Brown Sugar Cream Base

Brown Sugar Cream Base—rich, caramel-like sweetness blended into a creamy foundation, perfect for creating smooth, indulgent artisan ice cream.

Brown Sugar Cream Base

The sweet, toasty foundation for your next unforgettable flavor.

At Creamarie, we believe that ice cream should be more than just a treat — it should be a craft. And every great craft starts with a solid foundation.

Our Brown Sugar Ice Cream Base is one of our signature recipes. It’s simple, rich, and slightly caramelized — bringing a depth of flavor that white sugar just can’t match. Whether you’re creating a classic scoop or layering in cookies, nuts, swirls, or spices, this brown sugar base gives you a warm and cozy backdrop to build your dream flavor.

Why Brown Sugar?

Brown sugar adds something special. Thanks to its molasses content, it introduces notes of toffee, maple, and caramel that give this base a more complex and cozy taste profile. Compared to traditional white sugar, it feels a little more rustic — in the best way.

It’s the perfect match for fall flavors (like cinnamon, apple, or pumpkin), but it also pairs beautifully with unexpected add-ins like sea salt, espresso, or toasted pecans.

Texture + Technique

This recipe follows our custard-style ice cream base method — meaning it includes egg yolks for a richer texture and smoother mouthfeel. The combination of heavy cream, whole milk, egg yolks, and brown sugar creates an indulgent base that churns beautifully in any home ice cream maker.

Want it dairy-free? You can swap for coconut milk and a thick oat milk — the flavor will still shine through.

This Brown Sugar Ice Cream Base is one of those recipes you’ll come back to again and again. It’s reliable, flexible, and incredibly delicious — just the way we like it here at Creamarie.
