Today serves as an ode to a delicious childhood dessert favorite – the ice cream sandwich! (Can you believe that it once cost only 1 penny?)

In 1900, these little frozen delights could be found in New York’s Bowery neighborhood. As the news spread by word of mouth and newspaper articles, soon these frozen delicacies could be found all over the US during the summer as pushcart vendors fed the frenzy. Do you prefer a center filled with creamy vanilla, sweet strawberry, fudgy chocolate, or a combination of all the above with a Neapolitan surprise? No matter your preference, each bite of ice cream stuffed between those soft, chocolate wafers is sure to soothe the soul.

Today for Ice Cream Sandwich Day, try a yummy variation that you don't normally consider. Perhaps airy sponge cake or Angel food for the outer cookie layer? Try appreciating your client in a different way as well with our Amaretti Gift Box!
