donut ice cream sandwiches

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

As Leah reported last week, Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop is now serving Donut Ice cream Sandwiches! Last Friday in a surprise to Leah…klk and I picked up two of these bad boys and brought them over to share.

They are a decadent desert, and not meant to be eaten by just one person.

Sandwich one: Coconut Chocolate Cake Donut with Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

Sandwich two: Sour Cream Glazed Donut with Chocolate Ice Cream

The winner by far was sandwich number two, but that might have had something to do with the cookies and cream melting immediately.  No matter what, this is something that I plan on enjoying several more times this summer…I’m really glad I’m back to biking to work with this calorie intake right around the corner.

We are not the only one who as tried these…McG also has.  It seems like he enjoyed it as well.

red velvet…donut!

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

It is no secret that I think the best donut shop in the entire world is Peter Pan Donut & Pastry on Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint.  This place is just a short walk from my house, and currently my favorite donut is the Sour Cream Glazed….but this might be changing…

This past Saturday was a brew day (beer, we made a rye ipa), so klk and I picked up a dozen before Jerry and John got over to the house.  But as we walked past the window a single tray of donuts caught our eyes, and as we turned in the door our eyes stayed glued on that tray.

The color of the donut was red with glaze, as pictured above.  Our initial thought was Red Velvet!  But Peter Pan had never had that flavor of donut before.  The girl behind the counter assured us that they were Red Velvet, and that they were still hot!  Of course we got three of them.  Not only did we get to try the new flavor, but we got to try it in it’s most delicious state…immediately after it was glazed.

I will assure you that Peter Pan’s Red Velvet Donut is delicious, and that you should try it.  I was doing really good staying away from the donuts (I love them, but they don’t love me), but this might break that cycle…I even had to stop and get another one this morning…if they happen to be gone, I can always go with my old favorite Sour Cream Glazed…but sadly those typically sell out too.
