Since 1936 Purity has been the "Ice cream of the Finger Lakes". Purity makes their ice cream with local high quality natural ingredients. Purity uses milk and heavy cream from the family owned and managed Byrne Dairy in Syracuse to make their ice cream. Wilbur's chocolate is used in all of Purity's chocolate ice creams. Wilbur's calabo chocolate chunks are used in the bittersweet, mint chip and mocha chip ice creams. The other chocolate ice cream creations contain Wilbur's 22% cocoa powder. Wilbur's 22% cocoa powder gives the chocolate an intense flavor mellowed by a higher cocoa butter level. Purity also uses Gimme Coffee to make their Gimme mocha fudge, mocha chip, Sleepers awake and the all nighter ice creams. Purity ice creams have a butterfat content around 13%. This 1951 Ithaca store is Purity's only stand alone location. This Purity also makes fresh muffins and Johnny Applestix, which are hot Applestix tossed in cinnamon and sugar served with a dipping sauce. The ginger and root-beer floats are made with local Ithaca brands. They also offer Boston's, Hurricanes and Monsters. A Boston is a milkshake with a sundae on top. A Hurricane is a thick shake with your choice of candy infusion and a Monster is a 44oz. milkshake. I didn't get the monster, but I did enjoy an amazing vanilla shake. Enjoy some excellent Purity ice cream in the town where the ice cream sundae was invented, Ithaca, New York. Note: On weekends the local police force usually sets up a speed trap across from this Purity store.
