Ice cream lovers in New York City are in for a treat this summer as two iconic local brands have joined forces to create a collection of innovative frozen desserts. Russ and Daughters, known for their classic bagels, halvah, and babka, have partnered with Morgenstern’s, a beloved ice cream shop, to introduce a series of unique ice cream treats that are sure to delight foodies across the city.
The collaboration between Russ and Daughters and Morgenstern’s has resulted in three mouthwatering frozen desserts. The Sesame Bagel Ice Cream Sandwich features a generous scoop of cream cheese ice cream sandwiched between two crispy sesame cookies, reminiscent of a classic bagel with cream cheese. For those with dietary restrictions, the 5 Layer Halvah Ice Cream Bar offers a gluten-free, plant-based option inspired by Russ and Daughters’ famous 7 layer halvah. This treat combines vegan chocolate and halvah ice cream, chocolate fudge, and a dark chocolate coating. Lastly, the Chocolate Babka Ice Cream Pop is a decadent creation made with Russ and Daughters’ signature Chocolate Babka, coated in toasted Babka and dipped in dark chocolate.
Availability and Pricing
These delectable creations are priced at $8 each and can be enjoyed at all Russ and Daughters retail locations as well as Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream. The collaboration will run from Tuesday, June 18th until the end of summer, giving New Yorkers plenty of time to indulge in these delightful treats. Locations where the ice cream treats can be purchased include Morgenstern’s at 88 W Houston St, Russ and Daughters at 179 E Houston St, 502 W 34th St, and 141 Flushing Ave Building 77 in Brooklyn. Local delivery and pickup options are also available for those unable to visit the physical stores. Additionally, customers outside of New York City can order the Russ and Daughters Ice Cream collection for shipping through Morgenstern’s website, with a $110 package including two of each treat shipped on dry ice.
Other Sweet and Savory Treats
While the collaboration between Russ and Daughters and Morgenstern’s is sure to be a hit, it is not the only unique ice cream offering in New York City this summer. 16 Handles, a popular frozen yogurt chain, has recently introduced a limited edition flavor: French Fry. This bright yellow soft serve features a salty flavor profile and is studded with real potato french fry pieces, offering a one-of-a-kind sweet and salty combination. The French Fry flavor is available at 16 Handles locations nationwide until mid-July, giving customers the chance to try this unconventional treat.
Neil Hershman, CEO of 16 Handles, expressed the brand’s commitment to bringing joy to customers through their innovative flavors. By poking fun at a well-known fast-food chain’s broken ice cream machines in their marketing campaign for the French Fry flavor, 16 Handles aims to make people smile and create a light-hearted experience for all ice cream enthusiasts. This focus on creativity and humor sets 16 Handles apart in the competitive ice cream industry, showcasing their dedication to delighting customers with their unique offerings.
The sweet and savory ice cream trend is taking New York City by storm this summer, with collaborations between iconic brands and inventive flavor offerings creating a buzz among food lovers. Whether enjoying a classic bagel-inspired ice cream sandwich or indulging in a salty French Fry frozen yogurt, these creative treats are sure to make a lasting impression on the city’s culinary scene.
