Creamery Ice Cream sandwiched between donuts from Stan’s Donuts in Westwood, California. Three varieties of this decadent dessert are available, including one option that eschews donuts in favor of cinnamon rolls.

The restaurant industry has responded in kind, offering its own creative dishes, such as these donut ice cream sandwiches that appeal directly to those who grew up in the Internet age.
