HHC is short for our name "Heavenly Hash Creamery".
Heavenly Hash Creamery Ice Cream , was created by an oncology nurse specializing in the care and treatment of persons dealing with the effects of cancer and their treatments. Patients often experience extreme weight loss and prolonged healing due to their illness. We have developed flavor profiles intended to stimulate the salivary glands in patients that have difficulty tasting and/or swallowing foods. To support weight management and nutritional needs, our products contain large amounts of easily digestible protein. Additionally, our solution is healthy and without any chalky after taste or texture! HHC Ice Creams contains no artificial colors, fillers, hormones, or soy, and we have very low lactose levels! All HHC ice cream Products are Kosher certified.
HHC Ice Creams has been tested by a certified, independent, third-party lab to meet the FDA Standard of Gluten Free. Lab results demonstrate that all flavors of HHC Protein contains less than 5ppm of gluten.
HHC Ice Creams contains milk. It is made in a facility that contain tree nuts, soy, wheat, eggs, dairy.

Heavenly Hash Creamery Ice Cream can be consumed by people who are lactose intolerant. We use a milk protein isolate that has been laboratory tested and shown to be less than 2.55g per 4oz serving.
Most studies show that individuals with lactose intolerance do not experience symptoms after ingesting small amounts of lactose-containing foods. In general, up to 12 grams of lactose (the equivalent of 1 cup of milk) in a single dose can be tolerated without significant symptoms, especially if taken with other foods.1 Most people with lactose intolerance, including children, can tolerate up to 2 cups of milk a day, divided into smaller quantities.2,3
Our highly nutritious milk protein isolate is the main source of protein in Heavenly Hash Creamery Ice Cream. Our protein produces a clean, sweet flavor and aroma with enhanced texture and consistency. The stability of our product is excellent and has a long shelf life.
We don't believe in using artificial ingredients. HHC ice creams are created with either natural cane sugar grown in Florida, USA. or Allulose for our low sugar ice cream products.
We DO NOT use sugar alcohols either. Reason being, sugar alcohols ( polyols) used in most other products are associated with adverse symptoms like nausea, gas, and bloating.
Examples of more frequently used polyols include simple alditols such as erythritol, xylitol, D-glucitol (sorbitol), and D-mannitol and disaccharide sugar alcohols such as maltitol, lactitol, and isomalt.
HHC Ice Creams are ideal for those with dysphagia and other swallowing issues. Our ice cream is considered a transitional food. Thorough testing of our products indicate an IDDSI (The International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative) Level 4 (Puree) when served cold and IDDSI Level 3 (moderately thick) at room temperature.
Cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) are derived from the Hemp plant. Products containing CBD, other cannabinoids, or any part of the Hemp plant are considered “Hemp Extract” and will be subject to Rule 5K-4.034, FAC. “Hemp Extract” means a substance or compound intended for ingestion that is derived from or contains Hemp and that does not contain other controlled substances.
They are both varieties of the plant Cannabis sativa L. However, Hemp has a total THC level that does not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis. Marijuana has THC levels that exceed this amount.
Any Hemp extract or product containing Hemp extract intended for human ingestion will be regulated by the Division of Food Safety. Hemp Extract products intended for animal ingestion will be regulated by the FDACS Division of Agricultural Environmental Services.

Any statement or claim, either on the package itself or on any advertisement for the product, that the Hemp extract is intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent a disease is not allowed. Heavenly Hash Creamery CBD is marketed as a product that can increase wound healing and improve nutrition status due to it's high protein and fat content.
This is accomplished through laboratory testing. All Hemp food products must be accompanied by a lab report called a “Certificate of Analysis.” This report must represent the product and verify through laboratory testing.
Our ice cream cup has the required scannable barcode or quick response code linked to the certificate of analysis of the hemp extract performed by an independent testing laboratory. The report will also inform you of any pesticides, heavy metals and solvents are present.
Hemp extract must be packaged in containers that minimize exposure to light, heat and oxidation. To prevent the degradation of cannabinoids, storage without light and below room temperature is recommended.
CBD does not have any of the psychoactive properties associated with marijuana and will not impair the user or get them “high.” Industrial hemp that has less than 0.3% THC content can yield high-quality CBD that is 99% pure.
CBD companies are unable to give legal advice on the legality of CBD. This information is a third party interpretation in an effort to encourage consumers to do their research on the legality of CBD. CBD is legal in 44 states. In 28 states where medical marijuana is legal, CBD products are covered by those same medical marijuana legal protections. In recent years, 16 states have passed CBD-only laws, which legalize the possession and use of CBD products for specific conditions – but not cannabis products containing higher levels of THC. Those CBD-only laws often limit the legal possession and use of CBD products to children with epilepsy, and some nerve and muscle afflictions. Even in those states with CBD legal protections, however, the substance is considered federally illegal by the DEA. Only six states—Idaho, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana, and West Virginia still consider every part of the cannabis plant, including CBD, to be illegal. The Controlled Substance Act does not contain the terms “Cannabidiol,” “Cannabinoids” or “Hemp.” Companies who source domestic hemp products, cultivated in full compliance with the Farm Bill, under appropriate licensing from respective state departments of agriculture are covered under this legislation. Furthermore, according to the continuing Appropriations Acts of 2016 and 2017, it is the expressed intent of Congress that hemp cultivated in compliance with the Farm Bill be intended for “transportation, processing, and sale.” CBD in food can only be sold within the state in which it is produced.
CBD is genrally considered safe but could cause drowsiness, nausea, diarrhea and lightheadness. CBD taken orally is metabolized through the liver. It is possible that CBD can interfere with the metabolism of other medications when taken together. Some common medications include the blood thinnner Warfin, thyroid medication and blood pressure medications. It is always recommended to consult with a physician or pharmacist before adding any CBD to your diet.
Our ice cream contains a hemp dervived cannibidiol (CBD) isolate. CBD isolate is a seperated compound from the hemp plant is produced in pure form. We test our products using a third party lab that will verify that no THC is present in our isolate. There are many marketed products that contain CBD but may have other compounds. It is important to review the product test results as some products can contain up to 0.3% THC which could make drug screen results unpredictable.
