Original Recipe Ice Cream

Kilwins started making Original Recipe Ice Cream in 1985. Today, we offer dozens of premium, unique, and delicious flavors made especially for our stores. Our ice cream is considered super premium, which refers to its higher butterfat content and lower overrun that create an exceptionally creamy consistency and rich texture. Kilwins Original Recipe Ice Cream is a truly high-quality treat.

We began perfecting our Original Recipe Ice Cream in small batches, and we continue that tradition of excellence using only the finest ingredients. Like many of our proprietary Kilwins products, our ice cream is Kosher certified. Select ingredients are blended into our premium base, then we add inclusions like fudge, caramel, nuts, chocolate chips, and other quality confections to create a delicious product available only in Kilwins stores.

Our ice cream is expertly frozen and carefully packaged to protect its superior quality. It is shipped exclusively on Kilwins temperature-controlled trucks to help ensure that optimum quality is maintained at every step.

Today, Guests enjoy the same traditional quality of our Original Recipe Ice Cream in all Kilwins stores. The experience is made even sweeter by the aroma of our freshly made waffle cones wafting through the air as they are crafted in store. Paired with our hand-crafted hot fudge and caramel toppings, you will always find your perfect scoop.

You can also enjoy our Original Recipe Ice Cream in ice cream sundaes, premium milkshakes, and Gourmet Ice Cream Cakes, perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or any special occasion.
