All Flavors
Peppermint Brownie
Peppermint ice cream with housemade fudge brownies.
Boozy Breakfast
Yay, the holidays are here and our friends over at Other Half Brewery brought us an early present! When we tasted their delicious stout, we decided to pair it with mocha to go with the delicious, deep and rich undertones. The inclusion is a simple housemade oatmeal cookie with slight warm notes to compliment the creaminess of the mocha stout ice cream.
Visions of Peppermint
Chocolate peppermint ice cream with housemade white chocolate peppermint stick bark
L’Chaim
L'Chaim is our Essex Market Line shop specific flavor. A custom chai spice blend sweet cream ice cream with housemade chocolate covered chewy coconut bar pieces.
Maple Bourbon Barrel
Maple bourbon ice cream made with Widow Jane bourbon and Crown Maple® syrup aged in bourbon barrels and sprinkled with chocolate-coated maple-candied pecans.
Summer of Love
In 2017, we teamed up with Baked by Melissa to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. With their signature tie-dye cupcakes lovingly swirled into our classic sweet cream ice cream, this far out flavor was an immediate hit! We’ve brought Summer of Love back for a limited run every summer since.
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Marbled pumpkin and cheesecake ice cream with pieces of housemade graham craker crumble.
Baby, I Was Churned This Way!
Available exclusively in June to celebrate Pride, Baby, I Was Churned This Way! is a salty hazelnut ice cream mixed with rainbow-colored chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. The flavor name was given to us years ago by clever fan Brett Hall as an homage to Lady Gaga’s Pride anthem, “Born This Way.” Churning this flavor has been our Pride tradition ever since. We believe fiercely in the fight for equality, and feel a responsibility to advocate for o
Guavito
Guavito is our Aventura, FL shop specific flavor. In celebration of the large Cuban population and beautiful weather we immediately thought of sipping Mojitos while enjoying a beautiful fuchsia sunset on the beach. We spiced up this classic Cuban drink with the beautiful and uniquely tropical flavor of guava. Turns out guava is native to Florida!
The Flavor of Record
Made for a limited time in celebration of The New York Times Food Festival, The Flavor of Record is a sweet cream ice cream mixed with fudge swirls and our housemade black & white cookies—a treat as iconically New York as The New York Times itself. We love making our own mix-ins as much as possible because it lets us finesse every detail. For our black & white cookies, our secret ingredients are lemon juice and sour cream.
Lemon Poppyseed
Spring in every scoop! Lemon Poppyseed is a lemon poppyseed ice cream mixed with housemade sugar cookies. To capture the essence of lemon, we use lemon oil...not lemon juice. We’re as much a bakery as we are a creamery, and take pride in making our own mix-ins in house at our Red Hook Factory. Our crispy sugar cookies are made from scratch by our Bakery Team! This bright flavor pairs perfectly with Strawberries & Cream, Corn to Run and a lazy Sun
State Fair
Made in collaboration with over-the-top ice cream enthusiasts at Black Tap, State Fair is a corn ice cream mixed with popcorn brittle and caramel swirls. Our corn base is made just about the same way as Corn to Run. The popcorn brittle is made with sugary syrup poured all over popcorn and then baked (if this sounds familiar, you may remember a similar mix-in from our retired flavor, Big Ample Circus).
Peppermint Pattie
Put some pep in your step with Peppermint Pattie. This cool peppermint ice cream is bursting with housemade dark chocolate-covered peppermint patties. Each batch is made with just a few drops of peppermint oil—the strong stuff—for an arctic blast in every bite. Peppermint Pattie makes for an excellent float with hot chocolate or even with a hot mocha latte.
Fluffernutter Fudge
Fluffernutter Fudge is inspired by the nostalgic children’s sandwich, the fluffernutter! A sandwich made on white bread with two spreads (marshmallow creme and peanut butter), the fluffernutter is a lunchbox classic. It would make any kid the envy of the cafeteria!
PB Wins the Cup
A vanilla ice cream with chocolate flakes and housemade peanut butter cups in every bite! The power of this flavor lies in its simplicity: a timeless vanilla ice cream, a touch of chocolate and a perfected peanut butter cup recipe. Learn more about how we make PB Wins the Cup on our Featured Flavor blog. A customer favorite, PB Wins the Cup will keep you coming back for more.
Butter Pecan Brittle
Our take on a classic, this silky brown sugar ice cream features a sticky-sweet housemade pecan brittle. When it comes to adding mix-ins, we aren’t afraid to go nuts. Butter Pecan Brittle is the perfect balance of smooth and crunchy; you butter pecan believe it!
Royal Raspberry
A vegan sorbet made with smooth, seedless raspberry purée, Royal Raspberry celebrates the majesty of nature with a regal color. This simple, refreshing flavor is made with no more than eight ingredients (including water). With something as revered as raspberry, we saw no reason to overcomplicate things. This sorbet pairs perfectly with The King of Mangoes and watching The Crown.
