Icecream Journal

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!
