After releasing Bowerman’s Blueberry Donut and Sweetie-licious Pie Surprise earlier this summer, we’re excited to announce we’ve teamed up with Ferris Coffee & Nut Co. to create our third and final flavor in this year’s Michigan Artisan Collection: Ferris Coffee Caramel Cold Brew. This flavor features Ferris Coffee & Nut Co.’s Nitro Cold Brew and swirls of caramel butter fudge—a winning flavor combination sure to please coffee lovers everywhere! We regularly hear requests from fans looking for a coffee-flavored ice cream, and the Michigan Artisan Collection enabled us to try different coffee combinations to highlight bold flavors in a sweet new way. As a specialty coffee and nut roaster, Ferris Coffee & Nut Co. strives to craft beverages that all coffee-drinkers will enjoy. Our companies…

The second Michigan Artisan Collection flavor, Sweetie-licious Pie Surprise, hit select scoop shops on Aug. 17. Sweetie-licious owner Linda Hundt joined Morgan, our flavor creator, in studio at Fox 17 to share a special introductory taste of the flavor. It was a hit!

We loved all the excitement we received around Bowerman’s Blueberry Donut, and are thrilled to announce we’ve partnered with Sweetie-licious Bakery, a multi-time National Pie Championship winner with locations in Dewitt and Grand Rapids, to create the second delicious flavor in our Michigan Artisan Collection: Sweetie-licious Pie Surprise! To create this flavor, we combined our chocolate ice cream with bursts of filling from Sweetie-licious’ popular Cherry, Blueberry, Raspberry – or Cherry Berry Berry – pie, and added a special mystery ingredient used in one of our regular all-season flavors. It was incredibly fun to make and we think it’s just as fun to eat! Our team was immediately impressed with the commitment to quality we found from Sweetie-licious Bakery. The Cherry Berry Berry pie was…

It’s finally here! We are excited to roll out Bowerman’s Blueberry Donut, the first flavor in our Michigan Artisan Collection! This small batch flavor pairs our traditional vanilla ice cream with a Michigan blueberry swirl and chunks of blueberry donut straight from Bowerman Blueberry Farm in Holland, Michigan. While Michigan may be well-known for its cherry production, it also stands among the top producers for blueberries with 100 million pounds of blueberries produced every year — from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron and into the Upper Peninsula. We wanted to create more than a blueberry ice cream, and that’s where our partner for this flavor, Bowerman Blueberries, comes into the picture. Bowerman Blueberries makes a famous blueberry donut, baked fresh each day and sold in…

Summer is officially here! To celebrate, our flavor creator, Morgan, recently gave Fox 17 the scoop on two newly released Limited Edition flavors you’re likely to see on store shelves this summer: Brownie Batter Cookie Dough and Strawberry Shortcake. Brownie Batter Cookie Dough is new to our Limited Edition lineup this year and proving to be a pretty popular flavor with Hudsonville Ice Cream fans. We knew it would be a hit with customers, but we didn’t expect for it to fly off shelves nearly as fast as it has. If you haven’t had a chance to try this incredible flavor yet, don’t worry. We’re making more! Be sure to stay tuned for more information on when the next batch will be available in stores. Since Strawberry Shortcake has been a favorite with fans…

Now we know what Chicagoans are made of: ice cream. A full 98% of those surveyed* indulge in the creamy, cold confection. But that’s where their similarities end. Respondents had definite opinions on cones versus cups. Favorite flavors. Best pairings. Some even revealed their dubious grasp of how the stuff is made. (Fact: 10% agreed that cows need to be chilled when they are milked for ice cream.) For nearly a century, Hudsonville Ice Cream of Holland, Michigan has been making some of the finest artisanal ice cream in the Upper Midwest. Now that they’re bringing their 50+ flavors of genuine goodness to the Chicago market, they needed insights on local cravings, generational preferences – and even sacred cows, so to speak. CHECK OUT THE…

Last year, we launched our Flavor of Detroit contest and called on fans to help us create an ice cream flavor inspired by the city of Detroit. This year, we’re expanding our search and asking for ice cream lovers across the state of Michigan to help us come up with not one, but three new flavors for a special small batch we’re calling our Michigan Artisan Collection.

People entering our sweepstakes will have the ability to submit their flavor suggestion, and an…
