Its signature paletas, a Mexican frozen dessert, are made with fresh fruits such as strawberries, mangoes and pineapples.

Vampire Penguin
Vampire Penguin is a must next time you’re at Southaven’s Silo Square. Based on a Taiwanese dessert, its shaved snow (not to be confused with shaved ice) is light and fluffy and can be topped with your choice of goodies.


Velvet Cream
Hernando’s Velvet Cream, also known as The Dip, has been in business since 1947. It offers dozens of hand-scooped ice cream flavors, plus milkshakes, concretes, soft serve, snow cones, sundaes and smoothies – there is something for everyone.
