Don and Katy Kilwin: Family Recipes Since 1947

Kilwins in Dallas – Cypress Waters is dedicated to keeping the memory of our founders, Don and Katy Kilwin, alive. Back in the 1940s, Katy and Don opened Kilwins and later realized their legacy would extend far beyond Michigan and the next few decades. We have been following in their footsteps for over 75 years, following their traditional candy-making process. To make the kinds of desserts we do, we need to maintain strict, ultra-high standards. 

Luckily, quality control is easy for us since we make everything by hand. Our Mackinac Island Fudge (one of Don and Katy’s original recipes still in use today) is made on a marble tabletop just like Don intended. Chocolate Mackinac Island Fudge is probably our most famous, but we invite you to try a few more.

Texas is known for local foods and contributions to restaurants and recipe books all over the world. To hold our own and make our fellow Dallas – Cypress Waters residents proud, we use the best ingredients, near and far. For example, our creams and milk come from local farms while we travel to our go-to locations in Mexico, Asia, Hawaii, and more for our sea salt.

We’re More Than Chocolate: Your Favorite Ice Cream Store in Dallas – Cypress Waters

When we eat Kilwins ice cream on a park bench on a relaxed summer afternoon, we take time to appreciate the little things. The smooth, creamy texture is different from any other scoop you’ve had before. After one cup, nothing will compare again. We don’t just make our ice cream from scratch—we also design our own custom ice cream tubs. When you walk into our Dallas – Cypress Waters ice cream store, it’s impossible to miss the rows of ice cream with their bright and vibrant colors.

Sometimes, we know exactly what we want, and sometimes, we need a second or two to think. In that case, take the opportunity to ask our staff for a sample. You never know what your new favorite flavor will be, especially because we’re always creating new ones.

It can get hot in Dallas – Cypress Waters, Texas. On those scorching hot days when it feels like you could cook an egg on the pavement, sometimes it seems like the only cure is a big helping of ice cream. In fact, we’re dedicated to staying cool at Kilwins. We only transport batches to our Dallas – Cypress Waters ice cream store in our own trucks so we can thoroughly monitor the temperature. Too hot and it melts, too cold and it gets freezer burn. Neither of those meets our standard of perfection. 

The Kilwins Ice Cream Recipe

Our ice cream recipe dates back to 1985, and with one scoop, it’s easy to see why we’re still faithful to it. It has that kind of richness that can only be found in ice cream made with local dairy for a base we fondly call “Super Premium.” Like our chocolates, we insist on using the finest ingredients. Gourmet chocolate, toasted nuts, and fudge (some of Don Kilwin’s original recipe) are just a few of the toppings you can customize your sundae with—the list goes on and on.

Our Kosher-certified ice cream is a tribute to tradition and imagination. We’re constantly dreaming up new flavors for every season, holiday, and those “just because” moments. Grab a waffle cone (made fresh in-house) and stroll down South Prospect Avenue to soak up the sun and enjoy your day. 

Kilwins is more than a chocolate store—it’s the memories we make and the experiences that bring us closer together. Nothing makes us happier than families coming in and talking about how their grandparents introduced them to Kilwins, as they now do the same for their loved ones.

What Kilwins Means to Our Dallas – Cypress Waters Chocolate Store

For something to last generations, it has to mean something. One of the wonderful things about Kilwins is that it can mean something a little different to everyone who walks away with our signature boxes, hand-crafted truffles, or a candy apple. 

To some people, Kilwins means taking an ice cream cone around the Paddock Shops for a much-needed treat after a long, hot day. To others, maybe Kilwins was a go-to spot for holidays, bringing boxed chocolates and caramel corn to family gatherings. At the end of the day, sweets like this become more than candy: They are our community, family, and friends. What could be better than that?

To create that kind of spirit, we work hard to make shopping easy and fun. 

Our chocolatiers train in the art of making desserts, from hand-dipping caramel apples to mixing our secret chocolate formula and beyond. Of course, besides attention to detail when working with our traditional copper kettles or delivering our temp-controlled ice cream, we are dedicated to our customers. 

The care we show in the Kilwins Kitchen doesn’t end when the oven timer goes off. We bring that same energy to everyone who walks through our Dallas – Cypress Waters doors, calls us on the phone, or places an order.
