Montana is home to several great locally-owned ice cream shops. If you're in search of a sweet treat to cool down during the summer, you have plenty of options. However, if you're looking for the best ice cream in the state, only one shop can claim that honor.

Ice cream shops in Montana are special. You can find unique flavor combinations that you won't find anywhere else. Huckleberry is one flavor that is unique to Montana and a few other western states. A major food website just released a list of the best ice cream shops in every state.

Here's what Love Food said about Big Dipper.

Big Dipper never disappoints, with seriously creamy house-made ice creams in flavors like cardamom, maple walnut, tangerine sorbet, and huckleberry (a customer favorite). There's a variety of toppings available, including Oreos, peanuts, strawberries, and chocolate chips, plus milkshakes, sundaes, and floats. There are two stores in Missoula, plus locations in Helena, Great Falls, and Billings. Look out for the bright-yellow ice cream truck traveling around Missoula, too.

Big Dipper has been serving up handcrafted ice cream since 1995, and has five locations in Montana.

Unfortunately, there isn't one in Bozeman. If you're in Bozeman and craving ice cream, Genuine Ice Cream and Sweet Peaks are popular options.
