Est. Brooklyn 2008. Cookies & Cream: We upped the ante on this American classic. We break up dark chocolate cookies, sandwiched with a cream filling, and fold them into our creamy ice cream recipe with a touch of cold-ground Tahitian vanilla bean. Our Story: We began in the spring of 2008 out of a scoop truck in Brooklyn, New York. Our ice cream is made in small batches with fresh milk and cream, pure cane sugar and egg yolks. We obsessively source the best ingredients in the world to create each flavor. Enjoy! Ben, Rote, Laura. www.vanleeuwenicecream.com. Instagram. vanleeuwenicecream.
