In the summer heat of 1945, Alice Handel created the sweetest of legacies in Youngstown, Ohio. Using fresh fruit from her backyard garden and her own personal recipes, Alice lovingly made ice cream that quickly became a neighborhood favorite. Her first flavor was strawberry. Handel’s, and a commitment to quality, was born.

To this day, Handel’s upholds the traditions Alice started all those years ago. From making each batch fresh daily to using her original methods and recipes, they are still sharing our homemade ice cream and serving the communities we love so much one scoop at a time.

Piled high in a cone or packed into a pint, you’ll want to scoop up your favorites before they’re gone. Don’t worry, though. They will always make more tomorrow.

Your local store has 48 of these flavors every day. Check their list to see which ones they currently offer.

They use an abundance of only the best ingredients available and are proud to be recognized as the #1 ice cream in the world.
