artisanal ice cream


Explanation:
Another possibility. It has the same sense as "hand made" but alters the tone, which may be useful for certain contexts. To me "hand made" describes the process, and has some emotive value, but "artisanal" more immediately evokes the idea of a small specialty shop that creates unique specialty products.
