Show moreAt Murphy’s we make real Irish ice cream - from scratch. We have been making it naturally, locally and truthfully in Dingle since 2000. Good ice cream is about feeling good and we want to make memorable flavours that put a smile on your face. We don’t use colourings, flavourings or powdered milk - we prefer the real thing - and that starts with Kerry cow milk, fresh from the farm, lots of local cream, free range eggs and organic sugar. Then we toast, simmer, bake and extract real ingredients. We caramelize McCambridges brown bread for our Irish Brown Bread ice cream; we add Teelings small batch whiskey to make our Chocolate Whiskey ice cream. We’re so fussy we even make our own sea salt from Dingle sea water for our Dingle Sea Salt ice cream. We do all this to make it hopefully the best ice cream you’ve ever tasted. Most of all we make it to be enjoyed, shared and savoured.
