Restaurants: It’s time to order heart-shaped truffles for Valentine’s Day from Dandy Don’s Ice Cream. We have white-chocolate and dark-chocolate covered ice cream hearts with sorbet centers.
Congrats to Graeter’s Ice Cream
We know there are other ice cream companies out there working every day to create a wonderful product. One of those companies is Greater’s Ice Cream located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Dandy Don’s Ice Cream wishes to extend a hearty congratulations to Greater’s Ice Cream for being awarded Plant of the Year by Dairy Foods magazine. You can read the cover story about them here. And here’s a nice photo of the owners, fourth-generation owners at that.
Ice Cream Club
We here at Dandy Don’s Ice Cream are thinking about starting up an Ice Cream Club. We would send out one pint per month perhaps to willing ice cream eaters. We would ship our classic flavors like Vanilla Bean and Cappuccino Crunch, our seasonal flavors like Harry’s Berries Strawberry and Pumpkin Praline, and experimental or very limited-run flavors like Birthday Cake Ice Cream. If this sounds good to you, give us a call or send an email to [email protected] to let us know.
It’s Affogato Time!
Now that it’s cold outside, affogato is a must. What’s that, you ask? Why an affogato is an Italian treat of a scoop of ice cream (usually Vanilla Bean) drowning in a shot of hot espresso. Steamy and cold all at once. Delicious! When we serve affogato treats, we have people who like to mix it up by adding a bit of hot fudge or using Chocolate ice cream. We hand them out with a Biscoff cookie for that authentic European touch.
Dandy Don Meredith Gone
The original Dandy Don, sports legend Don Meredith, died today. We’re going to do everything we can to keep his nickname alive.

Dandy Don’s Ice Cream Social in a Box makes the perfect holiday gift – corporate or personal. Because everyone loves ice cream gifts. We just shot a funny video showing how we pack one up.

MTV Gifting Event
Dandy Don’s Ice Cream had a booth at the MTV Gifting Event at The Standard Hotel on Sept. 11th. Musician and basketball player Romeo (f.k.a. Lil’ Romeo) stopped by to eat a hot fudge sundae. So did 3 members of the band Linkin Park and actor Eric Roberts. Good times.
Things Are Looking Up
Business has been steadily picking up in the last few months. We aren’t making any major predictions about the economic climate, but we’re glad to see this slight uptick.

Ice Cream for the Troops

The event was sponsored by K-Earth 101.1 – morning show host Gary Bryan jumped in to help the Dandy Don’s serving team: Alison Hawkins-Keogh, Peter Ianotti and of course Dandy Don himself.
