What makes our ice cream special
Quality Ingredients & Smooth Texture
Great Value Ice Cream starts with a real dairy cream base that delivers the smooth, creamy texture you expect from premium ice cream. We source our dairy from trusted suppliers and blend it with carefully selected flavor ingredients to create consistent quality in every 1600-gram tub. Our ice cream contains no artificial growth hormones (rBST-free dairy), giving you peace of mind about what your family consumes.
The manufacturing process incorporates optimal air content to achieve that perfect scoop-ability and mouthfeel. Unlike some value brands that rely on excessive fillers or air, our formula maintains its creamy consistency from first scoop to last. The result is ice cream that competes with name brands in blind taste tests while offering significant savings at the checkout.
Storage & Serving Guidelines
Store your Great Value Ice Cream at 0°F (-18°C) or below for optimal texture and flavor preservation. The 1600-gram rectangular tub fits efficiently in most freezer compartments, including side-by-side and top-freezer models. Keep the lid tightly sealed between servings to prevent freezer burn and maintain moisture content.
For the best scooping experience, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes after removing from the freezer. This brief tempering period softens the texture slightly, making it easier to scoop without melting the entire container. Use a sturdy ice cream scoop dipped in warm water for clean, round servings.
Serving Suggestions & Versatile Uses
Great Value Ice Cream serves as the perfect foundation for countless dessert creations. Create classic ice cream sundaes with your favorite syrups, whipped cream, and cherries. Layer it into homemade ice cream cakes or sandwich it between cookies for custom ice cream sandwiches. The vanilla variety pairs exceptionally well with warm fruit pies and cobblers.
Blend any flavor with milk to create thick, creamy milkshakes that rival those from ice cream shops. Add fresh fruit, nuts, or candy pieces to create your own custom flavor combinations. The chocolate ice cream works beautifully in affogato preparations – simply pour hot espresso over a scoop for an elegant Italian-style dessert.
