Awesome ice cream sandwiches from Ice Cream Cookie Co.
I’ve always loved ice cream sandwiches. A good one, with artisanal ice cream and a homemade cookie, is a true treat. In the past, my amazing wife S used to make them for me. But these days, between work and looking after our hyperactive son, she simply doesn’t have the time to indulge me. Fortunately, I have discovered the guys at The Ice Cream & Cookie Co., who make rather exceptional ice cream sandwiches.
I first ran across these guys at the Public Garden Flea Market in December (2012). I couldn’t resist ordering their After Eight sandwich, made with peppermint ice cream and brownie cookies. It was fantastic and I remember fighting off S, who asked for one bite, and then another, and another.
I also really like that the ice creams made by The Ice Cream Cookie Co. are “preservative-free, all-natural, and free of harmful stabilisers and emulsifiers.”
I recently had the good fortune of trying their two newest sandwiches, Choco Noisette (chocolate-hazelnut ice cream + dark cocoa cookie) and Pineapple Tart (pineapple ice cream + golden butter cookie), the latter a special edition for Chinese New Year. I especially liked the Pineapple Tart. The ice cream, with chunks of candied pineapple, was light yet flavorful. The cookie was nice and soft. A wonderful snack to be had this festive season.
You can sample The Ice Cream Cookie Co.’s sandwiches at Pistola. Or find them at various pop-ups around town (“like” their Facebook page to stay updated). Or order online. Please note that the last orders for the Pineapple Tart sandwiches is 27 January; they’ll be delivered by 10 February.

i tried these the other day, they were fantastic! I’ve had all the original ones but haven’t had the new flavors…can’t wait! One of those weirdly transcendent products that you don’t realise you really want all the time until you’ve had one.
