Experience a unique and distinct flavor with November's Goat Cheese and Blackberries ice cream. This velvety concoction blends the tangy richness of goat cheese procured from Donnay Dairy in Kimball, MN, with the sweet, tart and earthy essence of fresh blackberries.
The outcome is a well-balanced fusion of tastes that will excite your palate and leave you yearning for more. Ideal for cheesecake lovers and those who aren't afraid of a little adventure. Every bite is a celebration of regional, top-tier ingredients and the art of flavor creation!
November delights have arrived, and they are absolutely delicious!
Goat Cheese and Blackberries - Crafted with premium goat cheese sourced from local artisan Donnay Dairy in Kimball, MN, this ice cream is creamy with a subtle tang reminiscent of cheesecake. It's complemented by a swirl of blackberry compote, adding a burst of bright, earthy flavor to the indulgent base. GLUTEN-FREE | CONTAINS MILK, EGGS
Horchata - This flavor captures the essence of the traditional smooth and sweet drink made with cinnamon, rice, and almonds, and served warm or chilled. Jasmine rice and ground almonds infuse it with a signature sweetness and depth, though the rice and nuts are removed for a silky, sweet creaminess. Perfect for topping off a pie! GLUTEN-FREE | CONTAINS ALMONDS, MILK, EGGS
Vanilla Cardamom - Featuring a delicate and intricate blend of floral and sweet elements from vanilla and cardamom, this ice cream is ideal for enjoying with pie or straight from the pint. Its fragrant combination is perfect as the season turns cooler. GLUTEN-FREE | CONTAINS MILK, EGGS
Burnt Honey - The caramelization of MN honey unveils a rich, layered complexity to its sweet, caramel flavor. Whether or not you've been scorned by a lover or burnt by your honey, this flavor is a must-try! GLUTEN-FREE | CONTAINS MILK, EGGS

Sweet Corn Blueberry - it’s been a flavor since I launched the company at my first tasting in a friend’s back yard (thirteen years ago!).
Since both are in season together I thought, why not try them and see if they work together? Mother Nature is a smart cookie.
We use fresh local, MN sweet corn for the base and strain out all the corn. We all know what frozen corn tastes like and who wants that!? We cook up some blueberry jam and also strain that for a magical smooth compliment to the corn. The end result is surprising and amazing and one of our seasonals that has the hugest cult-like following. Don’t dawdle because it’s only here for the month of August.
Have you tried it? 🫐 🌽🫐
August Flavor Launch Friday is here!
Sweet Corn Blueberry - We infuse local sweet corn into local milk and cream, and swirl it with a smooth blueberry compote. This flavor has a cult-like following for a reason! GLUTEN-FREE
White Chocolate Raspberry - Luxuriously smooth white chocolate ice cream swirled with scratch-made raspberry compote. Yay for berry season! GLUTEN-FREE
Passion Fruit - We've created a perfectly tart, perfectly creamy union. Passion fruit is such bright flavor and pairs perfectly with white chocolate raspberry. GLUTEN-FREE
Summer Strawberry Sorbet - A creamy and tart strawberry sorbet that perfectly embodies summer, with a hint of vanilla on the finish. A refreshing seasonal favorite. GLUTEN-FREE | VEGAN

We were recently recognized by the city of Edina for our efforts in reducing waste and today we were delighted to welcome a small group of leaders from Edina and Hennepin County as well as a couple of MN elected officials.
We were asked to give a brief overview and tour of our Edina scoop shop to this group to share our practices and efforts with regard to recycling, reusing and composting.
US Representative Ilhan Omar and MN House Majority Leader, Jamie Long enjoyed an ice cream cone and talked with Retail Manager, Amanda.
Thank you so much to all who visited!
Yay! We will be back to scooping and restocking our retail freezer with pints and goodies throughout the day tomorrow. See you at noon!

Three amazing ice creams and one brand new sorbet to keep you cool all month long!

Peach Cobbler - Organic peach compote swirled through vanilla ice cream with lots of gluten-free streusel. The peach compote is made with white balsamic peach vinegar from Vinaigrette (at 50th and Xerxes), it balances out the sweetness and gives the peach SO much depth of flavor.
