Why Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Earns Cult Status

Black raspberry chocolate chip is the flavor that gets people talking. The combination of a bold, fruity berry base with the textural punch of chocolate chips creates a flavor experience that's greater than the sum of its parts — and when that berry base is built on fresh Ohio dairy instead of a watered-down grocery-store shortcut, the difference becomes undeniable.

Toft's Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip starts with a rich ice cream base that captures the deep, slightly tart character of real black raspberries — not the light pink, barely-there imitation you find elsewhere. The fresh Ohio cream that forms the foundation gives this berry base a creamy body that frames the fruit flavor perfectly. Then come the chocolate chips: distributed generously throughout, bringing bittersweet richness and a satisfying crunch in nearly every spoonful.

This flavor has been a mainstay at our four scoop shop locations for decades, and for good reason. Families return to it year after year. Adults who grew up with it seek it out the moment summer arrives. It's the kind of flavor that proves a truly great ice cream is more than just taste — it's texture, contrast, and memory working together.

Available in 48oz tub format. Gluten-free, Kosher certified, rBST-free from family farms within 50 miles of our Sandusky creamery.

Brown Butter Bourbon Truffle: Grown-Up Flavor, Dairy-First Foundation

Brown butter brings a toasted, nutty depth you can't fake with artificial butter flavor. Bourbon adds warmth and a hint of oak sweetness. Dark chocolate swirl ties it together — not a thin ribbon that disappears, but a real chocolate presence in the spoon.

We build this on the same fresh Ohio cream that anchors every Toft flavor: milk from family farms within 50 miles of Sandusky, no artificial growth hormones, hand-churned so the texture stays dense and creamy instead of icy or thin.

This is the carton for people who want dessert with character — after-dinner scoops, dinner parties, or a quiet night when vanilla isn't enough. Available in 48oz tub format at scoop shops and grocery partners.

Brownie Bandit: When the Mix-In Has to Be Worth Digging For

Brownie ice cream only works when the brownie is real. Ours starts with a chocolate ice cream base built on Ohio dairy, then loads in fudgy brownie pieces that stay distinct — soft center, cocoa edge, the kind of texture you chase with the spoon.

Hand-churning keeps the base dense so the mix-ins don't float in watery ice cream. rBST-free milk from family farms within 50 miles of our Sandusky plant means the chocolate lands rich, not thin.

For brownie people, birthday freezers, and anyone who believes ice cream should have something to chew on. Find it in 48oz at scoop shops and grocery freezers across Ohio.

Butter Pecan: The Classic That Still Earns Its Spot

Butter pecan fails when the nuts are sparse or the butter note is artificial. Toft's version leads with roasted pecans you can actually find, set in a vanilla base that carries real butter richness from quality cream.

Family-farm milk within 50 miles of Sandusky, hand-churned texture, no artificial growth hormones. The pecans bring crunch and toasted sweetness; the base keeps everything creamy between bites.

A heritage flavor for people who want classic ice cream done right — not reinvented, not watered down. 48oz tubs at scoop shops and grocery partners.

Caveman Chocolate: Cocoa Without the Apologies

Not every chocolate ice cream needs to taste like milk-chocolate candy. Caveman Chocolate is for people who want cocoa intensity: darker, deeper, less sugar-forward, still creamy enough to scoop cleanly.

Real cocoa in a base of fresh Ohio cream from farms within 50 miles of our Sandusky creamery. Hand-churned so the body stays dense. No artificial growth hormones.

Pair it with a simple cookie or eat it plain when you want chocolate to be the whole story. 48oz format for the freezer that takes chocolate seriously.

Cheesecake Faceoff™: When Two Dessert Classics Collide

The beauty of Cheesecake Faceoff™ lies in the tension between its two main characters. A rich, creamy cheesecake-flavored ice cream base — built on fresh Ohio dairy — carries the weight and sophistication of genuine cheesecake flavor. But it doesn't sit alone. Instead, it's swirled with bright, fruity strawberry ribbon that cuts through the richness and creates a flavor conversation that keeps you coming back for more.

This is a flavor for people who love dessert complexity. The cheesecake component is fully realized: creamy, slightly tangy, with that characteristic richness that comes from real dairy and real flavor. The strawberry adds textural variety and a flavor counterpoint that prevents any single note from overwhelming. Together, they create something neither could achieve alone.

The dairy base is made with fresh milk from Ohio-raised cows on family farms within 50 miles of our Sandusky plant — the same quality foundation we bring to every Toft's product. That quality shows in the creaminess, the richness, and the way the flavors meld into something genuinely premium.

Perfect for the dessert lover, the cheesecake enthusiast, and anyone who appreciates ice cream that challenges and satisfies in equal measure.

Chocolate: The Foundation Flavor Done Honestly

Chocolate ice cream is a test of the dairy. Thin milk makes thin chocolate. We start with rBST-free cream from Ohio family farms within 50 miles of Sandusky, then build a cocoa profile that's satisfying without tasting like bitter baking chocolate or sugary syrup.

