Toasty ice cream

“Careful, it’s hot,” the server said as he set down my ice cream. That’s right—at the new Sweet Puffs Ice Cream in Elk Grove, your frozen dessert might hurt your hand. The ice cream sandwich ($6.50) comes with two toasty waffles, crisped with sweetness like fried doughnuts. They surround your pick of 21 ice cream flavors—especially tasty are the mildly sweet Hawaiian Taro and cinnamon-heavy Horchata. With its hot-cold contradictions, this is the perfect oversized indulgence to savage when the world is ending, like when a certain leader snubs the one thing that could have saved us all—you know, hypothetically. 8469 Elk Grove Boulevard, Suite 6, in Elk Grove; (916) 896-5341.
