THE ULTIMATE ICE CREAM GIFT LIST
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
Only nine shopping days til Christmas. So much for “getting it all done in November.”
But don’t worry. Operating under the assumption that pretty much everybody loves ice cream, we’ve assembled the top ice cream-related gifts for this holiday season. Hopefully you’ll find something here for everyone on your shopping list.
THE SPAGHETTI ICE CREAM MAKER – Any machine that makes delicious ice cream look like delicious pasta is okay by us.
L.L. BEAN ICE CREAM BALL – We love this thing (that’s it on the right) because it allows you to make ice cream right in your own living room. We’ve ordered one for ourselves and will write more about it—including pictures of our staff putting it to the test—in a few months.
CURIOUS GEORGE GOES TO AN ICE CREAM SHOP – The synopsis says it all: “Curious George makes a messy mistake while visiting a new ice cream shop, but he redeems himself by attracting customers when he puts together a big sundae in the window.” Maybe it’s just us, but the great thing about Curious George books is that they’re just as fun to read when you’re grown up as they were when you were a kid.
ICE CREAM TOPPING GIFT BOX – Includes four flavors of toppings (including raspberry-fudge and caramel-pecan) and it comes in its own box wrapped with a bow.
KITCHENAID ICE CREAM SPADE – As Ernie would tell you, an ice cream scoop is fine, but an ice cream spade is better. Scoops tend to compress the ice cream and squeeze the air out of it, which can affect the texture while spades treat ice cream with the respect it deserves. Who are we to argue?
FREEZE-DRIED ICE CREAM – Not as good as the real thing, but it’s just like the astronauts eat. Need we say more?
PERSONALIZED ICE CREAM BOWL – With your name on the bowl, no one has an excuse for stealing some of your ice cream while you’re out the room.
TUITION TO PENN STATE’S “ICE CREAM 101” COURSE – For the pros, Penn State offers an advanced course in ice cream making, but this two-day course is open to ice cream lovers everywhere and combines classroom instruction with “hands-on exercises.” Tuition is $550, but hurry, space is limited and classes start January 27.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

That ball looks like a hamster toy!!
January 2nd, 2007 at 3:57 pmThe spade looks neat - I had no idea the scoop affects the flavor! The spade would also make it easier to dig into very hard frozen ice cream.
The ice cream ball is awesome and works really well — get it for anyone that loves gadgets or being outdoors!! we have one and love it

December 19th, 2006 at 2:56 pmNow THAT would be the ultimate stocking stuffer. What if we get you off on the right foot with a gift of notebooks, pens and a spoon? We’ll even throw in a frame for your diploma.
