The scoop of happiness

We are not really in the ice cream business. We are in the business of the ten minutes after somebody hands you one. Everything here is churned in small batches, in Accra, out of things that grew here — and if a flavour stops being fun to make we stop making it.

From Sundae, with love

Eight of them, all year

Flavours, always

A pale cream scoop of tigernut ice cream curling out of a metal scoop

Milk, cane sugar, fruit that was in a market this week, and whatever the flavour is named after. That is the whole list. No stabiliser, no powder, nothing coloured that did not grow. It is also why a sealed tub keeps for three weeks rather than a year.

Milk from farms we have been to

Flavours nobody else is making

Churned by hand, every morning

Milk, cocoa and fresh fruit laid out on a steel bench before a batch

Scoop of praise

Four hands holding up pastel green, orange, pink and blue cones against a yellow wall

“I hid a tub of the sobolo behind the frozen tilapia and my sister found it in four days. I need a better hiding place.”

Afia Owusu

Labone

Two friends standing side by side, each holding a waffle cone in both hands

“The van reached my office at four on a Friday. Nobody in that building did any more work, and I am the one who ordered it.”

Kwabena Asare

Dansoman

A close crop of coloured sprinkles filling the whole frame

“Kelewele in ice cream sounded like a dare. Now it is the only one I order, and I have stopped apologising for it.”

Naa Adjeley Quartey

Teshie

Four loaded milkshakes in glass jars with striped paper straws, side by side

“I have been eating ice cream in Accra since 1984. This is the first one that tastes like somebody in Accra made it.”

Yaw Boateng

Ridge

Three empty waffle cones stacked into one pink paper wrap on a pale ground

“They opened in Adum and my Saturdays have been ruined in the nicest possible way. Two scoops, walk to the market, repeat.”

Things we wrote down

Short pieces about milk, mangoes and getting a frozen thing across Accra in one piece.

26 March · Kitchen

A sorbet beats cream in this heat

Fat gives up before water does, which is why the sobolo gets to Adenta in one piece and the tigernut travels in a cool box.

How to feed thirty children ice cream

A birthday, a scoop cart and thirty small people with strong opinions. What we have learned about how much is enough.

Wooden market crates piled with yellow and purple plums and red nectarines at a fruit stall

Nine months looking for one mango

We tasted everything between Somanya and Techiman before a single crate of it was allowed anywhere near a tub.
