Over the last few years, avocado toast has become a popular, healthy and photogenic savory snack, but it is now being reimagined by the creator of the Cronut—pastry chef Dominique Ansel—with the introduction of the Avocado Toast Ice Cream Sandwich.
The Avocado Toast Ice Cream Sandwich was created as a treat specifically for the Dominique Ansel Bakery in Los Angeles and it is the only place the exclusive indulgence can be found. The reimagined avocado toast creation features a shortbread cookie at its base that is topped with avocado olive oil ice cream, ricotta mascarpone ice cream, plus dragon fruit, freeze-dried berries, sea salt and olive oil. As a whole, the open-face ice cream sandwich retains the look of the original item that inspired its creation.
