Karie Anne’s Gelatis
Karie Anne’s Italian Ice & Custard
Bountiful | Sweet Treat | Food Truck
I have had Karie Anne’s for many years now starting with their expansion from southern Idaho into Logan. Karie Anne’s is now featuring a new location in Bountiful. They are known for their frozen deserts which can be tried multiple ways. If you are a first timer to Karie Anne’s I recommend trying a small Gelati. You get to choose 2 separate Italian ice flavors as well as one custard flavor for the middle. Eventually, you may fall into the Italian ice only camp or a big serving of the custard.
The secret menu trick of Karie Anne’s is to order a small with a topping. This moves you from a small serving cup to a medium serving cup for only the additional cost of the caramel or frostbite topping. It is a good way to get close to a medium in size without the step up in price.
Order for First Timers
1x Small Gelati add caramel (Make sure you mention the caramel up front so they can grab a larger cup!). Layering order - Mention you want Green Apple on top with the caramel, then vanilla custard then a Tiger’s Blood or other classic snowcone flavor on the bottom.
