Our Kosher-certified ice cream is celebrated for its favors, of course, but also its top-quality ingredients, starting with the freshest milk and cream.
To get our final product, we had to carefully engineer and plan how it gets to our customers and what it's made from. To start, our Original Recipe Ice Cream is Kosher-certified, made from milk and cream sourced from family farms. Then, our famous ice cream is stored in custom-made tubs and transported in specialized vans designed to continually monitor temperature to ensure the highest quality.
Ask for your ice cream in a hand-made waffle cone or waffle bowl (or traditional cup). You can also get the same ice cream as a thick and creamy milkshake, malt, or as an old-fashioned sundae topped with your favorite extras.
You can have your Kilwins ice cream however you like it, and if you need some help narrowing down your choices, ask a Kilwins team member for a sample—we’re always happy to help and share the taste of Kilwins. Top off your custom treat with any of our variety of toppings, like our Mackinac Island Fudge.
