CUSTOM MADE ICE CREAM? YOU BET!

Have you ever had a craving for Cotton Candy Habanero ice cream with cheddar cheese bits? How ‘bout Saffron Stout ice cream with a caramel swirl? Maybe not, but with the e-Creamery, you can make those flavors and many other custom concoctions and have them sent directly to your home!

We should tell you right from the get go that custom made ice cream isn’t cheap. A half gallon (shipped in four pint-sized containers) costs $49.99 plus $30 shipping and handling. At that price, you’re probably better off with some Turkey Hill at the grocery store, but e-Creamery does let you name your flavor and choose from three different styles of packaging.

The e-Creamery process allows you to choose your base ice cream base (8%, 12% or 14%) before moving on to your choice of two different flavors. Options include traditional varieties like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Not-so-traditional flavors like lemon, blueberry and honey. And unusual flavors like the aforementioned habanero, stout, chocolate merlot (infused with wine), lavender and ginger.

Then the fun begins. Next, you select your mix-ins (60 to choose from). You can go with almonds, chocolate-covered raisins or granola, but for $79.99, you might as well get a little crazy, right? In that case, try the candied ginger, cheddar cheese pieces, hickory smoked bacon, parmesan cheese or dill weed (yes, dill weed). We’re not sure if some of those would taste good in ice cream, but it’s worth a shot!

    Hi Turkey Hill, You have the best and you do have different kind of ice cream….so I am stay with turkey hill ice cream. You wanted differnt kind of ice cream…buy turkey hill ice cream and add in your own stuff. Turkey hill has the base you add the rest of the ingrediet to it. I make my own wine/rum ice cream. I buy turkey hill vanilla ice cream and add my own sweet wine to the vanilla.

  7. Susan C says:

    I’ll stick with Turkey Hill

  8. Anne says:

    How much Turkey Hill could I get for $80?
    I will stay with you guys, ’cause you ROCK!!!!

  9. bill says:

    they don’t even sound good. turkey hill rocks.

  10. julie says:

    Sure- it’s a steep price- but what a cool gift for an expectant mother! Some soon-to-be dads could score a lot of points….as long as they are already in the upper income level anyway.

  11. Norma says:

    Pay so much to gag? For far less you can do a lot better with Turkey Hill.

  12. zzzzz219@yahoo.com says:

    Turkey Hill….we have an ice cream sundae night at our house and my kids LOVE your ice cream!

  13. Jeff says:

    A little too pricey for me.

  14. John Ockomon says:

    I scream for ice cream,. Turkey Hill Ice cream!

  15. Erma Price says:

    Turkeky Hill Ice Cream is the “All Ameican Desert”. It makes a hot summer day enjoyable.

  16. Erma Price says:

    Turkey Hill is the best you can buy! YUM!!!

  17. Amy Gober says:

    Lemon-Ginger sounds awfully good but not for that price!

  18. Lindsay says:

    With Turkey Hill Extreme Cookies and Cream, who needs anything else?

  19. Patty says:

    I wouldn’t pay that much for ice cream regardless of what’s in it. I don’t have to though thanks to Turkey Hill.
    Don’t ever stop making the “Worlds Most Amazing” ice cream!

  20. Diane K says:

    We do our own mix-ins at home for much less. Turkey Hill has so many flavors, we can add whatever we want to whatever flavor we want.

  21. Ethan L says:

    I would try any flavor once. I suppose it depends on your food orientation. For me Ice Cream is an experience and Turkey Hill is a Zen Meditation Center. That being said I would love to see Vanilla with soy chips, topped with a rich chocolate shell. any takers?

  22. Mary says:

    Think of all the regular flavors you could buy for seventy some dollars…what a party! I think I’ll stick to regular TH.

  23. Mary McKenna says:

    I guess I’m really old fashioned but I’ll stick to peaches, strawberries and cherries.

  24. Mary McKenna says:

    I guess I am old fashioned because I enjoy pieces strawberries, cherries and peaches in my ice cream more than the new products.

  25. L Crosby says:

    I love Moose Tracks and even better that it’s in a “light” version.te

  26. Chris Taylor says:

    An great outlet for creative minds that need a chilling treat. Some of the combinations sound strange; but why am I salivating?

  27. mary says:

    I like the old , simple flavors.I try some new ones, but Ilove the old ones

  28. Robbin L. Netz says:

    What is stout? How long has this “deviation from the normal” company been in business? How much ice cream do they sell in a year? Since $79.99 buys a lot of Turkey Hill, why would I deviate from perfection for a lot less quantity?

  29. lee carr says:

    after checking out the link you gave us for these special flavors, I will pass and keep buying my favorite turkey hill flavors. ice cream is always something that can be topped, no need to go crazy.

  30. Sarah says:

    They can keep their designer ice creams. I’m completely satisfied with the delicious variety of Turkey Hill.

