If you’re not yet familiar with Coolhaus yet — well, you should get familiar, stat. Because ’tis the season…for ice cream, and Coolhaus has the sweet stuff in spades. And is there anything better than ice cream? Why yes, there is: Ice cream made by a woman-founded company led by Natasha Case and her wife Freya Estreller. The pair live in Los Angeles and co-helm Coolhaus, which they launched more than a decade ago because they “did not feel represented by any of the dessert brands on shelves… not as Millennials, not as women, and definitely not as gay women,” Case and Estreller explain.
These days, when the entrepreneurs aren’t building their ice cream empire, they’re in child-chasing mode as moms of two: 3-year-old Remy, and brand-new baby Nico, who was just born in April and whom Case says is “a very sweet and pondering little lady.” We caught up with Case to pick her brain about the products (and snack hacks) she relies on to make it all work — momming, ice-creaming, and all. And she’s got some good ones (with a few surprises thrown in).
