At Ample Hills Creamery, we handcraft our ice cream in small batches using fresh, local, all-natural milk, cream and eggs. In fact, our dairy and eggs are so fresh, they were inside hormone-free, grass-fed, happy cows and chickens just a few days before we churned them into ice cream!

Chalkboard

  • The kitchen at Ample Hills is always shufflin’. Shown here, making homemade honeycomb candy, crushin up malt balls and separating fresh eggs for the ice cream.

    You can watch it all the kitchen action through the window in le shoppe.

    Or, y’know, just eat some super tasty homemade ice cream :)

  • Have you tried our latest creation? Kettle corn infused ice cream with roasted peanuts and swirls of homemade salted fudge caramel, called Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

    Inspired by ABC Kitchen’s awesome salted caramel popcorn sundae (and a post left by a fan on our ice cream corkboard in the shop). Play Ball!

  • When we have time, we put a little personal touch into the messages requested to go with our custom ordered ice cream cakes. These cute cake banners are hand drawn by our talented Amployee, Lauren. Say hi to her when you’re in the shop! (She’s the one surrounded by crayons and markers)

    Ya’ll are gonna go bananas for this one…

  • New! ice cream made w/ Sweet Action beer & maple bacon covered peanuts from. Sweet, bitter, smokey, salty, all in one. http://pic.twitter.com/a7A0GIl5

  • ntroducing ”A Night in Morocco” – sweet cream and fresh mint leaf ice cream with ribbons of home-made black mission fig jam.

    The first entry in our international flavor of the month, suggested by fan Jennifer Deluca Ajami, picked from over 50 really tasty sounding entries.

    We’ll be creating a new flavor from a different country every month for the next year!

  • NBC’s New York Live stopped by this morning to talk to Brian and film about our Salted Crack Caramel ice cream. Watch for it tomorrow on channel 4 from 3-4pm!

  • The winning country for the first month in our international flavor contest is … MOROCCO. For this flavor we’ll be making a sweet cream ice cream with fresh mint and swirls of fig paste. Sounds so good.

    We will be debuting this Moroccan inspired ice cream flavor in later next week.

  • New flavor! Introducing ”April Showers”: A twist on our most popular flavor Salted Crack Caramel, it’s a salted caramel ice cream with chocolate covered cherry blossoms from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
    Due to the early warm weather, the BBG has a plethora of excess cherry blossoms that we hand picked fresh at the height of bloom and dipped in 72% E. Guittard dark chocolate.
    100% local and organic, the salt in the salted caramel is mined from the tears of hipsters listening to the latest Snowmine album (which I shouldn’t even be listing here because they might get too big).
    We work in small batch artisanal but this is uber small batch, available today only!

  • Our Peppermint Pattie is one of ”The 2012 Best Things to Eat in New York” – ”I have a weakness for mint chip as well as dark chocolate ice cream, and the fact that they put both of these together makes this a must-have, especially for Brooklynites! They use local milk in this all-natural ice cream mixed with homemade Peppermint Patties, plus 20 other great flavors!”