  31. Kat says:

    A really cool idea! No pun intended :) . At this price it would make a heck of a gift for someone or a real treat for yourself. To make all sorts of concoctions though, I usually stick to buying plain old vanilla and dress it up with whatever topping I crave when I just gotta have some ice cream.

  32. linda depeano says:

    some of the flavors dont look like something i would be interested in i think i will stick to my family’s and mine all time favorite turkey hill ice cream, i guess if i had extra money i might try them but i dont so i pass!!

  33. Ellen says:

    If you have $79.99 why not go crazy. I’m going to stick with Turkey Hill and flavors I enjoy.

  34. Charlie says:

    For that price,I’ll buy a cow and make my own ice cream,from scratch.

  35. Bob Kessler Jr says:

    I am adventurous but eating designer ice cream has set my limit. It doesn’t even sound appetizing. Ice cream is a dessert but this e-Creamery has made it into almost a meal. I’ll take my money and spend it on Turkey Hill ice cream. I know and love the taste.

  36. Marisa says:

    Mmm Chocolate Merlot and Ginger… Now I’m curious. But I think I’d make my ice cream with coffee ice cream first, and throw in all the goodies. Mmmhm.

  37. Lisa Stockton says:

    Turkey Hill’s many flavors have always been sufficient in fulfilling my tastes or cravings! No need for the strange stuff…!

  38. Bridget says:

    If you want to make your own ice cream that badly just go to ColdStone. You don’t have to wait for it to be delivered and you won’t pay astronomical prices. Personally I’ll take a carton of Turkey Hill over that e-junk anyday!

  39. Bert says:

    I rather like my gray poupon ice cream. It’s only $25.00 a pint.

  40. Janet says:

    I think I will just stick with all the flavors that Turkey Hill has now. The price on gourmet is a too much for me.

  41. Frank says:

    Dill weed? Can we blame it on the al, al al al al alcohol?

  42. Dara Woolley says:

    We love Turkey Hill. I have 6 half gallon ice cream in my freezer…We cant get enough…we would go for on an ice cream run if we ran out.. I have three kidds (boys) and a husband..they think it is the best will not eat anything else…..

  43. Susan R says:

    Only people with too much money and ones that are trying to show off would buy something like this. I’m proud I eat Turkey Hill!!

  44. Ellen says:

    I like all of TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM and DRINKS Can’t go wrong if you stick to TURKEY HILL.Thanks for great ice cream Fudge Ripple is the Best.

  45. Joyce Andersen says:

    I think it is a unique gift idea for the person who has everything and about to celebrate a big event. Having many friends who LOVE ice cream turning 60 or 70 this year, what fun it would be to get personalized ice cream to mark the date!

  46. Michelle says:

    I absolutely love Turkey Hill’s Rocky Road ice cream and unfortunately haven’t been able to find it in local stores in the last year and half or so. What’s up with that????
    I also would love to have cash to burn to have my own creations sent to me in the mail, but alas, I’m broke. It’s alright though, as long as you bring my Rock Road ice cream back to me!!

  47. Tamika says:

    I Love T.Hill Coffee Ice Cream…It’s so smooth and creamy. I would love to learn how to make ice cream at home for my family.

  48. Mary Gropp says:

    My heart belongs to Turkey Hill–habanero or NOT!

  49. Julie says:

    It’s a great idea for someone having some big birthday or event, but for everyday I can be verrrry happy with regular Turkey Hill flavors!!

  50. Joan says:

    It appears to me that some people just don’t know how to spend their money. Do you know how much Turkey Hill that you could purchase instead??? Most of those add-ins don’t sound very appealing for ice cream. I think TH has the right idea because they come up with flavors that sound and taste good.

  51. don says:

    I think it’s a great idea for flavors like these! I saw an ice cream shop that has flavors like honey-lavender,jalapeno,and merlot,and would love to try them!

  52. Carol K. says:

    Turkey Hill is the best. Can’t ‘e-magine’ ordering from e-creamery! With so many choices offered by Turkey Hill and their ever-changing new flavors, what more could one concoct?!!

  53. don says:

    I think it’s a great idea!I saw some of those flavors on Diners,Drive-Ins and Dives on Food Network,and wanted to try them,especially the Honey-Lavender ice cream!

  54. Lisa says:

    The adult favorite in our house is Turkey Hill COFFEE!!! I love it so much that I stoke up on it when there’s a sale (we’ve had up to 4 gal in our freezer) and when I’m out, I’ve even whipped real coffee into their softened vanilla to fix my craving! It’s the best!

  55. Winifred Gabriel says:

    My husband loves your raspberry (that has no chocolate pcs) the best of all.

  56. Margaret M says:

    I would never spend that much on ice cream, especially when I can get Turkey Hill for a lot less and I am completely satisfied with that. With all the different flavors TH makes you can always try something new or just stick with your favorite flavor.

  57. GES says:

    …At least its a FULL half gallon!!!

