This dessert parlour is putting pie and slices of cake on top of ice cream

In ordinary circles, pie is often served with a scoop of ice cream, but at Ice and Vice in New York, they put the pie on top of the ice cream. The ice-cream parlour has been named number one in the Big Apple by New York magazine for its zany, multi-scoop creations, which, though outlandish, apparently “all taste good!”

Pie’s not the only thing you’ll find atop your ice cream cone. Also on offer: ice-cream sandwiches, ginger-lime fortune cookies, black marshmallows, pie-crust cookies (basically bits of baked pastry, as far as we can tell), whipped cream, slices of ice-cream pie, and giant slices of something called black velvet cake.

When you can’t decide and just pull up a seat to the buffet. Featuring Bazaar Buzz (Dogfish IPA, malted pretzel crunch) in a @thekonery dark chocolate chai cone and topped w/ peanut butter shell, malted pretzel crunch, @dalypies pie crust cookie, and @squishmarsh black birthday party marshmallows. The night is yours. Only at Ice & Vice Outpost @bkbazaar and delivery to Qns/BK via @trycaviarnyc @ubereats. #iceandvice A post shared by Ice & Vice (@iceandvice) on Mar 25, 2017 at 5:59pm PDT

The flavours themselves are pretty zany, too. The Southern Belle is a combo of Graham cracker crust with juniper-lemon curd, while the Ants on a Farm features celery (!), raisin, and gianduia chocolate chip.

Sure, why not. Just when you think it’s too much, it’s never enough (: @feedyourgirlfriend). Featuring: Farmer Boy (black currant, goat milk frozen yogurt, buckwheat streusel), Tea Dance (Nilgiri black tea, lemon charcoal caramel), Milk Money (toasted milk, sea salt chocolate ganache) in a @thekonery mocha waffle bowl and stuffed w/ a Detention ice cream pie (malted vanilla in a marshmallow fruity pebble crust and coated in fruity pebble dust). At the shop, delivery via @trycaviarnyc @ubereats, and nationwide shipping via @goldbely. #iceandvice

Naturally, a bog-standard sugar cone won’t do for this ice cream. The cones, made by The Konery, are also flavoured. Think salted blue-corn honey cones, birthday cake cones, and bright pink coconut-almond macaroon cones. Co-owner Ken Lo told Insider Food that the idea started after an indecisive customer couldn’t choose between an ice-cream sandwich and an ice-cream cone. The solution? Both.

We’ll just leave this right here (: @mikejchau). Featuring: Ants On A Farm (celery, raisin, gianduja chip), Farmer Boy (black currant, goat milk frozen yogurt, buckwheat streusel) in a @thekonery coconut almond macaroon cone and topped w/ @thekonery mocha waffle bowl, Opium Den (tahini, toasted poppy seed, lemon bread crouton), Detention ice cream pie (malted vanilla, marshmallow fruity pebble crust, fruity pebble dust), @thekonery ginger lime fortune cookie.

We have several questions. Aside from the obvious calorific concerns, we’re worried about the structural integrity of these towers of ice cream, and we’d be very interested to see a percentage study of how many of them have landed up on the floor. (We’re also willing to assist with this important research, should our help be needed.)

When unicorns get their wings: Detention (malted vanilla, fruity pebble dust, Mexican chocolate brownies) in a @thekonery birthday cake cone and topped w/ whipped cream, strawberry shortcake crumb, rainbow spranklezzz, and @dalypies pie crust cookie wings. Exclusively at Ice & Vice Outpost @bkbazaar, and now delivery to Qns/BK via @trycaviarnyc @ubereats. #iceandvice
