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. 

Bonfire

Not for everyone ... our most *interesting* Rave Creamworks ice cream flavor ever:  BONFIRE.  This flavor is the essence of fall -- smoke, tequila, chocolate, walnut, burnt sugar. Yes, you read it right.  Now scooping at Victual.  Like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free -- and surprisingly delicious.

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.

Church Basement Lemon Bar

If you've ever been in your church's fellowship hall for a potluck, then you can guess what this flavor is all about. For those who don't know, this is lemon ice cream with lactose free cream cheese and buttery graham cracker crust. And, like all of our ice cream flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free. Hallelujah! Praise be.

Spice 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.

Blueberry Betty

This is one of my favorite Rave Creamworks ice cream flavors -- chock full of real wild blueberries, a hint of molasses, and chopped up cookies baked by our favorite neighborhood SuperOne grocery store. Wow is this one good!  So good!  And like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free.

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. 

Green Fairy

Those into French liqueurs and French lore know of the Green Fairy – visual hallucinations that supposedly were the result of drinking absinthe, a liqueur made from wormwood.  (We could go into more detail of the old French lore, but it's ancient history and involves a conspiracy theory from vintners in the burgeoning wine trade who tried to spread false rumors about the existing liqueur industry to get people to switch from liqueur to wine.  I digress.)  If you've read this far, you're going to want to know that our Green Fairy flavor is made from absinthe, a fennel liqueur and an anise extract.  There you've got it – a three-way race towards a licorice flavor that is ultimately smooth, mellow, and lovely.  (And it's not just for dads and grandpas.)

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. 

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.

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!

Plain 'Ol Peanut Butter

Made with Skippy® brand smooth peanut butter (lots of it!) and churned to a perfectly creamy consistency.  No chocolate chips, no cocoa powder, no chopped nuts, no gimmicks; just plain ol' peanut butter.  Like all of our flavors, this one is full dairy and lactose free -- and 100% delicious.

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.

Minted Oreo®

There are some flavor combinations that are iconic in our vast world of food and desserts and Minted Oreo is one of those perfect pairings.  This limited-run flavor is the perfect variation of an ice cream flavor that's already near perfection and always high on our list of best sellers.  We use fresh spearmint extract and stir the Oreos in by hand after the ice cream is fully churned to protect the fresh minty green color from looking muddy.  Cool, refreshing, chocolate-y, Oreo-y, and it has such a clean mouth feel.
