Our Story
We’re a mother-and-daughter team who are passionate about health. And, we love, love, love ice cream.
We were truly sad to learn how few genuinely high-quality ice cream options there are out there – treats that taste amazing AND aren’t full of things we don’t really want to put in our bodies.
So we set out to create our own healthier version of traditional ice cream, driven to make something extraordinary, with all of the flavor and none of the guilt.
The Perfect Drop of Inspiration
While experimenting with natural sweeteners, we discovered that first-tap maple syrup – the lightest and finest syrup tapped at the start of the season – gave our ice cream just the right sweetness, but without a maple taste.
We knew we had stumbled on something special.
And voilá, First Tap Ice Cream was born.
Ice Cream Shouldn’t Be Complicated
Most ice cream in the freezer aisle today isn’t made the way it used to be. To extend shelf life and manipulate texture, many brands rely on artificial ingredients, gums, and ultra-processed sweeteners.
The ingredient lists get longer.
The flavors get louder.
Real quality gets sacrificed for convenience.
But First Tap is different.
Premium, Healthy Ingredients
First Tap Ice Cream is sweetened solely with 100% pure first tap maple syrup and is free of any refined sugars, stabilizers, gums, or artificial flavors or sweeteners. Made with A2 milk and other whole, real, locally-sourced ingredients, our hand-made ice cream will satisfy your sweet tooth and your expectations of excellence with every bite.
