The Cookie Monster might be one of the most beloved Sesame children's characters replicated in baked goods, but now the monster puppet is the main source of inspiration in this ice cream flavor that was featured at the Coachella music festival. The ice cream takes its flavor and aesthetic from the blue biscuit-obsessed monster to render a frozen dessert that is served as a sandwich on a dense milk bun.
The ice cream flavor is served at the Afters Ice Cream food truck parked at Coachella and it embodies the character both in taste as well as the decorative look of the dessert. The ice cream is a vivid electric blue coloring to replicate the Cookie Monster's tangled fur with crushed up Oreo cookies throughout. Eaters can order the ice cream on a cone or have it served inside a milky bun.
