| Chocolate Peanut Butter Donut Ice Cream Sandwich |
While I have been exploring New York City I have been looking for the perfect things to cure a sweet tooth and so far I have been pretty lucky. My first treat was found at Baked by Butterfield on Lexington Ave. They had a variety of flavors, such as red velvet, double chocolate (as well as flowerless chocolate), Boston cream pie, and salted Carmel. The Carmel donut was amazing, it was a cake donut draped in Carmel candy, it was basically the consistency of the Carmel on a Carmel apple, but instead of the apple there was a donut. It was really rich, but perfect for dessert.
I found the cupcake at Eleni's in Chelsea Market, to be honest I was looking for a tuxedo cupcake with chocolate cake and white frosting, but took the store attendants advice and tried the one above instead and I was happily surprised. Being a chocolate fanatic I would have preferred there to be a little more chocolate, but it was still delicious. The cake was moist and the frosting wasn't too sweet or sugary.
Lastly I discovered the chocolate peanut butter donut ice cream sandwich at Holy Cream in Hell's Kitchen. It is basically a ice cream parlor where you chose from a variety of ice cream flavors, frosting, and toppings to make any sandwich of your choice. You can also just have ice cream in a cup or cone, but if you want to saturate yourself in sugar then go big and try the donut ice cream sandwich, you won't be disappointed.
I will continue to search for unique sweets in the city and post pictures as I find them!
