Ice cream made in-house at Island View
I scream, you scream, we all scream
for ice cream, and gelato, and it is
made in-house at Island View Casino
Resort. The chefs at Island View have
been making their own ice cream
and gelatos since the resort opened
in August 2006. The flavor pastes
are pure and along with the gelato
powders come from Italy. The custard
base comes from a regional dairy.
Jackie Seavey, executive sous chef, along with former chef Tonya Dellinger, developed all the recipes. Sarah Serdynski, pastry chef, and her team manage the creamy, located in The Buffet. They are also responsible for making the ice cream for Sweet Stop, located in The Promenade right inside the entrance to Island View Casino.
