It is almost officially summer, and ice cream shops everywhere are opening their stores! On a particularly pleasant weekend day in Brooklyn, I came upon Ample Hills Creamery. A relatively sizable shop, it offers many classic favorites in addition to twists and completely new flavor profiles.
It was on this initial visit that I discovered Snap, Mallow, Pop, the creamery’s take on the favorite rice krispie treat of children and adults alike. The marshmallow-flavored ice cream was sweet and spot-on, with speckles of rice krispies for a chewy texture. While I could only handle a small serving, I had no regrets for choosing this unique flavor. To top it off, I enjoyed each spoonful lounging in a colorful adirondack chair from the sunny rooftop deck.
There are many others that caught my eye, including the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake and Nonna D’s Oatmeal Lace. With summer in full swing, I have no doubt I will be returning to try the others sometime soon…
Until next time,
