| - Dessert hybrids are among my favorite, and have proved to be the most failproof category within which to unite two traditionally separate food items in harmonious matrimony! Dr Frost conjures up *macaron ice cream sandwiches.* A tad bigger than traditional macarons, and unapologetically vibrant in color. The willy wonka hues give no indication of the natural flavors within, so I inquired and the cute server listed off "black cherry, pistachio, cheesecake, brownie..." among others. I went with pistachio which turned out to be an absolute win. While the sandwich consisted of lavender purple and seafoam turquoise, the pistachio flavor was actually quite subtle and delicate.
Hard ice cream, sorbet, and Coldstonesque mashups are also available. My mom got the Russian mountain.. a lavish mix of chocolate, vanilla, mini peanut butter cups and caramel. Dad went for black cherry dark chocolate- a little too fruity for me but I tend to go for nut-flavored ice cream. All of our chosen ice creams merited endless "mmm's and ooh's" as we made our way down St. Denis.
