Handel's Homemade Ice Cream

Ice cream shop on River Road making its own ice cream fresh, with a rotating flavor list.

Handel's began in Youngstown, Ohio in 1945, where Alice Handel made ice cream in the back of her husband's service station using fruit from the family garden. Making the ice cream on site rather than shipping it in is the model the company still runs on, which is what allows a flavor list that rotates.

Worth knowing

Ice cream's texture is governed by overrun, the proportion of air whipped into the mix: cheap ice cream can be nearly half air, while dense small-batch ice cream carries much less and eats richer as a result. Making it on the premises is what makes a rotating flavor list practical, since a shop shipping product in has to commit much further ahead.