Hand-churned texture means denser, creamier scoops than industrial freezer-case chocolate. No artificial growth hormones. No pretending flavor extract alone can carry a carton.

For cones, sundaes, milkshakes, and the freezer staple that has to work every time. Available in scoop shops and grocery freezers.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Dough You Can Actually Find

Cookie dough ice cream is only fun when the dough pieces are generous and the base is creamy enough to frame them. Ours loads soft cookie dough chunks and chocolate chips into a hand-churned base built on Ohio farm milk.

rBST-free dairy, Sandusky creamery, texture that holds up in a 48oz tub. Not a dusting of dough crumbs — pieces you dig for.

Birthday freezers, family nights, and anyone who still believes the dough is the point. Find Toft at scoop shops and grocery partners.

Cold Brew Caramel Latte™: The Coffee Ice Cream Built for Coffee People

Cold brew ice cream is a category where quality matters. The difference between a thin, artificial coffee flavor and a genuine cold brew experience comes down to two things: the coffee, and the dairy base. Toft's Cold Brew Caramel Latte™ delivers on both.

The coffee flavor is deep and genuine — cold brewed, bold, with the smooth character of a quality latte rather than the sharp bite of an espresso pull. The base is fresh Ohio cream from family farms within 50 miles of our Sandusky creamery, giving this flavor a creamy body that standard ice cream bases can't replicate. The result is smooth, sophisticated, and genuinely craveable.

Then comes the caramel swirl: a glossy ribbon of rich, buttery caramel that winds through the cold brew base, adding sweetness, texture, and a moment of indulgence in every scoop. The caramel doesn't dominate — it complements, adds, enhances. The coffee remains the lead character.

This is a flavor designed for the adult palate: morning people who love their coffee, dessert lovers who appreciate sophistication, and anyone looking for an ice cream that feels like a treat without being childish. Pair it with a warm brownie or a simple cookie for an elevating coffee-and-dessert moment.

Cookies 'N Cream: Simple Idea, Serious Dairy

Everyone knows cookies and cream. Not everyone makes it with cookie pieces that still taste like cookies and a base thick enough to hold them. We hand-churn vanilla-leaning ice cream on Ohio farm milk, then fold in real cookie pieces.

rBST-free. Sandusky. No artificial growth hormones. The contrast of cream and cookie is the whole point — we don't bury it under artificial vanilla.

Gatherings, kids' freezers, and adults who never outgrew the classic. Available in grocery and scoop shop formats.

Feelin' Dangerous™: The Ice Cream That Dares You

Hot and cold is one of the oldest, most satisfying culinary contrasts. Toft's Feelin' Dangerous™ leans fully into that tension. A creamy vanilla base provides the cold, the sweetness, the familiar comfort. The heat component — real spice, genuinely present — provides the surprise, the adventure, the moment of "wait, what just happened?"

The vanilla ice cream is built on the same fresh Ohio cream from family farms within 50 miles of our Sandusky plant that anchors every Toft's product. It's smooth, creamy, and rich enough to carry a bolder flavor profile. The spice isn't artificial heat or chemical burn — it's genuine spice character that builds warmly and settles with a pleasant lingering warmth.

This flavor is designed for the adventurous palate. The person who orders spicy food. The traveler who chases international cuisine. The dessert lover who appreciates complexity and surprise. It's a conversation starter, a memorable flavor, and a reminder that ice cream doesn't have to be one-note to be genuinely delicious.

Serve it after a meal, as a palate-cleansing interlude, or simply when you're in the mood to add a little danger to your freezer. [FLAG: Recipe spec needed]

French Vanilla: The Base That Has to Be Right

French vanilla is denser and more custard-leaning than plain vanilla — a richer finish that holds up under hot fudge or stands alone. Ours is built on fresh Ohio cream from family farms within 50 miles of Sandusky.

Hand-churned texture. No artificial growth hormones. Vanilla that tastes assertive, not pale.

Kitchen staple and scoop shop classic. Use it for floats, pies, or when vanilla is the main event.

Muddy's Sea Salt Slam™: Chocolate, Caramel, and the Salt That Brings It Together

The salt-and-sweet pairing has been elevating desserts for centuries, and for good reason: salt amplifies sweetness, balances richness, and creates a more interesting, complex flavor experience than either component could achieve alone. Toft's Muddy's Sea Salt Slam™ builds this classic pairing into a fully realized ice cream experience.

The chocolate base is rich, fudgy, and deeply chocolate-forward — not a light chocolate note, but a genuine cocoa experience. Built on fresh Ohio cream from family farms within 50 miles of our Sandusky plant, this chocolate ice cream has the body, richness, and smoothness that separates premium ice cream from the rest. The buttery salted caramel swirl adds another layer: richness, sweetness, and that signature caramel depth.

But the real star is the sea salt flakes. Real salt crystals, distributed throughout, create a flavor and textural experience that's impossible to achieve any other way. The salt flakes bring mineral character, textural variety, and a moment of "wait, what is that?" that keeps the flavor interesting from the first scoop to the last.

