As the granddaughter of two Brooklyn Jews, I would have been doing my heritage an injustice if I celebrated National Ice Cream Sandwich Day with anything other than a chocolate babka ice cream sandwich.
Russ & Daughters on the Lower East Side is the OG Jewish deli. They've been selling bagels and schmear in the same spot since 1914, and they recently hopped on the ice cream train with their chocolate babka ice cream sandwich.
Housemade chocolate babka ice cream between two thick slices of classic chocolate babka. You already know Russ & Daughters' chocolate babka is the real deal. And, they did a pretty great job with their ice cream - a solid vanilla base with chunks of chocolate babka.
My only complaint? The ice cream to babka ratio was slightly off - I was left with a few bites of babka on babka at the end, but that's certainly nothing to complain about.