I Contain Breakfast Foods
The shop-specific flavor for Ample Hills at Brooklyn Bridge Park is I Contain Breakfast Foods! This flavor is a tribute to famous American author Walt Whitman, who was inpsired by the ferry boats coming and going from Brooklyn Bridge Park's Fulton Ferry Landing to write Crossing Brooklyn Ferry (the poem that then, in turn, inspired our name). Featuring Whitman’s two favorite morning treats, I Contain Breakfast Foods is a sweet cream ice cream wit
Black Panther
80 years ago, Marvel published their first-ever comic book, “Marvel Comics #1.” Since that legendary day, Marvel’s stories have shown us we can be anyone or do anything—all we have to do is trust in the power within us. To commemorate this milestone, we’ve teamed up with Marvel to churn three brand new flavors inspired by our favorite Super Heroes: Black Panther, Captain America and Spider-Man. To tell the origin story of Black Panther through ic

To create a flavor that tells Spider-Man’s story we
PB Takes a Dip
A chocolatey spin on PB Wins the Cup, PB Takes a Dip is a milk chocolate ice cream mixed with our housemade peanut butter cups and peanut butter swirls. Chocolate and peanut butter were meant to be. Why complicate it? PB Takes a Dip pairs well with Strawberries & Cream, a night in and Grey's Anatomy.
Baked/Unbaked
Everyone loves the smell of freshly baked cookies...but we also love to eat cookie dough before it goes in the oven. Why should we have to choose? Cookie dough shouldn’t just be a middle-of-the-night-when-no-one’s-looking snack. (We’ve all been there.) With Baked/Unbaked, you can have your cookies and eat the dough too. It's the best of both worlds in one fell scoop! Learn all about how this flavor is made on our Featured Flavor blog.
Breakfast Trash
Breakfast Trash is a Cap’n Crunch, Frosted Flakes and Corn Pops-infused ice cream mixed with Fruity Pebbles and Froot Loops! A retired flavor from years past, this beloved flavor has made a comeback thanks to you; Breakfast Trash scooped the vote in Flavor Frenzy 2019. Breakfast Trash pairs well with the latest cartoons from Hanna-Barbera. For an exclusive look at how we make this flavor, check out our our Featured Flavor blog.
Ode to Joy
Inspired by the candy bar that makes us go nuts, Ode to Joy is a non-dairy coconut ice cream mixed with almond fudge brownies! Every bite sends us back to Halloween in the living room, dumping out our bags of candy to check out our loot, fingers crossed for one chocolatey almondy candy in particular. A vegan flavor, Ode to Joy will have you singing, “Joyful, joyful, free of dairy!”
It Came From Gowanus
The shop-specific flavor for our Gowanus scoop shop, It Came From Gowanus tells the story of an imagined movie monster emerging from the polluted canal. Full of deep, dark mystery and endless surprises, this flavor is a salty dark chocolate ice cream mixed with orange-scented brownies, hazelnut crack’d cookies and white chocolate pearls (an homage to the oysters tasked with cleaning up the waterway). This flavor is the all-time favorite of our Am
Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
Our bestseller, this creamy vanilla ice cream is mixed with housemade gobs of St. Louis-style ooey gooey butter cake. Never heard of ooey gooey butter cake? Well, don’t be shy. We’d love to introduce you. This flavor is an Amployee favorite (especially loved by our Amployee Max).
Chocolate Milk & Cookies
Remember dipping your cookies in milk? And drinking that glass of cookie-infused milk when you ran out of cookies? (We sure did.) Feel like a kid again with Chocolate Milk & Cookies, a chocolate milk ice cream chock-full of sandwich creme cookies! For an indulgence unlike any other, pair this flavor with Ooey Gooey Butter Cake.
Strawberries & Cream
Our Strawberries & Cream is a smooth and pure strawberry ice cream made with fresh strawberries. We don’t use artificial strawberry flavoring, preferring to celebrate the natural tartness of our favorite fruit. That’s why it’s not uncommon to find strawberry seeds or even the occasional hunk of strawberry in our Strawberries & Cream.
The King of Mangoes
The King of Mangoes is a vegan mango sorbet made from Alphonso mangoes. Inspired by the bliss of fresh sliced fruit in the summer, this dairy-free, alcohol-free flavor is the perfect refreshment after a hot summer day. This flavor is the all-time favorite of our Amployee Dimitri.
Dark Chocolate
A smooth, simple flavor that comforts you with every chocolatey scoop, our Dark Chocolate is a rich dark chocolate ice cream! More decadent than bitter, this flavor is loved by kids and kids-at-heart alike.
