This is a review of a new ice cream shop that opened up in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The name is Ample Hills Creamery. In a word-yum!
Thank you Brian and all the lovely folks at Ample Hills Creamery. Thank you for delivering the quality product that ice cream should be. Thank you for making ice cream with such love and care that I wouldn't mind gaining 5 pounds this summer just to enjoy your product.
4 of us traveled in from Fort Greene this past Saturday and each sampled a flavor on our maidan voyage:
1) Peanut Butter Cookie-Amazingly made with fresh baked cookies!
2) Weekend Brunch-with pieces of french toast in a cinnamon ice cream
3) Salty Crack Caramel-rich and filled with pieces of burnt caramel
4) Breakfast Cereal-infused with cereal and with fruit loops in it!
All the flavors were equally amazing and full of life and flavor. We each decided that this was in fact the best ice cream that we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. We were a little bummed that the peppermint patty and other flavors were sold out, but that just goes to show you how popular this new spot is.
Since trying it for the first time, we have traveled back multiple times and have never been disappointed. I have personally tried so many flavors that I have lost count. My top 3 are: peanut butter cookie already mentioned, peppermint patty which has in house made candy in it and raspberry blonde which has hand made blondies and raspberry jam mixed in. Amazing!!!
What I really love about this new addition to this area is the fact that nobody working there or making the ice cream was taking themselves too seriously. There are a few in Brooklyn and Manhattan that are very snooty about their ice cream and ingredients, but not Ample Hills. They really look like they are having the best time making ice cream.
I cannot wait for the fall so that I can taste the season through ice cream. Thank heavens for small miracles!
