It won Jodi first place in a cooking competition. It’s one of Demetrius’s favorite gifts to receive. It’s a treat that almost every character in the game enjoys (except for a few and we’re not naming names). It’s: ice cream!
In Stardew Valley, you don’t get just a regular old ice cream cone either. The icon has three different colored ice cream scoops, with pink on the top, green in the middle, and white on the bottom. The flavors I picked for each scoop are based off my own tastes, have a similar color palette to the one in-game, and all pair well when eaten together. Each flavor also shows off a different method for making ice cream.
Traditional Strawberry Ice Cream
The first flavor I made was strawberry, meant to match the pink ice cream scoop on top. This one wasn’t too hard to figure out as strawberries are part of the game, although they’re not used in any cooking recipes. Strawberry is also a classic ice cream flavor.
The method used to make this ice cream is inspired by traditional custard bases that use egg yolks to both stabilize and enrich the final product. Unfortunately it requires an ice cream machine to properly churn the base and add air content (also called overrun) to produce the fluffiness we associate with this kind of frozen dessert. This is still probably my favorite method to use as it comes out rich, creamy, and flawless practically every time.

No-machine Matcha Lime Ice Cream
The middle green scoop is matcha lime, a strong and summery combination. While no particularly strong evidence for matcha or lime exists in this universe, lemons are mentioned in other recipes and you can receive a tea set during the Feast of the Winter Star. The tea set seems to imply some kind of tea consumption and citrus is clearly part of the world building. In the end it’s a fun and unusual pairing that is delicious with the other two flavors.
**Editor’s Note: Green tea is officially a product you can make starting with patch 1.4, so I guess this ice cream flavor is canon now!
It’s also a bit easier and less costly to make than the first recipe because all you need is some kind of hand or stand mixer, which most people have. You could even do this by hand with a whisk if you have a strong arm and strong motivation!
And best of all there are only two ingredients for the base: heavy or whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk. This time the air is added by whipping the heavy cream, instead of churning custard. The main drawback to this method is you don’t get quite as complex a flavor as when using the traditional way; however, if you want ice cream faster and with fewer steps, this is still the better way to go.

Dairy-free Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream
The bottom white scoop is a combination of coconut and vanilla. Coconuts are abundant throughout the Calico Desert near the player’s home of Pelican Town, so it makes sense to use them as a base for non-dairy ice cream. There is, however, much less evidence of vanilla use in Stardew Valley. The only time it’s really mentioned is in a painting called Vanilla Villa. Despite the minimal mention I decided to use it in the ice cream because it tastes great with coconut and the other flavors mentioned here.
The ice cream method requires an ice cream machine for churning but no animal dairy; with minimal tweaking it’s easy to make vegan and perfect for those allergic to milk and cream. It does require a bit of effort and either a hand or stand blender to recombine the coconut fat into the liquid, but the payoff is something remarkably close to soft-serve ice cream.

When it comes to great ice cream, cold temperatures and speed are your friends: the faster you bring your base from liquid to solid, the creamier it'll be. In a 2-quart unit, a typical batch of ice cream will take between 18 and 25 minutes to churn.
Bug. If the player parks their horse behind the ice cream stand when nobody is there, they can buy ice cream at any time, during any season. The horse must be parked in the correct spot near the center at the back of the stand.

If you have ever made ice cream, you already know what goes into it, ingredients such as milk, cream, and sugar. But there is one main ingredient that you may not have thought about, probably because you can't see it—air.
Use plenty of fat - A good ice cream base should contain ample fat, usually from dairy like cream, whole milk, or egg yolks. More fat means a smoother texture. Cook the base - Heating the ice cream base deactivates enzymes that can make ice cream icy. Bring the base to 170-180°F.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907 AD) are believed to have been the first to eat “a frozen milk-like confection.” This version was made with cow, goat or buffalo milk that was heated with flour. Camphor, an aromatic substance harvested from evergreen trees, was added to enhance the texture and flavor.
The term dessert can apply to many sweets, such as biscuits, cakes, cookies, custards, gelatins, ice creams, pastries, pies, puddings, macaroons, sweet soups, tarts, and fruit salad (fruit is commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness).
While commercially manufactured ice cream is typically made with pasteurized eggs or egg products, recipes for homemade ice cream often use raw eggs in the base mixture.
