Cookies and Cream

Playing to the kid inside us all, the ice cream sandwich is back—and better than ever.

Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs

Order dessert at this Ballpark shop and discover slightly spicy Boulder-based Glacier cinnamon ice cream sandwiched between two chewy, thin chipotle chile brownies. The naughty-with-a-bit-of-nice treat echoes the shop’s fearless hot dog combos. 2148 Larimer St., 720-746-9355, bikerjimsdogs.com

Generous Servings Cafe

This brick of a sandwich is a grown-up version of the childhood favorite—right down to the crumbs that stick to your fingers.

A food truck that serves nothing but ice cream sandwiches. Need we say more?
