Dairy Whip is at it again.

Last week, Dairy Whip gained many metro Detroit fans after making a Faygo Rock & Rye ice cream for its flavor of the week.

The Redford ice cream shop is continuing to ride the Faygo wave, this time with a Red Pop-flavored ice cream. Like the Rock & Rye ice cream, which was really a sorbet, the Faygo Red Pop flavor is vegan and can be swirled with vanilla soft serve (not vegan) to give it a more creamy texture.

We felt like the Rock & Rye soft serve tasted a bit like Red Pop anyway, so this isn’t much of a stretch. We have to give it to Dairy Whip as this string of Faygo flavors is an excellent tactic to get them more customers.

Last week, we rushed to the shop and waited in line excited for our Rock & Rye waffle cone, but we’ll pass this time as the novelty has worn off for us.

Who knows, maybe we’ll change our minds before the week is out. If you wanna try Dairy Whip’s Faygo Red Pop ice cream, you have until Sunday, Aug. 20.

The essential Detroit area ice cream shops you should have tried by now

The Custard Hut 25947 W. Warren St., Dearborn Heights; 313-278-5577 Who says your frozen custard only has to be served in a cone or a cup? At The Custard Hut you can get your favorite frozen flavor packed between two waffles.

The Custard Co. 2801 Monroe St., Dearborn; 313-274-1750; thecustardco.com The Custard Company carries a variety of frozen delicacies including cookie sandwiches, shakes, and their ever popular sweet bun ice cream sandwiches.

Frosty Boy 38650 Jefferson Ave., Harrison Twp; 586-465-3322 Conveniently located next to Lake St. Clair Metro Park, Frosty Boy is Harrison Township’s beloved frozen custard spot. They’ve got soft serve, Dole whips, sundaes, shakes, flurries, and banana splits, but most importantly, they offer pup cups so your four-legged friends can get in on the ice cream action.

Treat Dreams 22965 Woodward Ave., Ferndale; 248-544-3440 | 621 E. 11 Mile Rd., Madison Heights Treat Dreams rotates its ice cream flavors often, but don’t think you’ll only go and find chocolate or vanilla. You might walk in and see lobster bisque or zucchini bread on the menu. The shop just recently opened a Madison Heights location that is walk-up and drive-thru only.

Family Treat 2010 Springwells St., Detroit; 313-841-3522 Dipped cones, waffle cones, and sundaes are all classics you can find at Family Treats. If you just so happen to be hungry, you can grab a hot dog or a tac while you’re there.

The Split 532 E. Nine Mile Rd., Hazel Park; 248-571-2064 Just because it’s named The Split, doesn’t mean that’s all it has to offer. The Split not only sells sundaes, but also soft-serve cones, mochi, waffle stacks and more.
