Overview
No matter how cold it gets, Melburnians are never ones to say no to a scoop of ice cream. But the city's newest ice cream treat is undeniably summery — and it's almost too cute to eat. Gracing the menu at South Korean soft serve joint Milkcow for a limited time, this watermelon ice cream sandwich features a juicy wedge of watermelon filled with vegan and dairy-free watermelon ice cream and sprinkled with pink Himalayan rock salt. Even those seeds are edible, made from chocolate chips.
Milkcow's version of the frosty treat riffs on the one originally created by Dominique Ansel (of cronut fame) for the Tokyo store, and, more locally, Double Good at Brisbane's Eat Street Markets.
But if you want to get your hands on it now that it's landed in Melbourne, you'll have to be quick — it's only a temporary menu addition, with limited serves sold each day.
You can get the watermelon ice cream sandwich at Milkcow, 287 Swanston Street and Level 2, 260 Collins Street, Melbourne. For more information, visit their Facebook page.
