It’s warming up outside, but as always, Clumpies Ice Cream Co. is keeping it cool. Our spring scoops are here with eight classics, and two brand new flavors, one of which was dreamed up and developed by students at The Howard School.  These seasonal offerings give us a chance to get creative, re-introduce loved flavors, and find the best tastes to capture the season. Like always, each flavor is handcrafted in small batches right here in Chattanooga, only nine gallons at a time.  

Since Featured Flavors are available only for a limited time, once they’re gone, you’ll have to wait until next year to sample them again (and hope that your favorite is selected because they do change!), but don’t worry – our Classic Flavors aren’t going anywhere. You’ll always be able to find your tried-and-true favorites right alongside seasonal scoops. We love rotating flavors to try out new ideas, highlight seasonal ingredients, and keep things exciting for ice cream lovers near and far. 

These flavors are available now at all Clumpies scoop shops – Northshore, Southside, St. Elmo and are available for purchase online. 

Our Spring Lineup 

Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake makes its Clumpies debut along with the return of Banana Puddin’, Blueberry Lookout Lavender, Carrot Cake, Dairy Free Coconut Macaroon, Honeycomb, Lucky Charm, Ooey Gooey and Orange Cream. Our specialty flavor created by The Howard School is still in development and we look forward to releasing that one soon. Check back for updates! 

New! Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake

Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake is a cream cheese ice cream, infused with tart lemony flavor, with swirls of blueberry sauce and pockets of toasted gingersnap crumb. 

We take our sweet cream ice cream recipe, and then we add a TON (roughly 2 lbs. per ice cream tub) of softened cream cheese directly into the pasteurizer. The finished product is a tangy, sweet, cream cheese ice cream. 

Next, we add blueberry sauce, made from cooking blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice and zest until a thick, jammy consistency forms. Finally, the flavor is topped off with gingersnap crumb, a tingly mixture of ginger, cinnamon, brown sugar and molasses.

Banana Puddin’

Banana Puddin’ is a sweet cream ice cream with swirls of ripe banana pudding and clusters of our Nilla Wafer Crunch. 

We start by taking a large quantity of overripe bananas when they’re at peak sweetness, and we turn them into a light, creamy, delectable house-made banana pudding that’s layered throughout the ice cream. Our house-made Nilla Wafer Crunch is then sprinkled in, adding a combination of Vanilla Wafers, butter, milk powder, and sugar, baked to crispy, toasted perfection.

Blueberry Lookout Lavender

Blueberry Lookout Lavender combines blueberry and lavender. In collaboration with Lookout Lavender Farm, this two-in-one flavor is churned with ribbons of blueberry lavender jam. 

We start this flavor the day before by prepping the blueberry and lavender infusions. 

First, blueberries are combined with sugar and lemon juice and left to macerate (soften) overnight in the fridge. As for the lavender, it is added to the ice cream base and is also left to sit overnight. The next day, we strain out the lavender and churn. While the mix is still semi-frozen, macerated blueberries are added.  

Finally, we layer in house-made blueberry lavender jam. Our sweet and tart blueberry jam, stirred with a lavender simple syrup, is cooked until it’s syrupy and is then layered into the ice cream.

Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake combines cinnamon ice cream with cream cheese and layers upon layers of carrot cake pieces. 

This recipe represents the flavor of the classic cream cheese buttercream that generally tops carrot cake. We start by pasteurizing our Sweet Cream ice cream with roughly two pounds of softened cream cheese.  

A classic carrot cake recipe of shredded carrots and warm spices – cinnamon, clove and ginger – are baked in sheets which are then chopped into bite-sized pieces. We also add a dash of cinnamon to warm up the flavor and complement the carrot cake pieces.

Dairy Free Coconut Macaroon

Dairy Free Coconut Macaroon is a perfect dairy free recreation of the classic pastry: a creamy, dairy free ice cream, comprised of coconut milk and coconut cream, with toasted coconut and snappy dark chocolate flakes. 

We begin with toasting a copious amount of shredded coconut to a dark amber color, then steep it into a simple syrup to extract the pure coconut flavor. This toasted concoction is then added to a combination of coconut milk, coconut cream, and pure vanilla extract, pureed, and set aside in the cooler overnight. The next day, we churn the overloaded coconut mixture and add our chocolate flakes when it’s semi-frozen. 

Allergen Info: contains coconut and soy. 

Lucky Charm

Lucky Charm infuses cereal and milk and overflows with lucky charms cereal rainbow marshmallows – a great treat for St. Patrick’s Day! 

We found that cereal gets soggy when submerged in ice cream, but we refused to accept that it couldn’t be done. After trial and error, we decided to steep cornflakes in our ice cream mix for 20 minutes before straining and churning. This process gives the ice cream its tasty cereal flavor without adding an undesirable texture.

Honeycomb

Honeycomb adds a crisp honey treat to our sweet cream ice cream. In collaboration with Harrison Bay Honey Farm, we’ve created a caramelized sugar and honey mixture that, once perfectly caramelized, is whisked in baking soda to aerate, growing until it becomes the perfect texture of a honeycomb. Then we chop it into pieces and sprinkle it throughout our sweet cream ice cream. 

Allergen Info: contains milk and eggs. 

Ooey Gooey

Ooey Gooey is a rich brown sugar ice cream overflowing with melt-in-your-mouth ooey gooey butter cake pieces.  

Gooey butter cake was created completely by accident by a St. Louis pastry chef in the 1930s. Accidentally switching the amount of flour and butter in his cake recipe, and unable to accept defeat and throw it out, he coined the term “gooey butter cake.” His cake became an adored sweet, and soon bakeries throughout St. Louis were creating their own gooey butter cake. Our version adds a pinch of dark brown sugar cinnamon, which has extra molasses to help the flavor shine and perfectly complement the dulce de leche swirls.   

Allergen Info: contains milk, eggs and wheat. 

Orange Cream

Orange Cream is vanilla scented sweet cream ice cream mixed with orange extract and orange zest. This creates a flavor profile most similar to an Orange Creamsicle -- tangy, sweet and citrusy. 

To add even more fruity flavor, we’ve swirled in a smooth orange curd. We start by massaging orange zest into sugar to release its natural oils. Then we mix cornstarch, salt, orange and lemon juice, and heat until boiling, after which we temper in the egg yolks and chip in the butter until the mixture reaches a certain temperature and coats the back of a spoon.

Student-inspired flavor (soon to be announced)

Our spring selection concludes with a special flavor from students at The Howard School. 

Each year, Clumpies partners with culinary students at Howard to create a one-of-a-kind flavor to be featured at Clumpies’ scoop shops across Chattanooga. This fun, collaborative project is possible thanks to the See Rock City Institute of Hospitality and Tourism Management, the first program of its kind in this area that provides opportunities for students to explore careers in food service, hospitality and tourism.
