About Rave Creamworks' Super Premium Ice Cream

We will strive to keep this list as current as possible.  However, sometimes flavors will sell out and be replaced before we have a chance to update our selections here.  Fear not - we're sure you'll be able to pivot to another flavor you will love.  To ensure so you will find a new favorite, we'll let you sample as many as you wish. 

Tiramisu

Who doesn’t love Tiramisu?  Whether you’ve had the original in Italy or elsewhere, you can get the essence of the authentic decadent Italian dessert, which typically features layers of espresso-soaked lady finger cookies with a light creamy mixture of whipped mascarpone with a drizzle of marsala wine, and finished with a dusting of cocoa powder.  We combine a light espresso flavor with a hint of cocoa powder and other secret ingredients mimic the mascarpone and marsala wine, but keeping it lactose-free.  Then, we add generously-sized chunks of lady finger cookies as an inclusion into the ice cream.   The end result is just as decadent as the original.  It’s perfection!   

Snickerdoodle

We start with a cinnamon ice cream (real cinnamon, not flavoring) and add chopped up Lund's & Byerly's Snickerdoodle cookies into the ice cream just after churning.  This flavor is a favorite of co-owner, Paul V, and it was one of the first sample batches that we made long before the idea of the store Victual, and Rave Creamworks, was even fully fleshed out.  It's a good thing that Paul V likes snickerdoodles so much ... it's ended up being one of the all-time customer favorites.

Lemony Oreo®

We start with a lemon ice cream base and add in tons of crushed up Lemon Oreos. Brightly flavored citrus-y goodness with a two-thumbs-up rating.  And like all of our ice creams, this one is full dairy and lactose free.

Chill

This is our midwinter seasonal flavor, combining juniper berries with teaberry, and adding in spices of cardamom and white pepper and rounding out with chopped cashews.  If you've been fans of Summertime and Bonfire from past seasons, this could be your new favorite taste experience. Like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free, using all natural flavors and colors.  

xEggnog

When it comes to eggnog, we know that there are two distinct camps: Those who love the seasonal drink, and the haters. Fortunately, we fall into the former category rather than the latter, so we came up with an extra-delicious recipe, with just a hint of Studio's bourbon for a fuller, more authentic flavor. Our Eggnog ice cream is in the dipping cabinet for just a short time, and it's one you don't want to miss.

xSpice Trader

This a super special flavor that incorporates all of your favorite chai latte flavors including coriander, allspice, cloves, star anise, cardamom, white pepper, cinnamon and ginger; all that's missing is the black tea.  The result is warm, slightly spicy, and as calming as can be.  As in all of our ice creams, we use real ingredients rather than artificial flavors.  Flavorings can come from a variety of sources like real fruit, extracts, liqueurs, and spices.  This one relies entirely on ground up spices and the end result is spectacular and authentic.

S.O.T.B.

Did we go too far??? S.O.T.B. stands for South of the Border -- our version of Mexican hot chocolate -- a fiery concoction that includes tons of dark chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, coffee, cayenne, Double Take Salsa's Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce and Cruz de Fuego's Mezcal. This one isn't for the faint of heart or delicate palate. But boy, to my palate, it's a winner. Like all of our ice creams, this one is full dairy and lactose free.

Orange Cranberry

A seasonal Rave Creamworks flavor, ORANGE CRANBERRY, has its run in the dipping cabinet for a short run during the holiday season.  The orange ice cream base is flavored with real dried cranberries and a touch of super tart Leopold Bros New England Cranberry Liqueur.  So good! We'll happily hand pack pints and quarts to go.  And, like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free. 

Pumpkin Gingersnap

This is a delectable addition to our fall lineup. Made with real pumpkin, spices and with copious amounts of gingersnap cookies mixed throughout.  Like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free. 

Birch Beer

For the unfamiliar, birch beer is similar to root beer, but a bit more authentic in origin.  Made by distilling birch sap down to an oil, it has a more complex flavor, earthy and spicy; it's creamy up front and slightly minty on the finish.  Gotta say that we were so excited to sample this one when the first batches were done; I predict you'll love it!  It's like a built-in root beer float.  And like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free, made with all natural flavors and colors. 

Mint Chip

We can't think of a better flavor for summertime ... a perfect (and secret) blend of both spearmint and peppermint that combine together for a bright, pure, clean minty flavor.  We use all-natural real chocolate chips, rather than sorta-chocolatey chips used by commercial ice cream makers, making ours an all-natural delight. And, like all of our ice creams, this one is full dairy and lactose free.

