Dubbed “the first American Flapper” by her husband F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda (Sayre) Fitzgerald did whatever she wanted to - consequences be damned. With Scott along for the wild ride, Zelda reeled and roared through the Jazz age and the 1920s.

From her free spirit arises the Zelda Collection, a super-limited-edition set of ice creams made with top-shelf ingredients from around the world and homegrown attention to details. Your spirited companion and guide is Zelda, a woman who truly embodied an American age of living in the moment. The collection takes you from Zelda’s childhood home in Alabama, to New York, St. Paul, Paris, and on through the Roaring Twenties.

BLACKBERRIES + SWEET CREAM
A love letter from Zelda: grass-grazed Ohio sweet cream with swirls of sweet-tart blackberry sauce made from scratch in our kitchen.

COGNAC + MARMALADE
Brandy-spiked grass-grazed cream with a from-scratch marmalade of fresh, imported Seville oranges. A decadent ice cream take on the classic Sidecar cocktail.

DARK CHOCOLATE RYE
The Roaring Twenties party rolls on: Dark Chocolate ice cream spiked with Middle West Spirits’ fult-tilt Oyo White Rye whiskey and caraway (as in The Great Gatsby’s Nick Carraway).

LOVELESS BISCUITS + PEACH JAM
Pieces of from-scratch, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits with our own peach jam in grass-grazed cream. Inspired by Zelda—her favorite treat was biscuits and peach jam—and Nashville’s Loveless Cafe, whose biscuits are the best in the land.

Hut on Sleds: “The hut comes to life when the enormous shutter on the northeast facade winches open to form an awning, revealing two-story high steel-framed glass doors that form the main entrance. The hut then transforms into a sun drenched haven, opening up to the views of the surf and the distant Mercury Islands. The mezzanine bedroom is accessed by climbing a wall-mounted ladder through a closeable hatch, it shares the same view as downstairs through the huge glass doors. Climb the ladder again and you arrive on a roof terrace which catches rainwater for the gravity tanks behind.”

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

1 1/2 cups flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 cup organic whole milk

1 organic egg

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

1 cup homemade ricotta cheese

1/3 cup + 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

Combine the flour, baking powder, white sugar and salt in a bowl and whisk lightly a few times to mix. In a large bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla, lemon juice and zest and whisk to mix. Add in the ricotta cheese and continue to mix. It’s okay to have clumps of ricotta cheese.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Whisk lightly until combined or you see just a few traces of flour. Do not over mix or you will get tough pancakes. The batter will be thicker and a little clumpy from the cheese.

Over medium heat, melt some butter in a pan and let it brown just a little. Add in 1/2 cup of the batter and let it become a nice golden brown before flipping!

Top with organic maple syrup, a little lemon zest and some powdered sugar.
