Pumphouse Creamery : Menu

Vanilla

The milk and cream really shows off its freshness with this flavor. We use high quality vanilla, extract which is described by the manufacturer as delicate, full-bodied, sweet and rummy.

Chocolate

Our chocolate ice cream is proudly made using organic and fair trade chocolate from Equal Exchange. Their cocoa powder is one of the best on the market and it really shows its smooth, rich and decadent qualities in this ice cream.

Local Organic Strawberry

The strawberries are provided to us by Natura Farm in the St. Croix Valley area. We get about 100 flats of berries at their peak of freshness within a span of about 3 weeks, they are then frozen here to be used year round.

Sea Salt, Caramel and Praline Pecans

By far our most popular flavor. We make our own caramel sauce for this ice cream and fold in praline pecans for a rich, caramel crowd pleaser.

Brandy Soaked Local Cherries with Handmade Brownies

The cherries used are Evan and North Star cherries from Griffin Gardens located in Cold Spring, MN. Evan cherries are the typical Midwest grown tart cherry and North Star is a dark burgundy cherry. The dense full-flavored chocolate brownies are made by Fireroast Mountain Café located in the Seward neighborhood.

Butter Pecan

Another fan favorite using local butter that is caramelized with sugar and cream. The pecans are roasted and salted which compliments the sweet creaminess of this ice cream.

Kulfi

An Indian ice cream using ground raw pistachios, rosewater, and cardamom. This ice cream has such a cult following behind it that when we do not have it available for scooping we have it prepackaged by the pint in the back freezer. Sorta speakeasy-ish!

Chocolate Peanut Butter

Locally made Parkers Farms peanut butter is used with the combination of organic and fair trade chocolate from Equal Exchange. A touch of sea salt is added to enhance this big seller.

Hot Cinnamon and Local Apples

A new flavor this year. We use local Zestar apples starting in Sept. and move on to Harrlesons as the season progresses. We sauté the apples with cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne to add a bit of a kick and swirl this in our tasty vanilla ice cream.

Locally Roasted Pumpkin

This is a seasonal flavor using local Long Island Cheese Squash, an heirloom variety known as ‘the original pie pumpkin.’ It is bright orange and very meaty, and the flavor rivals pie pumpkins.
