Climb Ice Cream: A Journey from Kitchen Dreams to Sweet Reality

Born in the heart of JoJo’s kitchen in July 2024, Climb Ice Cream began as a passion project fueled by a lifetime of global exploration and climbing adventures. Having journeyed across continents, JoJo curated a repertoire of the world’s most exceptional ice cream flavors, determined to bring these artisanal creations to Orange County. This vision sparked the birth of her test kitchen, where she uncovered a simple truth: extraordinary ice cream demands nothing less than fresh, whole ingredients, premium flavors, and handcrafted mix-ins. By September 2024, JoJo’s kitchen transformed into a hub of community and creativity. She hosted intimate tasting parties, inviting friends and neighbors to share honest feedback on textures, flavors, and innovations. Word spread like wildfire—what began as casual gatherings soon drew crowds of over 50 eager guests. Her “Taste Testers” clamored for pints to take home of her Ube Chocolate Chip, The Approach and Key Climb Pie.  JoJo’s two passions: Rock/Ice Climbing and Ice Cream became one… Climb Ice Cream. 

For JoJo, this venture is more than a business; it’s the culmination of a lifelong dream to share joy through dessert. And just like her signature Key Climb Pie ice cream—a creamy blend of tangy key lime and buttery graham cracker swirls—Climb Ice Cream balances bold ambition with the warmth of home. With a foundation built on quality, community, and relentless passion, Climb Ice Cream is poised to become Orange County’s next beloved artisanal staple—and this is only the beginning.
