Providenciales Ice Cream Shops

The island of Providenciales features a great selection of ice cream parlors and other sweets shops, which are able to satisfy any sweet tooth.

The traditional cuisine of the Turks and Caicos doesn’t have as broad a selection of desserts and sweet treats, which was primarily due to the expense and difficulty of importing or producing sugar or other sweet goods. Some crops, including sugar cane, sugar apples, papaya, mangos, and guineps were raised in limited quantities, and provided a welcome complement to the staples of seafood, rice, beans, maize, salt meat, and plantains. Caramel made with the excellent Salt Cay salt, Bambarra Rum cake, and semi-baked sweet fruit cake are some of the few desserts that have a close connection to our islands.

The larger supermarkets on Providenciales, which include Graceway IGA and Graceway Gourmet, stock a wide collection of imported ice cream, candy, and chocolates. Some of the gift shops in the Grace Bay area, such as Flowers by EA, also stock gourmet chocolates suitable for Valentine’s Day and other special occasions.
