Creamistry - Customize your Ice Cream

Serving nothing but the freshest ingredients, Creamistry offers several base cream and sorbet opinions including over 40+ flavors and 50+ mix ins and toppings.  Every order is made to order, there is no pre-made containers to scoop from and no chance of stale, freezer burnt ice cream served. 

Disclaimer:  We received no monetary compensation for this post.  Creamistry sponsored our family to try out a variety of ice creams of our choice free of charge in exchange for this post.  All opinions are our own.

Creamistry hand crafts all of your ice cream dreams to order with fresh premium cream, organic cream or non-diary sorbets.  A specially trained creamologist, pours the finest dairy or non-dairy into a large mixing bowl and adds your choice mix ins.  Next, they head over to the specialized creamery mixing station.  Then the magic truly happens, Creamistry starts mixing your ingredients together and sprays in the -321 degree liquid Nitrogen.  As the Nitrogen mixes with the air, it begins to evaporate causing a plume of vapor around the mixer.  The flash freezing process is so cold the cream molecules stay very small without forming ice crystals.  This process creates the softest, creamiest ice cream with amazingly fresh ingredients.  It's like getting hand churned ice cream at Grandmas house without the 2 hour wait and the tired arm from winding the churn.

We all wanted to experience our own unique taste and everyone was excited to order.  Among the choices included coffee premium ice cream with Heath Bar mixed in, Oreo cookies and premium cream with a Kit Kat topping, salted carmel premium ice cream with chocolate chips and pretzels laddened on top and a Dole pineapple sorbet topped with marchino cherries.  Soft and creamy, every flavor was our favorite.  Options included the ability to make your ice cream into a divine shake or add a waffle or brownie to your bowl. 

The ice cream is reasonably priced for the quality you receive.  Big portions are ideal for sharing a large size bowl between friends and the small is perfect for individuals wanting to customize to their own unique tastes.  The ice cream is full of flavor, fresh and silky to eat.  Your won't be disappointed in the experience.  If you are a fan of frozen yogurt, Hawaiian shaved ice or premium hand churned ice creams, you must try Creamistry.

 As part of the offer, the great people at Creamistry wanted to offer our readers the opportunity to win a gift card to try out this incredible ice cream.  Enter to win your chance at winning this gift card and take your family to the newest and freshest ice cream store.

Knott’s Boysenberry Festival 2015 #knottsSpring

Knott’s Berry Farm is celebrating Spring with a Boysenberry Festival.  They are turning the park into a boysenberry paradise complete with live shows and a food fest.  Kids and adults will have the opportunity to participate in a pie eating contest (located in front of the Bird Cage Theater) and baking your own pie tart (food cost may apply).  The food fest includes boysenberry bits, cheese curds, Boysenberry ICEE, boysenberry frappuccino (served at the Gourmet Coffee station) BBQ Chicken and many more open aired barbecue treats that will make the foodie in you say, “Yum, Yum!”  

The park will be filled with Boysenberry plants, food and live shows that will celebrate spring.  The Easter Beagle will be greeting fans and taking pictures with the family all day long.  Last year, we took many photos of our spring day adventure.  Here is just a few of those pictures.  Tasting the different food offerings, cheering on the pie eating contestants and meeting the Easter Beagle made our visit special.  The highlight of our food adventure were the BBQ wings with a Boysenberry dipping sauce.

Music is a very important part of this Spring celebration at the park.  Knott's has added a few opportunities for you and your family to get down and dance all day long.  Peanuts Party in the Park is a great new show with lots of bright fun colors and the Peanuts gang showing off their dancing abilities.  Jammin' in the dark will make everyone get up and dance with DJ Howly.  Lucy's Really Big Spring Show is a great sing-a-long for the tiny tots.  Salsa dancing in the Fiesta Village will have you doing the Cha-Cha-Cha long into the night.  All of the entertainment will leave you feeling excited and inspired.  

Sponsored Giveaway - Enter for a chance to win (2) tickets to Knott's Berry Farm Boysenberry Festival. You must be 18 years of age and live in Southern California. The tickets are only good during the Spring celebrations March 28th-April 12, 2015.
