Van Leeuwen Holiday Ice Cream (New York, NY)

23rd and Broadway

For the holidays we stopped by New York City’s Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream, to learn about their business and make ice cream with husband and wife team Laura O’Neil & Ben Van Leeuwen. After much deliberation we decided that eggnog would be the perfect flavor for the holidays!

Big thanks to The Brooklyn Kitchen for sponsoring this episode, and hooking us up with some ice cream machines to giveaway as part of our Holiday Gift Contest.

You can download the Van Leeuwen Eggnog Ice Cream Recipe here. If you make it, send us some pictures to post to the site.

Learn more about Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream online or on twitter.

And be sure to check out The Brooklyn Kitchen!

Happy Holidays!

Question of the week:

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Post a comment below.

  • If I had to live on one ice cream flavor alone, it would be Mint Chocolate Chip hands down! Hope you had a great Christmas.
  • Name
    honey lavendar (il lab)
    salted caramel pretzel, green tea pistachio (general greene)
  • Oh my my, Eggnog ice cream, Awesome! ( I really like eggnog ).

    My favorite Ice Cream flavor is chocolate but anything with fruit in it is a close second place.
