Announcing our April Flavors of the Month! #83 Pretzelpretzel ice cream with peanut butter rippleNope, not pretzels in ice cream. This is our pretzel ice cream. We captured that “there’s-just-something-about-a-fresh-pretzel” essence and infused it into our cream, so every bite tastes like a pretzel. A Sigmund’s Pretzel, at that. We ripple the ice cream with peanut butter and included bits of chocolate covered pretzels, ya know, for meta effect. #84 Yellowcakelemon ice cream with chunks of yellow cakeNope, not poison. But this pint is toxically delicious. Our Yellowcake ice cream is our signature creamy oh-so-sweet-yet-yikes-so-tart lemon ‘scream, mixed with chunks of yellow lemon cake cupcakes from our favorite cup caking duo, Robicelli’s. It’s a collaboration years in the making, brought to you to kick off Spring.

Help us select our Signature Flavors! 
We’re doing something that (we think) is cool. The backstory is this - up til now, we’ve never repeated a flavor for our Membership. We’ve made 82 flavors since we launched our little business in the dead winter of 2009 (sidenote: great launch date for an ice cream startup, eh?). We’ve delivered pints of each flavor to the doors of our members every month. And, unless you’re friends of ours, you couldn’t get our ice cream otherwise. Starting this summer, we’re going to make some of our flavors more available. Not all of them, and not widely available. Six of them, at various spots around NYC (and maybe beyond!). To select these six, we’re asking our members for help. And, you know what, we want the help your help too. Help us select our most delicious, most popular, most “MilkMade” flavors by reblogging, tweeting, commenting, whatever-form-of-communication-you’d-prefer your top flavor selections. All of our 82+ flavors are listed above and further descriptions are here. We’ll choose one comment and send its author two free pints when we launch our Signature ‘Screams.

The making of ChurroStep 3: Source some awesome churros from Le Churro on the upper east side. Elena, the owner, was seriously the nicest. And the churros are really delicious - made right to order for you, so warm and doughy. Man! Ours are super crisp, hand-dipped in chocolate, and cut up into little pieces to throw in each pint.

The making of Maple Creemee
It’s been a cray busy week making these pints and getting them out the door. (Crafting this month’s flavors took foreeeever - more on why later.) We love to show you how we make the ‘scream, so here we go. Step 1: We start with the best Vermont maple syrup from family-run Morse Farm. Mmmm. Mappplllleeee. Tapping the maple trees has been in the Morse family since they helped settle Central Vermont. Wow! We discovered Morse Farm on a snowtrip earlier this year, nestled in Montpelier, VT. A highly recommended pit-stop - drop in for a Maple Cremee sometime!

Boom! March already. Here are our flavors of the month.
#81 Maple Creemeemaple ice cream with bits of coneIt’s sugarin’ time and the sap is flowing. Our pals at Morse Farm are tapping the trees and the maple creemee stands are coming out of hibernation. That’s the true sign of spring’s return. And we’re ready for it, celebrating it, with our rendition of the maple creemee. It’s simply a Grade A Dark Amber maple ice cream strewn with bits of the-best-cone-you’ve-ever-had from Ampersand Conery.
#82 Churrodulce de leche ice cream with chunks of churroDulce de leche, the candy of the milk. Who knew milk could make such a delicious candy? We didn’t, until we boiled a can of it and, woah, a caramel-like jam was produced. Just like that. Churro has been a flavor we’ve long wanted to create - but how, and with what churros, we wondered. Well, with a can of milk and a trip uptown to the new Le Churro, we figured it out. For our pints, we’re dulce’ing our own leche and tossing in mini churro chunks. Delicioso.
