“It’s a homemade artisanal brand, however, it’s for the masses and it’s going to be everywhere,” the 50-year-old businessman tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I really do think that it is one of the best ice creams out there.”

Cold Case started as an online-only business, but as it’s grown in popularitythrough social media, it’s becoming more accessible.

“Now we’re starting to expand into the delivery services like DoorDash, and there’s DashMart and GoPuff, and then, into retail and really starting to expand this into a real ice cream company,” he says. “Anybody that’s tried it, the flavors, the response has been great.”

“Everyone tries to do fancy flavors like rose water or saffron, lavender. This is more of what people want,” he says of Cold Case. “It’s delicious food, delicious desserts that are transformed into ice cream, and that’s my whole vision on it because I’m such a big dessert person. I love over-the-top desserts, and I really try to figure out how to put them into ice cream and make it original.”

The rolling flavor offerings all boast unique and standout monikers, from Jane Dough to Killer Bees as well as Cereal Killer and Embezzle-mint. His current favorites, a.k.a. his “babies,” are Crime Brulee and Puffed Pyro. “Our flavors are really good. The texture is incredible. When you put your spoon through it, you just see the quality ice cream, and especially the mix-ins,” he says.

Next, the reality star is set on creating a fortune cookie-flavored ice cream.

“Everybody loves the flavor of fortune cookies. There’s no ice cream like a fortune cookie ice cream,” he says. “And then, I want to have a fortune in every ice cream. It’s just fun stuff.”

“I like original flavors that aren’t weird,” he adds.
