What flavors are in Moon Mist ice cream?

Moon Mist is made from a blend of banana cream, bubble gum, and grape flavors. Each flavor stands on its own but also blends smoothly with the others, creating a unique and colorful scoop.

Where did Moon Mist ice cream originate?

Moon Mist is a regional favorite from the East Coast of Canada. It is especially popular in Nova Scotia, where local dairies have made it a household name.

Can I use flavor extracts instead of oils?

This recipe uses flavor oils because they offer the exact taste needed and are more concentrated than extracts. While you can try extracts, they may not match the signature Moon Mist flavor as closely. Flavor oils like those from Lorann are considered the best choice for this type of recipe.