Harry & Eigel's Marbled & Malted
The shop-specific flavor for Ample Hills at Dekalb Market Hall, Harry & Eigel’s Marbled & Malted celebrates the neighborhood with a tribute to local institution, Junior’s! Junior’s became a diner and dessert destination because of its one-of-a-kind cheesecake. Named after Junior’s founder Harry Rosen and his master baker Eigel Peterson, Harry & Eigel’s Marbled & Malted is a chocolate malted ice cream mixed with Junior’s marbled cheesecake and mal
Cherry Lime Riickey
With a double “i” just like Riis, Cherry Lime Riickey is the shop-specific flavor for Ample Hills at Riis Park Beach Bazaar The perfect refreshment after a long summer day, Cherry Lime Riickey is a cherry lime sorbet made with cherry purée, fresh lime juice and a splash of vodka.
Sweet as Honey
Sweet as Honey is a sweet cream ice cream with housemade honeycomb candy. The honeycomb candy melts into an uncontrollable sticky-swirl—a craveable combination of gooey and crunchy. We recommend pairing Sweet as Honey with Strawberries & Cream for a celebration of natural sweetness.
Floatin’ Over the High Line
For the shop-specific flavor for Ample Hills at Bubby’s, we collaborated with Bubby’s to create a nostalgic ice cream flavor celebrating a stroll down the High Line—a one-of-a-kind elevated linear park stretching 1.45 miles—in Manhattan. Featuring Bubby’s own root beer syrup in the base, Floatin’ Over the High Line is a root beer ice cream with mini marshmallows and chocolate sprinkles.
Chelsea Morning
For our Chelsea shop-specific flavor, we took our inspiration from Joni Mitchell’s hit song about the historic Hotel Chelsea. Capturing the feeling of the sun rising to greet this vibrant New York neighborhood, Chelsea Morning is a golden vanilla ice cream mixed with rainbow cookies from BAKED.
The Hell's Kitchen Sink
Our shop-specific flavor for Ample Hills at Gotham West Market is inspired by the name of its neighborhood, Hell’s Kitchen! We wanted to make something indulgent, mysterious and spicy. With a subtle nod to the neighborhood’s Irish heritage in the Guiness base, The Hell’s Kitchen Sink is a chocolate stout ice cream mixed with chili spiced brownies, brown butter cookie dough and toffee bar crunch.
The Commodore
The shop-specific flavor for our Prospect Heights scoop shop, The Commodore is inspired by our scoop shop’s street. Vanderbilt Avenue was named after Commodore Vanderbilt, the fabled inventor of the potato chip! To celebrate this fun bit of history in the neighborhood, we churned The Commodore, a salty honey ice cream mixed with chocolate-covered potato chips clusters and housemade honeycomb candy.
Nectar of the Queens
A celebration of the neighborhood’s Greek heritage, Nectar of the Queens is our Astoria shop-specific flavor! Nectar of the Queens is a smooth honey cinnamon ice cream mixed with baklava and galaktoboureko from Astoria’s own Artopolis Bakery. By partnering with a local bakery just down the street, we're proud to showcase authentic Greek pastries in every scoop! Unlike Olympus' mythological ambrosia, our ice cream can't promise eternal life...but
The Golden Door
Our shop-specific flavor for our Jersey City scoop shop, The Golden Door is a celebration of immigrants and takes its name from Emily Lazarus's "The New Colossus," inscribed on the Statue of Liberty. The Golden Door is an indulgent cannoli filling-infused ice cream mixed with Irish dark chocolate whiskey cake and German streusel crumble.
Mexican Hot Chocolate
Our cool take on the iconic hot drink, Mexican Hot Chocolate is a spicy dark chocolate ice cream made with cinnamon and chili flakes. Perfectly paired with Nonna D's Oatmeal Lace, scooped by a slice of pie or in a rather indulgent hot cocoa float, Mexican Hot Chocolate always brings the heat.
The Hook
Our shop-specific flavor for our Red Hook Factory, The Hook is a burnt sugar ice cream mixed with salty fudge bites and Dutch stroopwafels. This flavor is full of tasty tributes to the history of the neighborhood, from the Dutch immigrants who coined the name “Red Hook” to the Historic Revere Sugar Refinery. This flavor is the all-time favorite of Amployee Erin and our Director of Ice Cream Matt!
Salted Crack’d Caramel
The flavor that made us famous, Salted Crack’d Caramel is a burnt caramel ice cream mixed with Deb's famous crack'd cookies: saltine crackers cooked in butter and dipped in chocolate. We find this flavor is a little polarizing; you love it or you hate it. It's our Amployee Robb's all-time favorite. Find out where you fall!
