The shop’s latest two concoctions are called The Light Side and The Dark Side and will be sold exclusively [online](http://www.amplehills.com/products/star-wars) in four packs of collectible containers with original artwork designed by Ample Hills Creamery’s Art Director, Lauren Kaelin. “As a sci-fi writer in my past professional life, and a longtime _Star Wars_ fan, this is a dream collaboration,” Brian Smith, who co-owns Ample Hills Creamery with his wife, Jackie Cuscuna, said in a statement. “And to be able to work with Lucasfilm and Disney Consumer Products to create new ice cream flavors that represent the two sides of The Force… that might just be the coolest thing we’ve ever done.” The Light Side flavor is a bright marshmallow ice cream with homemade crispie clusters, as well as a smattering of handmade cocoa crispies, and The Dark Side is an ultra-dark chocolate ice cream with espresso fudge brownies, cocoa crispies and white chocolate pearls. So, where do your true Force allegiances lie? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4131311/star-wars-ice-cream-force-light-side-dark-side/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4131311/star-wars-ice-cream-force-light-side-dark-side/"},"headline":"These Star Wars Ice Cream Flavors Will Reveal What Side of the Force You Are On","datePublished":"2015-12-01T19:51:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:15.771Z","description":"Eat or eat not.
