#Sixteenbefore16: 2 of 16

Where are our Ice Cream lovers at!? If you don't know this by now, I (Tey) am obsessed with Ice Cream. To the point where I used to consume 32 ounces of ice cream in less than 24 hours... true story. This was before my metabolism decided to jump ship so I try not to do it as often but I still have no issue making ice cream my appetizer, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd course for dinner and of course dessert. With this in mind, you'll understand why I put up a good fight to add at least 15 ice cream shops to our "Sixteen Before 16" Challenge - didn't quite happen but we agreed on adding one.

CREAM is relatively new to our city and it's been on our "to-try" list since it first opened up earlier this year. More than just a creative acronym (Cookies Rule Everything Around Me) CREAM offers up amazingly delicious cookie/ice cream sandwiches at an inexpensive price. One thing that we LOVED about CREAM - the plethora of options they have. Hellooooo free samples! With over 25 flavors of ice cream, 15 toppings, and 16 cookies - there truly is an option for EVERYONE. Including cookies for Vegans, those that are gluten Intolerant, and even ice cream for those that are lactose intolerant! They thought about everyone and their pocketbooks.

First things first, we decided if we wanted a classic ice cream sandwich, cup, cone, malt, shake, float, cream taco, coffee drink or Sundae (...we weren't kidding when we told you they had a plethora of options). Aaron decided on a sundae in a cup and I went with the cream taco: #bestlifechoiceever! After marrying the man of my dreams of course.  13 samples later (literally) we both decided on what flavors of ice cream we wanted to throw in the mix and lastly selected what toppings we wanted to add to these glorious creations.

I'd say we made some solid picks:
Aaron - Cup Sundae // Chocoholic Ice Cream // Chocolate Chip Cookie // M&Ms and Peanut Butter
Tey - Cream Taco // Very Berry Strawberry, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Royal Carmel Swirl Ice Cream // Oreo and Nutella Toppings

The only bad news about this amazing company - if you're not living in California, you may be sorry out of luck as currently, nearly all locations are located in Cali (with ONE located in Viva Las Vegas). Good news being, we have high bets that these well kept west coast treats will surely be traveling north and east real soon. Be sure to check out their IG page and website to see what it's like when you purchase this heavenly treat.
