New York City in the summer means inescapable heat and a never-ending desire for ice cream. When I passed a bright pink ice cream truck, I had to stop. Turns out, the truck was Coolhaus Ice Cream, where you construct your own cookie ice cream sandwich.  I chose chocolate chip cookies with the Dirty Mint ice cream (which tastes like a fresh peppermint garden). The ice cream and cookies are delicious individually, and together they are an unbeatable combination. Also, the wrapper that the ice cream sandwich comes in is edible. Coolhaus isn’t just in NYC – they have trucks in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Austin! With flavors like Fried Chicken and Waffles, Lychee Martini Sorbet, and Chocolate Molten Cake, I clearly need to hunt down this truck again for another summer treat.

If you are in NYC and want a different kind of summer treat, try the frrrozen hot chocolates at Serendipity 3!
