Earlier this yr, Temple Pastries launched their Ice Cream & Sandwich Window, a walk-up window subsequent to the Central District bakery that provided summery lunch gadgets like sandwiches, ice cream, and housemade chips. It was a godsend through the hotter months—their ice cream menu included delicate serve in flavors like pandan, mango, strawberry sumac, and cherry vanilla, however, as is the case for a lot of summer time’s bounty, they suspended the ice cream program after Labor Day.
However this month they’ve damaged their very own “no ice cream within the winter” rule, a minimum of briefly, to introduce the gingerbread ice cream sandwich.
A thick and creamy puck of Gingerbread-spiced ice cream is tucked between two delicate gingerbread cookies, and since that’s not sufficient ginger, they’ve dipped it in ginger-y coating. Whereas it could appear like a creamy ice cream sandwich, it ought to include a warning as a result of the ginger kick is under no circumstances refined. The cookies are nearly sizzling, with sufficient ginger {that a} gradual burn began to construct up behind my throat that fortunately received extinguished with every chunk of ice cream. The ginger burns so brightly, the truth is, our social media supervisor Christian Parracco says he’d classify it as a Not for Children cookie and I’m inclined to agree. (Although I do know a number of youngsters who love Flamin’ Cheetos and Takis so perhaps they’d be into it.)