  58. Linda Leffler says:

    Why would anyone spend that much money on weird flavors of ice cream, when they can have the great flavors that Turkey Hill makes. I stick with Turkey Hill. Linda

  59. Dianne says:

    I could buy a lot more of the ready made flavors of turkey hill ice cream that I like

  60. Melissa K. says:

    So cool!! little price. can home ice cream makers do that?

  61. Melissa K. says:

    pricey i meant

  62. Mary says:

    What a great idea!

  63. Tina says:

    I LOVE the party cake ice cream!!ITS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

  64. Pat says:

    Sounds like something special for a real special occasion. :)

  65. Emilia says:

    I’d love the honey or another flavor like green tea. Sound like some new ideas for Turkey Hill?

  66. Geoff says:

    I love ice cream (and it probably is a large part of my budget, as is) but these prices are a bit much.

  67. alisa brozena says:

    Can’t wait!!!

  68. alisa brozena says:

    What a great idea!

  69. Marion says:

    I like my ice cream flavors normal and straight-up!

  70. Can says:

    Wow. What a fun birthday present to a special child.

  71. Susan says:

    I’m not so sure about habanero ice cream ewwww and bacon?!?!in ice cream how about french fries :)

  72. Toni W. says:

    Thank You for keeping me informed!!!!

  73. Jess says:

    Wow, that’s a great idea but I wish there were some way to make it more cost effective. Lol, some of those mix-ins sound awful and fascinating at the same time. I’d like to try a kind of Asian blend, honey flavoured ice cream with candied ginger and almonds – a bit like a stir fry but more unique. Could be yummy! :-)

  74. Deborah says:

    Sounds delic but way too expensive for my taste.

  75. nicole says:

    Just a thought: They should come in “keep sake” containers so they can be given as gifts.

  76. Kristine says:

    Those would make really “cool” shower favors if they were cheaper (a lot cheaper!). We had an ice cream bar at our wedding (a Turkey Hill cart) and these would’ve been neat!

  77. Marian says:

    I love turkey hill ice cream , don’t change a thing .

  78. Tara Sangrey says:

    I love it, what a fun and creative idea!

  79. Donna says:

    It might be alright for some folks, but I wouldn’t want to pay the price. Everything is expensive enough and we wouldn’t buy ice cream at all at that price.

  80. amy says:

    Why on earth would I pay that kind of money when Turkey Hill makes the best ice cream in the world? I could live on their Chocolate Peanutbutter…..yum!

  81. Paula says:

    I would like to try a combination of candied ginger and walnuts.

  82. Lucille White says:

    I really enjoy Turkey Hill products I am very greatful that you could send all of us who want your products by e-mail and let us kmow when there are new products on here.

    Thank you
    so very much
    Lucille White

  83. alicelynne says:

    Some people will go to great lengths for great ice cream…but we know a little secret!!

  84. Pamela Lewis says:

    Ah, I came home from Spain determined to recreate some pink peppercorn ice cream and ended up with a pretty spectacular failure. For this price, I’m betting these folks would get it just right.

  85. Carol Triano says:

    Whoa, totally out of my price range, but I hope you can please another Turkey Hill customer.

  86. Mary Brackney says:

    Not only do I love your ice cream but I also love your ice tes. I wish I could get your Ice cream cakes.

  87. joe lentes says:

    wen i get back from the store each week the first thing my wife says, did you get my half gallon butter pecan ice cream. i always say of course i never forget that.p.s. i love choc. marsh mellow, i get that too.

  88. Sharon says:

    All I know is before I “start” every diet i have to run to the store to get my fill of Turkey Hill Peanut Butter Cup. OMG !!!!!!!

  89. nata says:

    what a awesome idea! if u have extra money to spend

  90. Edina says:

    Way too expensive… Try a Banana Split and you will forget about the cheese and dill-weed ice-cream. There is only one thing left to achieve for Turkey Hill: try to keep the flavour and combine it with max 10 calories (per box). I guess we would finally get into heaven without dying and you would get a Nobel Prize…

  91. Terri says:

    This is a cool idea for a gift for the person who has everything! I like it!

  92. Linda K says:

    Our household LOVES and lives on Moose tracks Light. Yum!

  93. Sandra E. says:

    As a chef I have made some interesting flavors over the years but it is always a wonderful treat when someone else makes the flavors I crave and the best is Turkey Hill!

  94. Margot I love Ice Cream says:

    What a great idea! My fiance and I have a custom guitar company, and we’re so inspired by your company, and glad to learn that you supply custom ice cream!

  95. Louise says:

    Delighted, peach ice cream. Yum!!!

  96. Janet Smith says:

    At least if I spent that much money on custom ice cream, maybe I would only eat a tablespoonfull at a time to make it last longer.

  97. kathy w says:

    i just tried your peanut butter brownie, man is that GOOD. i love it, please keep it coming, it is out standing

  98. kathy w says:

    i love every kind of ice cream you have out. jut keep them coming
