What's for Dinner Wednesday has changed names again
and is now What Can I Eat that's Gluten Free?
This week, we are focusing on cold treats, and so I am featuring Ben & Jerry's. My birthday was Sunday, and I love ice cream cake, but I haven't been able to enjoy any for a while. Ben & Jerry's is my new hero. See, the Dairy Queen, Carvel, and Maggie Moo's cakes all have a cookie crumble or cake layer or both, but Ben & Jerry's allows you to have a gluten-free cake.
You have two options: all ice cream or you can bring in your own filling. You can bring in cookies or brownies, whichever you like, and then you place a special order. The Ben & Jerry's that I visited had a binder at the counter that listed all the gluten free ice creams. I chose Phish Food and Vanilla, chose my cake style, and handed over my brownies. The clerk wrote "GLUTEN FREE - USE CUSTOMER BROWNIES" in the special instructions. Even better: we got a discount for bringing in our own brownies.
I came back a day and a half later to pick it up, and it looked good and tasted good, too.
Check the Ben & Jerry's website for a location near you!
YUM!! So glad you were able to enjoy your "cake!" Happy Birthday again!!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop drooling long enough to comment. I'm glad you could have your favorite cake. Phish Food is my second favorite B&J flavor. I'm sure you can guess the first.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I am so glad you got to have your cake. Happy belated birthday.
ReplyDeletethat looks so good. It's hot here and now I want ice cream. Gotta go...
ReplyDeletethat is really cool! Happy B-day :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited! My husband used to buy me an ice cream cake for my bday, but I haven't had one since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Unfortunately, my bday was just last month. I'll have to get one anyway. Thanks for sharing this information!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I'm saying "what's GF that I can eat" about 10 times a day!
