Our Process
Each batch of Clumpies ice cream is made by hand with only the finest ingredients that can be found. From our ice cream mix that we pasteurize ourselves from fresh milk and cream to our house made cookies, cakes, chunks, jams and sauces that we swirl into our ice cream, we always strive to make the best ice cream around. We churn our ice cream in small batches, ten gallons or less at a time. That micro-batch process allows us to care for and consider each scoop of ice cream that we serve.
The result is a rich, creamy, delicious ice cream crafted with care. It may take longer, but we think it makes our ice cream that much better.
