Wisconsin Ice Cream

No Matter How You Scoop It

Wisconsinites love their ice cream!

Nothing screams Wisconsin like a scoop of ice cream. Home to over 40 licensed ice cream plants, our history of producing high-quality ice cream and frozen custard is all thanks to the milk that comes from the more than 5,000 dairy farms that call our state home.

July is National Ice Cream Month!

The third Sunday of July is National Ice Cream Day. It should be no surprise that it lands in the middle of National Ice Cream Month, which is when the rest of the country gets a taste of what it's like to live here in the Dairy State.

The Sundae: A Wisconsin Invention

According to the Wisconsin Historical Society, the ice cream sundae was invented in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, in 1881. It cost a nickel and was only sold on Sundays. By popular demand, the chocolate sauce-topped ice cream sundae soon became available every day and in many flavors!
