We scream for ice cream, but we're also chocoholics, so why not immerse yourself in a deliciously sweet world of indulgence, living out your very own "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" dream at New York Times favorite, Raaka Chocolate, an award winning chocolatier in Brooklyn.
Grab your $55 pulse (a $106 value) for a Hand-Churned Vegan Ice Cream Making Class. You will learn about the science and technique behind homemade ice cream, create two pints of unroasted double dark chocolate ice cream with a selection of toppings (all gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan), enjoy a chocolate tasting, and make your own fresh waffle cones!
Your one-of-a-kind ice cream experience starts with the ins and outs of making homemade ice cream.... and ends with you taking home two bespoke, hand-crafted pints of your delicious creation!
Whether you adore the chill, or hit the sweet spot via chocolate bars, their cacao, sourced from the Dominican Republic, Tanzania, and Uganda, supports healthy communities and sustainability.
From tasting, making, decorating, and of course, savoring, a day spent at Raaka is a magical treat for the taste buds!
Located in Brooklyn, the Raaka Chocolate factory is the home of indulgence with a passionate history. When Founder Ryan Cheney was introduced to raw chocolate on a beach in Thailand, it was love at first bite. He mastered the bean-to-bar basics, teamed up with friend & fellow gastronome Nate Hodge, and Raaka Chocolate was born.
Raaka builds each artisanal creation from scratch with single-origin cocoa in its Brooklyn factory. Creative methods range from steaming cacao nibs over simmering red wine and aging cacao in bourbon casks to making bars with whole coconut shreds, smoked chai, or ghost peppers. Raaka always brings out the best in each bean.
If you want to cool off with something sensational all summer, the ice cream making class, give it a whirl! Make your own batch of delicious, unroasted double chocolate ice cream, using their in-house vegan ice cream base. They'll talk you through the ins and outs of the science and technique, all before you combine the ingredients, adding in toppings like chocolate chips and crushed waffle cone pieces.
From there, you'll hand churn your ice cream with their old fashioned hand crank ice cream churners. They'll take you through a chocolate tasting in the downtime, and you'll go home with two pints of your own delicious creation!

"Got a chance to make my own chocolate ice cream at Raaka Chocolate. Really fun experience and I walked away with 2 pints of the ice cream that I made."
"Got a pulsd for the chocolate making class and was very impressed. You really get to learn all of the details of how they make their chocolate and the history of how they got started. Then you get to pour and flavor 3 of your own bars, which alone are worth the price of admission."
"I did the chocolate-making class that includes a tour of the factory. It was a really great experience... We learned all about chocolate, and we even made our own chocolate bars. Plus got to taste samples and develop our taste buds a bit!"
