eCreamery is not your standard internet store. I have yet to try it, but it seems like a cool idea.

Design your own ice cream!

The hitch is that overnight shipping is $29.95. You have to ship it fast because they pack it with dry ice and it only stays cold a few days.

Another gotcha is that you have to buy a half gallon. To make it nearly cost effective you have to order a full gallon, but then you have to eat that gallon!

I typically buy a pint of ice cream every week or so in the summer when a cold dish of ice cream is just the right thing.

I blog this because more than once I’ve gone through and designed the perfect ice cream, but bailed out when I saw the price. One of these days I will go all the way and get a gallon of Erica’s Surprise in the mail a day or two later.
