Creating the Product
In 1972, Earl King started a tradition that has continued for more than 50 years. King’s Homemade Ice Cream Shops remains a family-run business dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of ice cream making.
Our ice cream and frozen yogurts are handcrafted in Milton, Delaware, one delicious batch at a time. Both our Milton and Lewes locations delight customers with a wide variety of desserts, from cones and shakes to sundaes and half gallons to take home.
On any summer evening, a visit to King’s shows why it has become a community tradition. Crowds gather outside both shops, catching up with friends and family while waiting for what many know as the Best Ice Cream on the Eastern Shore.
*Bulk ice cream and frozen yogurt are available for commercial sale.
Making the Cream!
Fresh butterfat milk from a local dairy is poured into two 10-gallon batch freezers.
As the mixture begins to freeze, premium flavorings, fruits, nuts, and candies are blended in. King’s uses only the highest quality ingredients to ensure consistency and flavor in every batch.
Ice cream and frozen yogurt are carefully drawn from the freezers at precisely the right moment to maintain quality, texture, and consistent weight across every batch. The finished product is then placed in a hardening room for 24 hours before being served to customers.
