STORY: So apparently this is Kanye Ice Cream Week. Who knew. My friend sent me the link about it, and the menu is so hilarious. On Friday, after work I decided to head down to Morgenstern's to celebrate the weekend, and of course participate in the Kanye Ice Cream madness.
I ended up waiting in line for 30-40 minutes for a Panda Cone.
THOUGHTS: PANDA SO CUTE!!! After taking several obligatory photos, I felt guilty about eating it. Poor thing. Well, it was made to be consumed.
First thing, I bit into the coconut-ash cookie ear - what an extremely dry cookie. Eating it actually made me thirsty, so I quickly wolfed this ear down and then its other one. The coconut ice cream base I tasted next. While it satisfied my thirst, I was surprised that it was very icy and didn't seem to have its usual creamy thickness that Morgenstern's had. Or maybe it's because I haven't been here in a while? It did taste like coconut, and had sparse coconut shavings throughout.
Now, I really enjoyed the M&Ms they added for the panda eyes. It added a good chocolatey crunch to it. The nose I think was made out of the same coconut-ash cookie for the ears.
What I really liked about this Panda Cone was that the ice cream is scooped into a cake cone. I LOVE cake cones, and the coconut ice cream settled nicely into it. Good way to end it.
But would I get it again? No. I think it was overpriced at $6 per panda. I would like to try the other menu items though!
Yeah, I'd like to use Kanye West's melting head as my bookmark.
My panda & me.
