Did you know that many major ice cream brands use edible antifreeze and long lists of chemicals in their products?

In this episode of Local Legends of the Flint Hills, Kyle Powers sits down with Karen and Darren of Flint Hills Pints to discuss how they are bringing real, high-quality ice cream back to Kansas. Based in Alma, Kansas, Flint Hills Pints started as a COVID-era project that quickly exploded into a local sensation. Karen and Darren share the fascinating story of how they developed their signature five-ingredient base using local dairy and nearly 1,000 eggs a week from nearby farms. You will learn about the meticulous three-day process required to make a single pint and why they refuse to use artificial stabilizers or fillers. The duo also dives into their most unique offerings, including freeze-dried space ice cream and custom flavors ranging from cranberry tequila to jalapeño. Whether they are serving students at K-State or providing treats for local weddings, their commitment to farm-to-freezer quality is what sets them apart. They also share valuable advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and discuss their exciting new storefront opening in Alma.
