True ice cream fans know that more is always better! Le Grand Verglas (The Great Ice Storm), a creamery on Montreal's South Shore, lives by the same motto with its famous four-level cones. How could you not add crushing one of these delicious behemoths to your summer bucket list? 

The "frozen bistro" in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu specializes in cold desserts from gelato to milkshakes and bubble tea — but if you want to go big or go home, order the "Grand Verglas." 

Editor's Choice: La Grande Roue's Summer Lineup Includes Mocktails, Yoga Mornings & A Photo Booth

The four-level cone is made with your choice of four out of 24 flavours of soft-serve ice cream. You can also choose to dip each layer in a coat of Belgian chocolate. 

Soft serve flavours range from pina colada to caramel while Belgian chocolate flavours include Smore's and Baileys. To top it all off, everything is homemade! 

Not so hungry? Don't fret. You can also get the medium with three scoops or the small with two scoops.

Plus, there are plenty of other decadent frozen desserts on the menu to keep your taste buds happy all summer long.
