Scoop School: Crafting Ice Cream & Sorbet Like a Pro

Join KAMA DC for a delicious workshop where food science, bold flavors, and frozen creativity collide.

Step into the delicious world of frozen desserts, a demonstration workshop where food science, creativity, and pure joy come together in every scoop.

This session is split into two flavorful parts: Ice Cream and Sorbet taking you on a guided journey from foundational definitions to the art of crafting balanced, expressive recipes.

You’ll discover what truly makes an ice cream an ice cream: its composition, the role of fats and sugars, how stabilizers behave, and how each element shapes texture and flavor. Then we’ll dive into sorbet: unpacking sugar structures, acids, and the formulas behind that perfect, refreshing finish. Along the way, expect practical examples, troubleshooting tips, and unexpected flavor paths: herb-infused teas, savory wine sorbets designed for oysters or sashimi, and beyond.

You’ll also get to taste ice creams and sorbets inspired by flavors from a variety of cultural communities, bringing global creativity into every scoop.

Whether you’re a curious home cook or a culinary tinkerer, you’ll leave with a much deeper understanding of frozen desserts and the confidence to start creating your own.
