The sale of dairy products at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Dairy Store began in 1917 with all-you-can-drink milk for a nickel — but only for customers who brought their own glass.

More than 100 years later, the Dairy Store has replaced the milk offer with a lineup of ice cream treats and cheeses developed and produced by faculty, staff and students. And, just so you know, there's no longer a need to bring your own cup, dish or cone.

The store — which has a recipe catalog of more than 100 flavors — serves more than 100,000 people annually and dishes up 2 tons of ice cream during the Nebraska State Fair alone.

In celebration of National Ice Cream month in July, here’s a list of the Dairy Store’s top five flavors scooped annually — in no particular order. Each flavor is available to taste today.

Scarlet and Cream

The Dairy Store's flagship flavor is a vanilla base enhanced with a delicious Go Big Red strawberry swirl. For the university 150th year celebration, Scarlet and Cream has added chocolate chips and was renamed Nifty 150.

The Nebraska Dairy Store boasts an ever-growing collection of more than 100 recipes.

Mocha Madness

A sweet, coffee-flavored ice cream with chunks of English butter toffee and rich dark chocolate chips. The flavor is similar to the decadence of the Dairy Store’s Cappuccino Chocolate Chip.
