This little ice cream stand in Brooklyn Bridge Park has really fabulous flavors. I am kicking myself for not trying to sooner. (I had my first cone there last week after passing it a million times.) We had their version of cookies and cream, which was incredible. There was some spice in the cookies, maybe marjoram, and the ice cream itself had some salt in it. It was just really, really tasty. Some of the crazier flavor options were stour and pretzel and one that was bourbon flavored with candied bacon. I will definitely be stopping there again after our next BBQ.

I can't wait to have people over for dinner so we can serve these as dessert. So decadent and tasty! You can use different types of ice cream. Works really well with cookies and cream, or, in this case, with vanilla ice cream and oreos.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 shots dark rum

1 shot kahlua

3 oreos, and one for garnish

2 cups vanilla ice cream

splash of milk

some chocolate (I used a few pieces of Mast Brothers dark chocolate)

pinch of salt

Whipped cream

Directions:

Put rum, kahlua, 3 oreos, ice cream, milk, salt, and chocolate in a blender and pulse until smooth with a few little chunks. Pour into glasses, top with whipped cream. Break the oreo in half and put half on top of each. That's it!
