Silhouette Ice Cream |
At some point, the cookie dough has to stop.
Even if cookie dough ice cream evokes memories of Mama making cookies and licking the spoon clean (and for a lot of us, that's a cultural memory, not a personal one), there's surely a physiological limit to the amount of cookie dough that any one person should have in a lifetime — and most Americans crossed that line years ago.
Silhouette Ice Cream, www.skinnycow.com, is developing a passionate following for satisfying ice cream cravings without a lot of fat or calories. Their ice cream sandwiches, coming in at about 130 calories and 2 grams of fat, also happen to be delicious.
This New York company, started in 1992 by Marc Wexler and Sam Pugliese, makes a number of ice cream sandwich flavors besides vanilla: mint, chocolate peanut butter, dulce de leche, strawberry shortcake, caramel, and coffee. They are made by hand.
In addition to those babies, Silhouette makes low-fat and fat-free sundae cups, fudge bars, and a new cookies 'n' cream bar.
Since we got hooked, we haven't missed cookie dough or any other ice cream, not once.