This is a flavor for the sophisticated palate. The person who orders salted chocolate desserts. The one who appreciates that great dessert is about balance, not just sweetness. The ice cream lover who wants complexity and conversation in their cone. [FLAG: Recipe spec needed]

Neapolitan: Three Classics, One Carton

Neapolitan is a gathering flavor: someone always wants chocolate, someone wants vanilla, someone wants strawberry. We give each stripe a real dairy foundation so none of the three tastes like an afterthought.

rBST-free milk from Ohio family farms, hand-churned in Sandusky. Heritage presentation with modern clean-label expectations.

Bulk and family formats for parties, kids, and anyone who likes options in one lid.

Peanut Butter 'N Cookies™: The Dough-Digging Flavor

Peanut butter ice cream only works when the peanut butter is real. No artificially flavored approximation, no shortcut base — just genuine peanut butter flavor built on a quality ice cream foundation. Toft's Peanut Butter 'N Cookies™ delivers exactly that.

The peanut butter base is rich, creamy, and deeply peanut-butter-forward. Built on fresh Ohio cream from family farms within 50 miles of our Sandusky creamery, this base has the richness and body to carry bold peanut butter flavor without becoming one-dimensional. It's the kind of creamy that comes from genuine dairy, not shortcuts.

The chocolate cookies are the textural hero. Generously sized pieces, chocolate-forward, they bring crunch and richness in every spoonful. The contrast between the smooth peanut butter base and the crisp cookie pieces is what makes this flavor genuinely compelling — you get three different textures and taste experiences in every bite.

A longtime favorite at gatherings, parties, and in the freezers of peanut butter enthusiasts everywhere. Pairs beautifully with a warm brownie or a simple chocolate sauce drizzle for a moment that feels genuinely indulgent.

Contains peanuts and is made on equipment shared with tree nuts and soy. Gluten-free, Kosher certified, rBST-free.

Peanut Butter Cup™: The Candy You Crave in Ice Cream Form

Peanut butter cup ice cream is only as good as two things: the quality of the peanut butter base and the quality of the cup inclusions. Toft's delivers on both fronts without compromise.

The peanut butter ice cream is built on fresh Ohio dairy from family farms within 50 miles of our Sandusky plant — the same quality foundation we bring to every product. That quality base ensures the peanut butter flavor is genuine, creamy, and satisfying. This isn't artificially flavored peanut butter approximation; it's the real thing.

The peanut butter cup pieces are generous, well-distributed, and deliver the exact chocolate-and-peanut-butter experience you're looking for. Each piece brings texture — the crunch of chocolate, the creaminess of peanut butter filling — and flavor complexity. Some scoops are more peanut-butter-forward, others bring more chocolate into the mix, but every scoop carries the full peanut butter cup experience.

The combination is irresistible: creamy peanut butter base, chunks of chocolate-and-peanut-butter candy, fresh Ohio dairy quality throughout. This is the flavor for the person who loves peanut butter cups without apology and wants them available by the scoop.

Available in 48oz tub format. Contains peanuts. Gluten-free, Kosher certified, rBST-free.

Vanilla: Prove the Dairy or Don't Bother

Vanilla exposes everything. Thin cream tastes thin. Artificial vanilla tastes hollow. Toft vanilla is built to taste like ice cream first: dense hand-churned body, real vanilla presence, milk from Ohio family farms within 50 miles of Sandusky.

No artificial growth hormones. No industrial shortcuts that turn vanilla into white filler. Use it under hot fudge, in a cone, or by the spoon when you want the foundation flavor to hold its own.

Available across scoop shops and grocery freezers in multiple formats.

Vanilla Bean: Speckles You Can Trust

The bean speckles aren't decoration — they're the tell that real vanilla is in the mix. Our vanilla bean ice cream pairs visible bean with a creamy hand-churned base from Ohio farm milk.

For birthdays, fair season, and freezers that need a little fun next to the classics.

Lake Erie Cookie Monster™: Ohio Pride in a Scoop

The color of Lake Erie at its most brilliant — that clear, bright blue on a perfect summer day — inspired this flavor. The blue frosting swirl captures that exact shade while delivering the sweet, creamy taste that makes frosting the best part of the cake. But this isn't just color and sweetness. The chocolate cookie pieces ensure every scoop has texture, richness, and that deeply satisfying cookie flavor.

Lake Erie Cookie Monster™ is the flavor for families. For the person who never grew up and still loves a blue-frosting-swirled birthday cake experience. For everyone who believes ice cream should be as fun as it is delicious. The base is, of course, fresh Ohio cream — the same quality dairy that defines all Toft's products. That quality foundation ensures even our most playful flavors have the richness and creaminess to stand up to their more traditional counterparts.

The chocolate cookie pieces are generous and well-distributed, ensuring variety in every serving. Some scoops bring you more frosting-swirl forward, others balance cookie and blue frosting and vanilla in equal measure. That unpredictability is part of the fun.

A perennial favorite at family gatherings, birthday parties, and in the freezers of people who take their blue frosting seriously. [FLAG: Recipe spec needed]
