A new era in dessert.

jonnythan

I love Pop-Tarts. I love ice cream. I love Pop-Tart ice cream sandwiches, as any sane human being who doesn’t hate themselves would.



So that’s a given. These things are awesome. But I’ve also been getting a little bored with them. They don’t quite…. excite me the way they used to. I've been thinking about ways to take dessert to the next level. I've come up with a few ideas, and decided to try one out tonight.

I went to the grocery after tennis practice today and headed straight for the back of the store. I bought a can of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls. I then went and grabbed some shave cream and envelopes just to throw anyone who might be suspicious off the trail. I checked out at register #3. The cashier had no idea she just sold me the trigger to a flavor gun.

So after dinner, I baked the cinnamon rolls. I put em all right next to each other and didn't quite bake them all the way through for maximum gooeyness. Then I took them out of the oven. I put two of them on a plate.



Now here’s the magical part. I’m getting giddy just thinking about the audacity of it. I put two big scoops of Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream right on top. Then I emptied the entire cup of icing on top of the whole thing.



First bite: Holy mother of God. So much icing, so much ice cream. Warm gooey cinnamon roll and a big chunk of cookie dough. All in the first bite. And every bite after that. Absolutely glorious. You need a fork and knife to eat this. A little extravagant, buying a whole can of cinnamon rolls just to eat two of them, but *damn*.



Discuss amongst yourselves.

Is that what we call a Chelsea Bun?

Too bad they don't sell just the cinnamon roll icing. Then you wouldn't have to waste the rest of the cinnamon rolls. Looks fantastic!

Wow Jon. You have outdone yourself. Pics are amazing. Love the covert mission aspect, too. Very James Bond.

I will have a little bit of the ice cream, but I leave the rolls for you and the rest of the crowd. NOTHING with cinnamon gets in my house or within 1000 feet of my nose. :sick:

This. Also if you use almond extract it gives it that "cherry" twist. That way you can have the rest of the rolls!

That's one flavor that you only seem to find once in awhile. Definitely one of my favorites.
