Amy’s Ice Creams It’s impossible to talk about
ice cream in Austin without mentioning Amy’s. After all, in 1984, Amy Simmons was
the first ice cream shop owner to begin experimenting with creative flavors in the city. Now the company churns more than 350 varieties of ice cream and fruit ice that rotate through multiple shops around town— and are served with flair by trick-wielding scoopers. Inside the colorful shops, you’ll find boozy varieties, like Tito’s the Dude (made with sweet cream, Tito’s vodka and Kahlua), and signature flavors like Mexican vanilla—not to mention a sizable selection of toppings.
first liquid-nitrogen ice cream shop from sisters Ashley and Christina Cheng, begins with non-GMO, hormone-free, grass-fed dairy from Liberty Dairy Farms in Hico, Texas, plus fair-trade chocolate and organic, local produce. Each serving is spun to order with liquid nitrogen, which produces more condensed ice crystals, resulting in a smooth, ultra-fresh frozen dessert. Christina, a trained pastry chef, incorporates her expertise into toppings like citrus confetti, corn- cookie crumble, caramel-popcorn sprinkles, Earl Grey–shortbread crumble and Meyer lemon curd.
