Welcome to Gerly’s Ice Cream Making Workshop!
Let’s make ice cream the real way. In today’s world of artificial flavors and mystery ingredients, this hands-on class brings it back to basics—using fresh, real ingredients to create ice cream from scratch.
Gerly’s Ice Cream Workshop is a flavorful, feel-good experience where you’ll not only learn how to make your own ice cream but also explore the rich history of this timeless treat. We’ll introduce you to two traditional techniques:
- Philadelphia-style (made without eggs – lighter and faster to churn)
- French-style (made with eggs – richer and custard-like)
Then, you'll dive in and handcraft two pints of your own custom ice cream.
Here’s what’s included:
- Guided instruction from a workshop instructor
- Sampling of both Philadelphia and French-style ice creams
- A complimentary four-scoop flight of Gerly’s Ice Cream
- A complimentary beverage (soda, water, lemonade, or apple juice)
- Two pints of your own custom-made ice cream flavors
- Unlimited toppings, including: Chocolate chips, Rainbow sprinkles, Chocolate sprinkles, Cannoli pieces, Graham cracker crust, Caramel, and Chocolate syrup.
- Recipe card to recreate your flavor at home
- All necessary equipment provided
All ingredients are nut-free and sesame-free, and you can choose to make your ice cream with or without eggs, and with dairy or oat milk.
