Ice Cream Sundaes Come Back into Cool



“We’re done with the cold—weather, that is. An ice-cream sundae, however, is the kind of cold we can get behind. A bunch of New York restaurants are churning out new takes on the classic frozen dessert updating the treat with olive oil, palm sugar and—yes—booze.”

Carrot cake sundae at Alder
In a tall, old-fashioned glass, tangy cream-cheese ice cream from Il Laboratorio del Gelato is topped with crispy cubes of tender carrot cake, candied sweet walnuts and a marigold-hued river of white chocolate sweetened with carrot juice. Its vegetal sweetness is countered by the pleasantly earthy bitterness of deep-fried cocoa nibs dusted in cocoa powder.

The childhood favorite gets cocktail-hour treatment—with three types of booze, to be exact—from chef Nicholas Wilber, at his fashionable uptown canteen. Steve’s bourbon-vanilla and Scotch-chocolate ice creams form the base; ratcheting up the booze factor are cherries soaked in Pimm’s. House-made salted-caramel chocolate sauce and Hudson Valley Fresh whipped cream mellow the alky punch. Ahm/Source: Timeout.com
