We Invent An Ice Cream Sandwich

For years, Dan has kept a Google Doc of ideas for ice cream flavors and ice cream sandwiches. But nobody asked him for it. Then, the folks at Heap’s Ice Cream in Brooklyn asked Dan to collaborate on the ice cream sandwich of his dreams. We get an inside look at the whole process with Heap’s cofounder Sarah Sanneh, from Dan’s pitch of fried plantain ice cream, to the invention of a new ice cream mix-in, to the surprising result of freezing one of Dan and Sarah’s favorite cereals.

Dan’s limited-run ice cream sandwich goes on sale this Thursday, August 14, at 7pm at Heap’s in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and Dan will be there for the launch. Hope to see you there!

The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O’Hara, Kameel Stanley, and Jared O'Connell. Publishing by Shantel Holder.
