Anyone know where to purchase ice cream flavorings? Appreciate your help on this.

I use regular extracts available at any store for my ice creams. Or if you're making vanilla ice cream, you can use a vanilla bean or two. Just add the scraped bean to the liquid when you scald it. For chocolate use cocoa powder. For something like peppermint ice cream I use about 1 tsp of extract (not oil) per batch that my ice cream maker will make. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help. I was thinking about the various flavorings used in some of the ice cream shops. The customer picks a flavor and any added ingredients (nuts, cherries, etc) and the custard or soft serve or ice cream (vanilla or chocolate) is added to create a one-of-a-kind treat.

Bubbamom, do you mean you want to offer blend-in creations such as at places like Maggie Moo or Cold Stone Creamery?

Mezz, yes, exactly - - well not exactly, not me, but my daughter and her husband have opened an ice cream and sandwich shop. She's experimented late this summer with various fruit mix-in's and asked me where to get some of the flavorings we encountered while doing some "research"
