Coolhaus Ice Cream Book: Custom-Built Sandwiches with Crazy-Good Combos of Cookies, Ice Creams, Gelatos, and Sorbets

by Natasha Case, Freya Estreller, Kathleen Squires

Overview

From a beat-up postal van turned food truck, Coolhaus has rocketed to a national brand. Yahoo! called it “the best ice cream in America.” The inventive sandwiches, named after famous architects, are sold in supermarkets across the country, as well as from trucks in Los Angeles, New York, Austin, and Dallas. Coolhaus has drawn accolades from the New York Times, Every Day with Rachael Ray, Time, and Good Morning America, to name a few, and from such celebrities as Will Ferrell, Jimmy Kimmel, and Alex Guarnaschelli.

Now the owners part with the recipes for their coolest creations, like the BuckMINTster Fuller (Dirty Mint Chip Ice Cream with Chocolate Chip Cookies) and the Frank Behry (Strawberry Gelato with Snickerdoodles). Daring flavors range from classic (Cookies and Sweet Cream), to boozy (Bourbon Manhattan), to vegan (Lychee Martini), and even savory (Fried Chicken and Waffle).

Sandwiched among the treats are tips on ice cream making, profiles of major and up-and-coming architects, and amusing tales of the owners’ forays into the ice cream business.

From the Publisher

04/15/2014
Before Coolhaus (eatcoolhaus.com) was a successful business, co-owners Case and Freya Estreller sold their architecture-inspired ice cream sandwiches from a broken-down postal truck purchased on Craigslist. Their debut cookbook, penned with freelance writer Kathleen Squires, provides a humorous introduction to their company's history and offers readers a chance to re-create signature sandwiches such as Bananas Norman Foster and Peter Cook-ies and Cream (named for architects profiled in the book). Recipes range from traditional to experimental and include a few vegan and gluten-free choices. The savory flavors—Peking duck and pistachio black truffle, for example—will challenge even adventurous palates. VERDICT This bold ice cream book both shocks and delights. Highly recommended for readers interested in unusual flavors.
