Paradise.....one scoop at a time!

Nice of you to stop by. Patty and I make homemade ice cream and sorbets here in the lovely Champlain Islands of Vermont.

After running a successful snackbar that focused on freshness and quality products, we were continually disappointed by the lack of freshness and flavor variety of the hard ice cream we were serving. The ice cream was a good product, but we were last on the delivery route and the ice cream was often in poor condition when it finally reached our freezers. To achieve what we felt was the best, most varied and freshest ice cream around, we knew that homemade (right here in the shop) was the solution. Cheered on by our friends and customers, we took the plunge.
With a Penn State Ice Cream course under our belts combined with a weeks' worth of working with a national award winning ice cream maker and a course taught by the manufacturer of our batch freezer, we headed off into the sunset....

 Ice Cream Makes You Happy!

WHAT'S IN OUR ICE CREAM?

Cream and Milk - these ingredients make up 70% of the ice cream and comes from New England Dairy Farmers.

Sugars - we use a combination of cane sugar, beet sugar and corn syrup. The combination of sugars keeps the product smooth without making the ice cream too sweet or "icy".

Egg Yolks - We use egg yolks (pasteurized, of course).

Carob Bean Gum, Locust Bean Gum and Carrageenan - These ingredients are all stabilizers from natural plants and seaweed. They comprise less than 1/3 of 1% of the ice cream, so they do not affect the taste. They are necessary to keep the ice cream from breaking down while in transit and on the shelf to keep it as fresh as possible!

WHAT'S IN OUR SORBETS?

All our sorbets are 100% natural ingredients. We use only fruit, fruit juices, fruit purees, sugars, natural extracts, natural stabilizers, and water.

HOW ABOUT SHERBET?

Us Vermonters want to spell it Sherbert, but alas it has only one "r". Sherbet is a mixture of fruit juice and about 10% milk to provide a creamy texture. We use real fruit juice, not flavorings. Our Orange Sherbet tastes like a fresh squeezed orange!
