This month, we're taking the ice cream sandwich up a notch. This favorite summertime treat isn't just for kids anymore – it deserves the same creative spin on "fun" as your adult life.
As I currently am, many of my friends may be experiencing the infamous identity crisis that comes with graduating from college and entering the real world. But believe it or not, I think I've found the cure: simply indulging in an exquisite, flavorful, textural, and sophisticated version of a childhood dessert is enough to make you think, "Hey, maybe this grown-up stuff isn't so bad."
Until you finish the sandwich, that is. :) But there's a perfect excuse to have another one.
For my take on a posh ice cream sandwich, read this month's column. I used teff flour, coconut palm sugar, and dark chocolate for the Fleur de sel Cookies (see previous post), and rounded it out with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream. The results do not disappoint.
