Ever since reading about Steve's Ice Cream and some of their unique flavors, I've been looking for a way to bring them to the blog. The closest store that carries their products is hours away in Virginia, which meant I would have to ship the pints here to me in North Carolina; but I was finally able to procure a six pack of Steve’s finest a few days ago. After looking over all 16 of their current creations, I tried to select a wide variety of what they had to offer. My final selections were: Sunday Morning (buttered maple-syrup ice cream with crispy waffle pieces), NOLA Coffee & Donuts (New Orleans style iced coffee ice cream with donut pieces), BKLYN Blackout (milk chocolate ice cream swirled with chocolate stout cake pieces and dark chocolate pudding), Salty Caramel (caramel ice cream with sea salted caramel swirl), Mexican Chili Chocolate (chocolate ice cream spiced with cayenne, cinnamon and Guajillo chili chocolate) and Blackberry Honey (blackberry swirled with wildflower honey). These arrived the next day after my order was processed in a tightly packaged box with a styrofoam cooler inside. So what exactly is Steve's Ice Cream?
Steve’s Ice Cream started back in 1973 making small-batch ice cream; a trend that has spread like wildfire recently with companies like Jeni’s and Steve's leading the way. They prided themselves on not only making top-notch, handcrafted ice cream, but also adding healthy portions of various mix-ins to create some one of a kind flavors. Ever since their move to Brooklyn, New York, they’ve really taken off and now their products are offered all across the Northeastern United States (and growing daily it seems). Keep an eye out for reviews of these six succulent sounding flavors very soon.