Nonna D's Oatmeal Lace
Full of warm flavors, this rich brown sugar cinnamon ice cream is mixed with crispy oatmeal lace cookies. These are not your grandmother’s oatmeal cookies—they’re our founder’s! Following a family recipe passed down from Jackie’s mother, Nonna D, our oatmeal lace cookies are delicate, buttery and just the right amount of crunch. (And the D is for Dolores.) This flavor is our Amployee Amanda's all-time favorite.
Cookie au Lait
Capturing the mischievous flavor of dipping a cookie into your morning cup of joe, our Cookie au Lait is the perfect balance of coffee, cookies and cream. Every scoop of Cookie au Lait features a smooth dark coffee base mixed with the best sandwich creme cookies in all the land (we know; we taste-tested all of them). Cookie au Lait won Flavor Frenzy 2017, so we know this is a flavor you'll love a latte.
The Munchies
Guaranteed to satisfy your salty-sweet tooth, The Munchies is a pretzel-infused ice cream bursting with a mishmash of snacky mix-ins: our housemade munchies mix of Ritz crackers, potato chips, pretzels and crushed M&M's. The Huffington Post says The Munchies is "the number one ice cream in America." Learn more about how we make The Munchies on our Featured Flavor blog. This flavor is the all-time favorite of our Amployee Bennett! The next time yo
Triple Chocolate Surprise
All three flavors in The Disney Mickey Mouse Collection are inspired by big moments in the illustrious career of the true original, Mickey Mouse. Triple Chocolate Surprise is inspired by 1928; the year that Mickey Mouse made his debut! “Steamboat Willie” marks the first appearance of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, the first animated short with synchronized sound and the first Disney hit! Those are three big firsts, deserving of three big helpings
Chocolate Malted
Chocolate Malted is an homage to the classic New York City soda fountain. Back in the early 20th century, it was routine for folks to drop by the diner for a malt. Soda fountains were the go-to hangouts. Chocolate Malted brings this tasty bit of NYC history to life. To really capture that nostalgic flavor, we recommend Chocolate Malted as a milkshake.
Sweet Cream & Cookies
Our approach to an iconic ice cream flavor, Sweet Cream & Cookies is a sweet cream ice cream mixed with sandwich creme cookies. Imagine eating your cookies like cereal, drowning in milk. This is kind of like that. This flavor is our Amployee Cephus's all-time favorite.
Vanilla Bean
Why mess with a classic? Our Vanilla Bean is our take on the pure, simple vanilla that's practically synonymous with ice cream. It's the vanilla you'd find at a diner with a slice of pie or scooped in an iconic root beer float. To make such a smooth vanilla ice cream, we use only the best ingredients: milk, cream, sugar, eggs and madagascar bourbon vanilla beans.
Snap, Mallow, Pop!
An Amployee favorite, Snap, Mallow, Pop! is our take on a deconstructed rice krispie treat! First, we churn a fluffy marshmallow base (made from melting tons of marshmallows in the pasteurizer with the milk, cream, sugar and eggs). Then, we bake buttery rice krispie clusters by hand in our kitchen. Lastly, we swirl them all together, leaving buttery bites all throughout the batch. Oh, snap!
Cotton Candy
Our Cotton Candy ice cream (also known as "blue! blue! blue!" in the after school rush) is made with all-natural flavors and all-natural food coloring. We know it's hard to believe, but we've transformed this carnival classic into a fluffy, sugary ice cream without using any artificial colors or flavors. So go on, indulge guilt-free. This flavor is the all-time favorite of our Amployee Parlo. We recommend pairing Cotton Candy with Strawberries &
Corn To Run
Not to be corny, but Corn to Run is a-maize-ing. It’s a fan favorite. A sweet corn ice cream mixed with a cornmeal crumble and blueberry swirls, Corn to Run celebrates Bruce Springsteen’s hit song, “Born to Run.” This flavor was dreamed up by former Amployee Jamie, who loved to use her culinary expertise to experiment with unexpected flavor combinations. She was an innovator. Corn to Run is her legacy! Corn to Run won second place in Flavor Frenz
Lemon Sky
A tart vegan sorbet, Lemon Sky is a light and billowy ginger sorbet made with a splash of limoncello. Perfect after a long day in the sun, our Amployees recommend blending a few scoops of Lemon Sky with sparkling water for a refreshing afternoon slushie. When it comes to this flavor, the sky's the limit.
Pistachio Squared
Our Pistachio Squared features—you guessed it—two kinds of pistachio: pistachio ice cream and pistachio brittle. As our brittle mixes with the ice cream, some of the sticky-sweet syrup melts into a "caramellike" drizzle while the rest stays crisp and crunchy. We don't force it. And we never use artificial food coloring in our pistachio. After all, Mother Nature knows best.
Cranberry Gin Fizz
A seasonal vegan flavor, Cranberry Gin Fizz is a cranberry sorbet made with cranberry purée, lime juice and—of course—a splash of gin. After all, sometimes to get through the holidays, you have to gin and bear it!
