Melt Bakery - scooponcones.com
Melt Bakery is stepping up the creativity of ice cream sandwiches. This new startup offers only about four varieties at a time, yet they have already brought two totally new ice cream conceptions to our world: One that incorporates baklava, the other is inspired by happy hour with beer-flavored ice cream and salted peanut cookies.
The Kareem uses a triangle of homemade baklava as the casing for Pistachio-Rose Water ice cream. We loved it. It is really sweet (and sticky), but if you don’t want a sweet treat you shouldn’t be eating baklava.
We also tried the Bold ice cream sandwich, which is made with Guinness Stout ice cream and Salted Peanut Cookies. The ice cream delivers the beer flavor, it’s present but not overwhelming. And the Salted Peanut cookie was a nice pairing to keep with a bar food theme (perhaps a dip of pretzel peices would be a nice addition?)
Right now Melt gets some of their ice cream from Il Laboratorio del Gelato and some is homemade. Keep an eye on these guys, we expect to see more great things from them.
Find them at the Hester Street Fair on weekends.
Hours: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday-Sunday; April-December
