Why We Chose It: Six great cake flavors, beautiful style, nationwide shipping: Morgenstern's brings it all together for the win.

For many years, Nicholas Morgenstern worked as a pastry chef in some of New York City's finest restaurants, all the while dreaming of someday opening his own ice cream shop. In 2014, his dream was realized. Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream is a modern version of the classic American ice cream parlor, serving a new American style of ice cream that contains no egg yolks and less fat, air, and sugar. The ice cream is dense, creamy, and mildly sweet.

Morgenstern's has six flavors of ice cream cake: Cookies N' Cream, Chocolate, Burnt Honey Vanilla, Mint Chip, Strawberry Vanilla, and Green Tea Pistachio. The cakes are 7 inches in diameter and serve six to eight people. They have a thin cookie crust on the bottom, a layer of crumbles in the middle, and a thin layer of frozen flavored whipped cream around the outside.

Morgenstern's ice cream cakes cost around $120 each, and include free overnight shipping. The company only ships cakes on Tuesdays for overnight delivery the following day. Shipping insurance—which is recommended in case an unexpected delay causes your ice cream cake to melt—is available for an extra $4.

Buy on Noonasicecream.com

Why We Chose It: Mix and match Noona's Asian-inspired flavors to make your own uniquely beautiful creation.

Noona's got started in 2016 when Hannah Bae's toasted rice ice cream won best flavor at a New York City ice cream contest. Noona's is very much in the style of the hip modern craft creamery—milk from a local farm, top-shelf ingredients, vegan options, socially and environmentally conscious—but with a special twist. The company focuses exclusively on Asian-inspired flavors, making use of ingredients like rice, yuzu, green tea, taro, mochi, ginger, and so on.

Noona's has three different ice cream cakes on the menu, but for maximum fun, check out the create-your-own option. You get to choose from four cake flavors—vanilla, black sesame, toasted rice, or banana—along with five ice cream flavors—matcha green tea, toasted rice, golden sesame, black sesame, and yuzu blossom. Noona's gives you two layers of ice cream, so you can select a different flavor in each layer to create interesting flavor combinations. Between the layers of ice cream is a layer of crumble, and the cake is finished off with whipped cream on top.

Each ice cream cake is 6 inches in diameter, serves six to eight people, and costs around $70. You must order at least a week in advance, and Noona's only ships Monday through Wednesday. Shipping is extra.

Why We Chose It: Revival simply has the best dairy-free and vegan ice cream cakes in the game, and they're gluten-free.

Adriana Shuman founded Revival Ice Cream in 2016. Built on a platform of social consciousness, Revival is all about spreading as much joy as possible from the company's shop in Monterey, California. The flavors are seasonal; the ingredients are locally sourced; and the straws are made of paper. The business runs a youth program that teaches kids about the ice cream-making process. And the shop is certified green by the Monterey Bay Area Green Business Program. As the Revival website proclaims "it's more than ice cream...it's a movement."

Revival offers both 5- and 9-inch ice cream cakes. Revival has 14 flavors to choose from; four are vegan (Passion Fruit Mango, Chocolate Hazelnut, Pistachio, and Peanut Butter Chip), and one flavor Bee's Knees comes in dairy and non-dairy options. The 9-inch cake also has a coffee flavor. Both chocolate and vanilla crusts are vegan and gluten-free.
