Velvet Ice Cream Unveils Fall-Inspired Creations - Indianapolis News | Weather in Indiana

Velvet Ice Cream is showcasing its latest fall-inspired creations. The company, known for its nostalgic appeal and Ohio roots, brought a selection of treats, including two signature sundaes. “We’re turning our vanilla into a S’mores sundae and we also have a Pumpkin Dump Cake sundae,” explained Velvet Ice Cream Vice President Joanne Dager.

Dager, a fourth-generation member of the Velvet Ice Cream family, shared his personal connection to the brand. “I grew up with it. Every summer, I worked at the ice cream shop or in the production room. It was always a fun thing to do,” she said. The company is celebrating its 110th year in business, and Dager emphasized the importance of tradition and community.

Velvet Ice Cream is promoting its seasonal flavors and partnerships with local retailers like Giant Eagle, Safeway and local ice cream shops like Alexander’s on the Square in Noblesville, which hand-dip Velvet’s products. Additionally, Dager highlighted its unique pumpkin flavor, made with real pumpkin puree and pieces of pie, as well as the company’s initiative to give back during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Along with the sundae demonstrations, Velvet Ice Cream also featured festive floats made with peppermint ice cream and iced coffee, plus a trio of vanilla combined with orange and cranberry flavors.

Located in Utica, Ohio, Velvet Ice Cream’s Ye Old Mill is open to the public from May through October, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the grounds, have lunch and choose from 40 flavors of ice cream. The company’s annual Ice Cream Festival takes place every Memorial Day weekend, attracting families for live entertainment, food and local vendors.
