Ube, sticky rice, and dulce de leche: Welcome to Wanderlust Creamery's sweet world Adrienne Borlongan jettisoned a career in nursing to explore ice cream production.

Catch us in COSTA MESA!

🍚 🥭 THIS SATURDAY IN COSTA MESA🍦✨

Sticky Rice & Mango ice cream — the flavor that catapulted Wanderlust Creamery to fame in 2015. We perfected it after experimenting with over 30 different recipes. It blends the key elements of the traditional Thai dessert: sweet rice, slightly salty coconut cream, and ripe Alphonso mango. Some are even shocked (after eating it for years) to learn it’s completely dairy free & vegan.

Learn the secrets to this famous ice cream flavor this Saturday at the Williams Sonoma in Costa Mesa (and next month at the Thousand Oals location). We will be making a batch live, serving up freshly spun scoops, and signing our cookbook which contains over 80 recipes of Wanderlust Creamery’s fan favorite flavors.

Tickets include a signed copy of the book 📖!

WE WROTE A COOKBOOK!!!

𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑰𝒄𝒆 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 is now available for preorder at the link below, and will officially be released June 4, 2024.

I’ll never forget, as a kid, picking up a random dusty old cookbook at a garage sale. It kickstarted my lifelong obsession with food — one that would span multiple phases and eventually lead me to creating ice cream flavors at Wanderlust Creamery. Every step and turn of that journey has brought me back, full circle, to where it all began: a cookbook…but this time, one that I wrote myself. (🤯😭)

In it, you’ll find the recipes to our most famous flavors like vegan Sticky Rice Mango, Ube Malted Crunch, and Japanese Neapolitan to discontinued cult favorites that customers beg us to bring back like Pretzel Rúgbrauð, Violet Marshmallow, and our viral White Rabbit ice cream. The book not only delves into the science of ice cream (for those interested), but it’s also packed with straightforward recipes and insider hacks we’ve picked up over ten years of making ice cream, so you can effortlessly replicate our flavors precisely in your own kitchen. And, as expected, it’s filled with whimsical and colorful ice cream imagery.

Huge thank-yous all around to everyone who contributed hours and days and sleepless nights to this project.

We’re slanging some limited edition seasonal flavors, not available in stores:

Corn Honey Butter Crunch
Guava Tres Leches

November season just dropped in stores! Important reminder: WHILE. SUPPLIES. LAST.

This year, we celebrated Filipino American History Month with some quintessential Filipino tings: food 🍦, community/connection, and togetherness. And as the month comes to a close, we’re reminded (perhaps needed more now than ever) — that despite our different cultures and diversity, we’re all still part of the same human family 🌏 — a concept us Filipinos call “kapwa”.

The last of Bretman Rock’s Da Fruity SaladⓋ ice cream is still available in stores today — proceeds of which will go to Golden G**s MNL, a Philippine non profit benefiting elderly LGBTQ.

Full disclosure: I’m not a peanut fan. Peanut butter cups? Pb&j’s? 🙍🏻‍♀️
Since opening Wanderlust Creamery, I’ve avoided THE dreaded question : “When are you going to make a Choc*Nut flavor?!?” (or any 🥜 flavor for that matter).

How do we make an ice cream to pay homage to this peanut - chocolate candy every Filipino American seems to love so much (except me 😬)? We concocted this ultra milky chocolate-peanut ice cream, made with fellow 🇵🇭🇺🇸 brand peanut butter and a peanut-cacao polvoron reminiscent of chocnut itself, but upgraded with buttery, caramelized complexity.

You can find this “Mani Milk Tsokolate” ice cream in stores alongside this month’s other seasonals like Brown Butter Sans Rival, Sapin-Sapin, Wanderlust Halo Halo, Green Mango, and ’s Da Fruity Salad Ⓥ in stores this month while supplies last.

This month’s Green Mango Sorbet is the antithesis of Western standards for fruit desserts (sweet, made with height-of-season fruit). Instead, it’s unripe and sharply sour to the point of questioning its existence in an ice cream case — let alone a dessert place. The only sweet thing about it: it reminds us of growing up in a 🇵🇭 immigrant home, where everything seemed the opposite of what was “normal” in America, but eventually coming to cherish these rarities that make our upbringing special.

Available in scoop shops for October while supplies last.

p.s. BYOB… Bring your own bagoong.

Dropping Now: FAHM Flavor Pack!

🥭 🥥 🍒 “Da Fruity Salad” 🍑 🍒 🍍 endearingly named our collab flavor (an ice cream version of the Filipino dessert of his childhood) as an ode to both LGBTQ & Filipino pride, and the courage to be your most authentic self — the very thing that makes him Da Baddest. It’s dairy free cream studded with coconut sport, cubes of jackfruit sherbet, pandan & pineapple jellies, maraschino cherries, pearls of peach sorbet, and swirls of Philippine mango jam. Available in stores through October (Filipino American History Month)!

Proceeds from this flavor go to , a Philippine non-profit organization that provides support and
care facilities for elderly LGBTQ people without families.

Cue all the “where’s the pumpkin 🎃?!”

Every October, we dedicate the seasonal menu to our roots and things we loved growing up Filipino in America.
Available in our stores now throughout October *while supplies last*!

Stay tuned for this month’s online pint drop (for nationwide shipping 📦). Link in bio to be the first to know via our mailing list.

Prickly Pear Aloe Sorbet 🇲🇽 over a scoop of Suspiro de Limeña 🇵🇪 (caramelized milk ice cream swirled with port & cinnamon spiked meringue) is reminiscent of a classic Oaxacan dessert, “Leche Quemada con Tuna” - prickly pear sorbet with burnt milk ice cream. It’s the perfect way to both celebrate Mexican Independence Day and kick off Latino Heritage Month 🪅
