STORY: Kanye Ice Cream Week lasts until this coming Sunday, June 12. Kanye's birthday is this June 8, but until June 12, I'm going to enjoy the menu offered by Morgenstern's!
This time around, I went with a friend today and she & I waited about the same amount of time as last time (~30 min). We had fun deciding what we were going to get. I really wanted to try something off of the Yeezus menu (so punny), and considered getting "I Am A God". I decided against it and tried the three flavors off of the SZN 2 menu instead. My friend got mango sorbet!
My friend's mango sorbet
I ordered, paid, and waited. My friend got hers (in her words, "It tastes like straight up mango!" LOL. But she liked it!) , and I waited for mine. 5 minutes passed, and then -
"Whitney!" "Yes?" "So the Reindeer is too soft, and it won't stay on. We are going to replace it with our mint ice cream and mix mint chips in it" "Okay! Sounds good!"
5 more minutes....
"Whitney!" "Yes!" "The mint ice cream is too hard to scoop out. What flavor do you want?" "Hmm... I'll try the coconut-ash then!"
And then, FINALLY, I got my ice cream. YAY!
THOUGHTS: Presentation was awesome. It looked so pretty. That was the upside. The downside? It melted fast. After taking photos, the coconut-ash (black as night) was drizzling down fast. I didn't taste too much coconut in it until half-way through.
Once I hit the Positive #Vibes Pistachio, wow! Very strawberry - very refreshing. But unexpected?? I feel this name was a misnomer, since the main flavor is strawberry, not pistachio. Mid-scoop there was a cluster of pistachio bits, which was a nice surprise (Light bulb! Oh! That's where the name came about), but I personally would have left the pistachio out.
Finally I reached the Stracciatella. I liked the simplicity of it, with the chocolate chunks. By this time, the ice cream was melting at an incredibly fast rate. At this point, I was more concerned about trying to eat it all before it melted into the cup.
However, it was a lot of fun eating it!! My favorite flavor would be the Positive Vibes Pistachio. I think it should be Positive Vibes Strawberry haha.
Oh, and my teeth turned black after eating coconut-ash 😝
See my black-ish teeth? D:
It 'whitened' back after eating the stracciatella. No worries!
Ice cream time with Kate!
