Summer is the time for ice cream! Hearing the ice cream truck down the street takes me back to when I was a kid, swimming in the pool, rushing out as fast as I could to catch the truck just in time. At the truck window, the debate was always between a Firecracker popsicle, a snow cone or a Chipwich ice cream sandwich. Eight times out of ten the Chipwich won.
Today, if the ice cream truck served good ice cream, I’d probably still be running to it. But since Chipwich’s no longer do the trick, I’ve learned how to make the best ice cream at home. And I’m sometimes known to place a scoop between two cookies…
But this black sesame ice cream is best in a wafer cone (not a sugar cone), eaten on a hot summer night. It’s got that nutty sweetness that almost tastes like peanut butter but is more subtle. I also love the color. If you’ve never tried it before please do, I’d go as far as to say it’s life changing….
