It is not every day people get to treat themselves to a delicious ice cream cone let alone canned ice cream sundaes. Of course, the latter is not something that is readily available. That is, unless a person happens to pass by the Pop It! ice cream truck in East Hampton this weekend. For an extremely limited time, these unusual frozen treats will be sold to lucky customers.
Created by Dominique Ansel Bakery in collaboration with designer Lisa Perry, the canned ice cream sundaes are lined with chocolate and "filled with root beer and stracciatella (vanilla and chocolate chip) ice creams, mascarpone semifreddo, toasted honey marshmallows, mini cherry meringue stars, and macerated cherries," reports Yum Sugar. One can is meant for two.
