a few weeks ago, my girlfriend, sarah, my fab foodie friend, brenda, and our lovely friend, sam all ventured-and by that I mean took an Uber- into the depths of carroll gardens. i had spent days staring at photos of their crazy yet delicious looking flavors of ice cream on Instagram, and more importantly, their BarnBurners, which im saving for last. after five minutes of photographing everything, we finally got to see what all the hype was about, and oh my gosh-the hype is well-deserved. everything we ate was incredible, and i can easily say Hay Rosie is one of the best ice cream shops in the city. totally worth the Uber to brooklyn.
this beauty is a double scoop of rough day (with sarah and brenda hiding behind it). its vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered pretzel pieces, cookie dough chunks, and swirls of peanut butter. again, the base was creamy and had an amazing vanilla flavor, and the mix-ins were fab. our cone was slacking a bit on the chocolate covered pretzels, but the cookie dough chunks most definitely made up for it.
a scoop of bangarang-sweet cream ice cream with rainbow cake pieces throughout. you know how in most ice creams with cake in it, the pieces get all icy and chewy and gross, like frozen sponges? (i truly do apologize for putting that image in your head-or in your tastebuds) well that is not the case here! the cake chunks were soft and springy, and tasted like actual cake. the ice cream was the perfect texture- light, fluffy, and so creamy. this flavor was super sweet, but in the best way possible.
HERE IT IS-THE BARNBURNER!!!!! (IM RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED IN CASE YOU COULDN'T TELL)!!!!!!! a BarnBurner is two pieces of anything delicious-in this case chocolate chip cookie dough-stuffed with your choice of ice cream, and then PRESSED IN A WAFFLE IRON. my fabulous team of foodies and i made the genius decision of putting brownie brickle crunch ice cream in the center of this, which was a sweet cream base with pieces of undercooked brownie (think a very soft, almost doughy brownie) and crunchy butter brickle chunks. literally every bite of this was perfect. each spoonful picked up some of the warm, brown sugary cookie dough, the hot and oozing chocolate chips, the cold, melty, creamy ice cream, the chewy, chocolate-y brownies, and the crunchy, buttery brickle chunks. if that doesn't sound like the most perfect thing you've ever heard, then there must be something seriously wrong with ya. anyways, the moral of this post is to get yourself to Hay Rosie IMMEDIATELY, because it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