White Chocolate Peppermint

This favorite is exactly what it says it is - the subtle flavor of white chocolate underneath the refreshing taste of peppermint.  We mix in real peppermint candy, and while they may dissolve in the ice cream the flavor is amazing!

Pink Squirrel

A customer favorite from day one!  Flavored with Creme de Noyaux, a pink almond-flavored French liqueur, and the most incredible Chocolate Liqueur made by broVo in Oregon. These flavors are supplemented with Dutch process dark cocoa powder and almond extract. Interestingly, the overall flavor profile is that of maraschino cherries with a whisper of chocolate. The levels of liqueur are low enough that all ages (or those that don't imbibe) can enjoy it.

Glace au Café

Perfection, achieved. From the day we launched Rave Creamworks, we've been tinkering with our coffee ice cream flavor, moving from "Coffee" to "Cafe Latte" to "Cafe au Lait." Each iteration was an improvement, but didn't achieve the flavor I've been seeking. You could call it Coffee 4.0 but we've decided call our latest (and final) version GLACE AU CAFÉ, which means coffee ice cream in French, in honor of the country that produces our natural flavoring agent. We don't care if you pronounce it with a distinctively Minnesotan accent, but you can try saying "glass aw ka-FEY" and you'll come close to the French pronunciation.

Triple Dark

This is for chocolate lovers -- a dark chocolate base, with massive brownie bites and chocolate chunks. Yeah ... chocolate.  Lots.  Of.  Chocolate.  And, like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free.

Baklava

One of the benefits of growing up in Detroit, MI, was its ethnic diversity; one of those groups was Greek, and from them came my love of baklava -- a rich/sweet dessert made from flaky phyllo dough, chopped walnuts and honey. For our ice cream, we've started  with a honey base and strewn in massive chunks of chopped up baklava. It's extra sweet and extra amazing, especially when you get one of those chunks of chopped nutty, syrupy goodness. I can say with confidence that you've never had an ice cream like this before.  Like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free, made with all natural ingredients and food coloring.

Luna Blue

It's what happens when you take a midwestern kid's favorite ice cream flavor, Blue Moon, and try to recreate it using all-natural flavors and food coloring. Tutti frutti in flavor, with notes of Froot Loops. Surprisingly delicious, with an authentic summery vibe. Like all of our ice cream flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free.

Honey Lavender Sunflower Seed

This is an incredibly special ice cream – mild wildflower honey, balanced subtly with lavender ... and the salt from the roasted sunflower seeds ties all of the flavors together into the most perfect combination ever.  The texture is extra creamy and there's a slight crunch from the sunflower seeds.  So many of our customers have reached out to us to let us know just how good this flavor is – and we happen to agree with their assessment.

Complicated Strawberry

There are no sufficient words to describe just how marvelous this ice cream is. Iconic comes closest. Comprised of tons of real strawberries, goat cheese, balsamic reduction and black pepper, this flavor is truly scrumptious.  The day we made it, we simply couldn't stop sampling it.  Despite the addition of goat cheese, this ice cream is still easy to digest by people with lactose intolerance; we call it lactose friendly.  And, it's made with all natural ingredients.

Pistachio

Folks, this is the real deal, flavored with pistachio paste, with chopped, roasted, salted pistachios strewn throughout.  If you're hoping for a Jell-O® pistachio pudding flavor, this ain't it; this is real and authentic, and it's absolutely scrumptious. And like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free, made with all natural flavors and colors. 

Double Double Vanilla Vanilla

We're crazy for vanilla! You get *extra* Madagascar Bourbon Bean Vanilla plus Tahitian Vanilla plus real vanilla bean specks in this glorious new flavor. Wowza!  This might be the all-time best vanilla ice cream ever!

Bourbon Caramel Pecan

An amazing ice cream made with real bourbon – ultra creamy, caramel-y and the gentle crunch of pecans.  We've got a lot of goodness going on here.

Chocolate 2.0 

Sometimes tinkering with recipes is a good thing. In a quest to make the best possible CHOCOLATE ice cream, Rave Creamworks has experimented and switched its cocoa powder from a well-known brand to a lesser-known but highly esteemed Dutch brand. We think it's a winner ... extra smooth and creamy with a beautiful chocolate flavor.

Oreo®

Not your standard cookies and cream ice cream.  Chock full of real Oreo®  cookie - this tastes like the real thing! Like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free.
