Ice Cream Flavors in Stores for Friday, August 1, 2025

Brown butter is a French cooking technique that imparts a nutty flavor to regular butter. Brown sugar is a sugar with a high molasses content. Brownies are pieces of chocolate cake. We were originally trying to create a flavor called C4 (an explosive in a lot of action movies), but we ended up with B3 instead.

Banana ice cream with vanilla nilla wafers.

Belgian Chocolate is our most popular chocolate flavor, and we make more than a few chocolate ice creams. Belgian Chocolate is made with Callebaut chocolate from Belgium and is close to a milk chocolate in taste and texture.

We take blackberries and fluff marshmallow and blend them together.

Burnt Caramel was an accident redeemed by the visit of a neighboring chef in search of Heavy Cream. Late one night at 899 Main Street Adam Simha and Gus were making ice cream and discussing important issues, as ice cream makers do late at night. We were making caramel ice cream when we realized that we had “burned” the caramel. While bemoaning our inattentiveness Bruce Frankel walked over from his famous and long-missed restaurant, 798 Main Street. Bruce was in search of Heavy Cream but when he heard us criticizing our inattention and stupidity he said, “Don’t worry, Just Call it Burned Caramel. It's a popular flavor from Spain.” And we did, since we knew who to pay attention to when advice was being offered.

Cardamom ice cream with fig spread.

Chocolate Chip is a favorite flavor. Going back to Steve’s Ice Cream in Davis Square where we had lots of chips mixed in the ice cream before adding a ladle of fudge. Years before that Chocolate Chip was one of the first “unusual” flavors that Gus encountered, while visiting relatives in the Merrimack Valley. Growing up in NYC there was no Chocolate Chip. Just Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry and the three together in what was called Neapolitan.

Dark roast coffee flavor

Cookie Dough is a triumph of American food technology and perhaps an example of the ambiguous nature of such triumphs. Remember all those cautions about eating raw or unbaked cookie dough? When I first heard about the flavor I thought it was impossible, but it endures as a popular flavor. I don’t think many of our younger customers ever heard anyone warn them about the “dangers” of unbaked cookie dough.

Cookies & Cream is made with those chocolate cookies sandwiched around vanilla cream. Usually dipped in milk, but we have short-circuited that ritual.

Also called a 50/50 bar in some parts of the U.S., the Creamsicle is a nostalgic favorite for many. This ice cream is flavored with orange juice and vanilla.

Creme fraiche is richer than sour cream!

Earl Grey is another tea flavor that contains Bergamot, a citrus. Earl Grey and Green Tea are usually next each other in our dipping cabinet and pair well with each other.

Peanut butter & marshmallow base ice cream with crushed nutter butter cookies

Vanilla with an egg custard

Green Tea is made with Matcha tea and is a wonderfully accessible flavor. Accessible in the sense that people who don’t know what Matcha is, or expect to like it, usually do.

Kulfi is our second most popular flavor. Its success perfectly illustrates how quickly American foodways can change and have changed. Kulfi means “frozen dessert” in Hindi. Our basic Kulfi has a background of cardamom and a mixture of roasted almonds and pistachio nuts.

Very sweet vanilla, aka cake batter.

Milo Godzilla is a drink from Singapore, made with sweetened condensed milk and then frozen into a popular ice cream with an irresistible name.

Mint Chip an easy variation, and probably inspired by candy bars and small candies.

A blend of our Belgian Chocolate and coffee flavors

Coffee ice cream with a touch of cocoa, Kahlua and malt barley syrup.

Chocolate and hazelnut

Just plain creamy peanut butter!

Rum soaked raisin in rum base ice cream.

Burnt Caramel was for many years our most popular flavor and we decided on a variant called Salty Caramel. Lighter in color it still has that edge.

Just cream

Refreshing grapefruit in a sorbet!

Mango Sorbet is a flavor we almost always have and popular with almost everyone including people from the islands, and South Asians.
