Gigi Real Fruit Ice Cream

Meet the heart of our menu: Gigi Real Fruit Ice Cream — a bright, creamy swirl made with real fruit, real dairy, and real care. Each batch is crafted with fruit-forward recipes and blended using only the finest ingredients from trusted suppliers like Ashby’s and Alden’s Clean Ice Cream.

Whole Fruit. Whole Flavor.

Real fruit first: Strawberries, mangoes, peaches, blueberries, and rotating seasonal picks.
Naturally vivid: Color and aroma come from the fruit itself—no artificial dyes or masking flavors.
Peak-picked: We use flash-frozen or fresh fruit at peak ripeness for consistent, juicy flavor.

Why Ashby’s Flavors Matters

Ashby’s Flavors is our trusted foundation. Their creamy base is ultra-smooth and flexible, giving us the freedom to let the fruit shine. By pairing our real fruit blends with their high-quality base, we retain texture, balance, and that perfect mouthfeel at every scoop.

Clean, Creamy, and Simple

Short ingredient list: Ashby’s base (milk, cream, stabilizer blend) plus fruit, a touch of sugar, and a pinch of sea salt.
Balanced sweetness: We dial in sweetness to lift—not mask—the fruit.
Small-batch made: We blend in micro-batches so fruit stays bright and texture stays lush.

How We Make It

Fruit prep: Gently macerate fruit to release natural juices and aroma.
Blend with Ashby’s base: Fold the fruit into Ashby’s creamy foundation.
Churn & rest: We churn to silky finish, then let flavors meld before serving.
Serve fresh: Aim for that just-churned texture—soft, scoopable, and bursting with flavor.
