My latest addiction: ice cream sandwiches. I am still drinking boba tea but these have taken over.Summer has now arrived and much of my time is spent outside, whether I am studying by the pool, "chilling" in the hot tub or enjoying a barbeque with my friends. The sunny weather is the perfect excuse for an ice cream sandwich!
As with every visit I make to a city, I always look for the best places to eat. One absolute must, when visiting Berkeley, is C.R.E.A.M (Cookies Rule Everything Around Me). One great sign of C.R.E.A.M is that I've always seen huge queues outside of the shop.
The cookies are always freshly baked and warm and there are many ice cream choices to make one's perfect ice cream sandwich. One Sunday afternoon in Berkeley, I visited C.R.E.A.M with a friend. We ordered a Turtle Cookie with Coffee Almond Fudge ice cream and a White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Cookie with Old Fashioned Cherry Vanilla ice cream. These were two divine pairings.
Initially, we decided to share the sandwiches, but I was so overwhelmed by the Turtle cookie that I could only bear to share one bite... (I am mean!) As if they were only $2 each?!
What an excellent idea.. Warm cookies and ice-cream, much better than ice-cream van oysters.
ReplyDeleteYou actually shared one bite - you are generous not mean:) Ice cream sandwiches are awesome
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing - I love the combination of textures and temperatures!
ReplyDeleteBoth combinations sound amazing! Wish I had one right now.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, how do you even choose which one to try first? These look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWe do love ice-cream sandwiches, though they don't look as good as yours!

Actually looks amazing, how yummy! I wonder if they would be easy enough to make at home? xx
ReplyDeleteBoth combinations sound delicious, though I lean toward the turtle. I really love how haphazardly they are put together. I really like that kind of informality. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteI can't quite decide if I want to live in Berkeley or San Francisco when I 'grow up'. I like both places, for different reasons...
ReplyDeleteI've never been to C.R.E.A.M....now I'll have to find it :)
Now that looks like a much better ice-cream cookie deal than the old fashioned ice-cream wafers we used to have here in the UK. I can quite see why warm cookies and delicious ice-cream might be your new favourite.
ReplyDeleteWow....I'm going to The Bay area this weekend!! Might have to get me one of these beauties!
