Balsamic Roasted Strawberry Sherbet

In this sherbet, the balsamic and strawberries are up front and center on the initial taste but it finishes with the tang of buttermilk.

Bi-Rite Creamery's Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Bi-Rite Creamery's Smooth and Mellow Chocolate Ice Cream

This may be the best version of a milk chocolate ice cream that I've ever had. It's definitely chocolate-forward, and plenty rich, but it really lets the milkiness of lower cocoa chocolates shine. Should you want to branch out to peanut butter chocolate swirls, rocky roads, or chocolate brownie chunk ice creams, this should be your base.

The Best Strawberry Ice Cream

Even at the best ice cream shops, strawberry ice cream is usually the iciest flavor of the lot, and it often doesn't taste anything like fresh, sweet strawberries. This ice cream nails that fresh berry flavor without compromising on a rich, creamy texture.

Strawberry Ice Cream (No Churn)

A creamy, no churn Strawberry Ice Cream with real strawberry flavour that money can't buy! Creamy, scoopable, no ice crystals at all, no ice cream maker required!

Strawberry Dream Pie Ice Cream

The goat cheese base for this ice cream is flexible enough for a range of fruits and other flavors. Want to use blueberries instead? This base is lemony enough for them. Prefer brownie chunks with a swirl of dulce de leche? Goat cheese is savory enough to counteract the sweetness. But it's pretty awesome with strawberries, as used here.

Bi-Rite Creamery's Cara Cara Orange Cardamom Ice Cream

This ice cream is full of flavor and subtle all at once. Steeping cardamom pods in cream brings out all their layers of flavor, which are heightened by the citrus and bitter notes of the orange zest.

Blackberry Ice Cream

This eggless ice cream puts summer blackberries center stage, without any hint of custard to distract from their tart, jammy flavor. A tiny pinch of ground cinnamon highlights their natural aroma without any overt spiciness, while a squeeze of fresh lemon juice helps cut through the richness of cream.

Cherry Ice Cream

Without any egg yolks to get in the way, this ice cream tastes like pure cherry and nothing more—although if you'd like a hint of smoke try throwing the cherries on a hot grill until wilted and soft.

Scooped: Rosemary, Olive Oil, and Pine Honey Ice Cream

Oil doesn't hit you over the head in this ice cream—that's the rosemary's job. Its alpine punch recedes as the ice cream melts on the tongue, giving way to the sweet, resinous honey.
