Purposeful Pints at Adirondack Creamery
Along the Adirondack Mountains of New York sits Adirondack Creamery, a family-owned business that stands as a testament to the power of dreams, hard work, and a commitment to quality. Founded by Paul Nasrani, this creamery brings together a passion for ice cream, a dedication to local sourcing, and a desire to share meaningful stories through every flavor.
Paul Nasrani’s journey began in a place quite different from upstate New York, in the bustling world of finance in New York City. But his love for ice cream was rooted in summers spent on a Pennsylvania farm, churning homemade batches with unmatched flavor and freshness. That childhood inspiration never faded. In 2002, Paul began experimenting with ice cream in his tiny Manhattan apartment, sharing his creations with friends and coworkers who couldn’t get enough. Encouraged by their enthusiasm, Paul traded spreadsheets for scoops, learned the art of ice cream production, and eventually launched Adirondack Creamery. His commitment to keeping things simple and authentic became the cornerstone of his brand.
While each ice cream flavor at Adirondack Creamery starts with delicious combinations in mind, they’re also crafted with purpose, weaving together taste and storytelling. Each pint carries a story, whether it’s inspired by family traditions, cultural heritage, or local landmarks. Take Black Mountain Brownie, a rich chocolate ice cream blended with brownie pieces, named for the highest peak on Lake George. Or Syrian Date & Walnut, a nod to the Middle Eastern treat Ma’amoul, paired with a mission to support Syrian refugees. Then there’s Kulfi-Pistachio Cardamom, an homage to the Indian dessert infused with warm, aromatic spices. Other standout flavors, like Whiteface Mint Chip and High Peak Perk, draw inspiration from the Adirondacks and deliver fresh, invigorating twists on classic favorites. Adirondack Creamery also offers limited edition flavors, like Pumpkin Pie in the fall and Peppermint Stick during the holidays, that capture the essence of each season. These flavors go beyond taste—they connect people to places, cultures, and shared experiences.
At Adirondack Creamery, simplicity and sustainability are at the heart of every batch. The ice cream is crafted from a traditional recipe of milk, cream, sugar, and eggs—without artificial stabilizers or additives. Milk and cream are sourced directly from local family farms, ensuring freshness and supporting the regional dairy community. This focus on farm-fresh, locally sourced, and simple ingredients reflects Paul’s belief that the best ice cream starts with the best ingredients. By prioritizing local partnerships, Adirondack Creamery not only creates exceptional ice cream but also reduces its environmental impact and strengthens its connection to the community.
Adirondack Creamery’s mission goes beyond making delicious ice cream. It’s about honoring local farms, supporting community connections, and creating flavors that tell meaningful stories. With flavors that inspire and ingredients you can trust, Adirondack Creamery continues to bring people together, one meaningful scoop at a time.
