KIRKE’S HOMEMADE ICE CREAM

It’s been 30 years since Kirke’s Homemade Ice Cream began serving up treats in Belmont County, and they’re using the same family recipe to this day. Three years ago, this family-owned spot took 10th place in the statewide Ohio Farm Bureau Ice Cream Battle, and one lick of their Banana Peanut Butter, Coconut Cream Pie or Midnight Caramel Crunch will tell you why. There are 40 flavors to choose from — including not one, but two flavors of cake batter — sold by the ounce rather than scoop, so the only limit is the size of your imagination (and your cone!).
