I’ve been eating a lot more ice cream than usual this summer. And it’s kind of awesome.
Last night, Jillian and I had an elementary school date at Sundaes and Cones, an old-school ice cream shop with exotic flavors located in the East Village.
The interior is kind of retro, with a definite hipster edge. Although with flavors like wasabi and sesame, hipsterness doesn’t surprise me. (I actually sampled the wasabi. It was weird, though I usually love the stuff.)
I had so much trouble choosing my flavor! It was between chocolate peanut butter, cookie dough, mocha chip, peppermint swirl and mint chocolate.
Eventually though, I went with mint chocolate, topped with chocolate sprinkles. Because I can’t eat ice cream without them!
The ice cream was sooooo creamy and thick- the texture was almost elastic. Real ice cream. And I liked that they had shavings of real dark chocolate, instead of just chips. It made the flavors mesh together better!
Jillian went with a hazelnut cone, also topped with sprinkles. We’re still in elementary school, remember?
By the way, thank you all so much for your insightful comments on last night’s post. If you haven’t read it yet, check it out- people left some amazing feedback on the processed v. whole foods debate!
So the real question is: sprinkles or no sprinkles? Or do you prefer another topping?
