Production Disruption Alert

9/4/2026 - Due to a recent production disruption at Cornell Dairy, some residential dining locations will temporarily offer ice cream from an alternate supplier while Cornell Dairy rebuilds inventory. We appreciate your patience and look forward to returning to a full selection of Cornell Dairy flavors in the coming weeks.

Placing an order: 

Submit your order at least 3 business days before the event using the form below.  Enter the quantity of each item you would like to purchase, then click on the Submit button at the bottom of the form.  Within 24 business hours you will receive an order confirmation from a Dairy staff member.  Invoices will be sent a few days prior to your event.  This form will NOT calculate the total amount due but the total will be included on the invoice.

Important notes:

  1. We do our best to keep the order form up to date; however, if a flavor you order is out of stock, we will notify you ASAP and will work with you to amend your order to make sure you have the amount of ice cream you need for your event.
  2. If you require a delivery, you will need to work directly with Red Runner to coordinate them picking up product from the Dairy and delivering to you.  https://fcs.cornell.edu/departments/transportation-delivery-services/delivery-services/courier-service
  3. It is your responsibility to keep the products cold and/or frozen between the delivery time and event start time.  
  4. For your convenience, we offer cooler rentals and dry ice.  Ice cream will NOT remain frozen with regular ice in a cooler, you must use dry ice. If Red Runner is delivering to you, be sure to schedule the return of the coolers, too.
  5. If you are ordering dry ice, plan on needing 2-3 lbs. per hour/per cooler, to keep ice cream frozen.
  6. 8oz cups and pints of ice cream will remain frozen for about 3-10 minutes at room temperature.
  7. 3-gallon tubs must be tempered for about 1-2 hours before the ice cream is soft enough to scoop. We recommend tempering the 3-gallon tubs in a refrigerator to ensure an even softening of the ice cream (i.e., if tempered at room temperature, the ice cream close to the outside of the tub will become soupy and the middle of the tub will still be solid).
