Lily’s Handmade Ice Cream
This homegrown ice cream brand known for its playful flavors has expanded from Delray into North Miami Beach and most recently Boynton Beach. The shops, owned by the Gilinsky family, have quickly grown in popularity thanks to their rotating ice cream selections created by flavor architect Ori Gilinsky and his dedication to all-natural, preservative- and additive-free ingredients. Signature scoops include Dusty Monkey, a brown-sugar-infused banana ice cream with Biscoff cookies and the Fairy Floss, a cotton candy ice cream with rainbow sprinkles and frosted Animal Crackers. This month, Ori has debuted the Peppermint Stick, mint ice cream with crushed candy canes.
