Amy's Ice Creams

Amy's Ice Creams was founded here in Austin, Texas in 1984! It was founded by Amy Simmons. It was a last minute call to drive over and pick up some of the Ice Cream. Their most popular one was called the Mexican Vanilla. We brought it home, tired. We took one bite and quickly devoured the entire thing without talking. It brought back a familiar taste from India for my parents. The combo was Madagascar Vanilla and Mexican Orchid. In my words, "Perfection!"
