Ample Hills Creamery was started in 2010 in a tiny shop on Vanderbilt Avenue in Brooklyn. From there it grew a cult-like following and rapidly expanded to more than a dozen locations including one in Disney World after gaining a fan in Disney CEO Robert Iger. They gained acclaim by being named as one of Oprah’s favorites serving up flavors like Salt’d Crack Caramel, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake and Nonna D’s Oatmeal Lace.
