With Summer nearing, and warmer weather on its way, it's time to get your ice cream on. One dish you will love is the ice cream cookie sandwich from Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream. Two perfect chocolate chip cookies, with your choice of their fabulous ice cream flavors. I have gone with Hazelnut the past two weeks, and it's been a truly heavenly experience. Try not to eat the entire sandwich, it is huge, but so darn awesome!
