The Multiverse’s Best Ice Cream

By Rylee Denoi

Others’ favorite ice cream flavors might be chocolate, vanilla, butter pecan, cookies n cream, and mint chocolate chip. I recently started to love cookie dough ice cream. The cookie dough is hard but then it melts in your mouth. The taste is indescribable. Let me tell you how this obsession started. My mother and I went downtown to a Häagen-Dazs store. I had Häagen-Daz before but it was just vanilla ice cream. While we were driving I realized I don’t eat other flavors of ice cream, just vanilla, which we all know is basic. Might I add, the reason we were going to Häagen-Dazs was that I had just done a show (because I’m a dancer). So I decided in my mind I should get something out of the ordinary. We waited twenty minutes in a line because there were two people in at a time. It was also a weekend in May and it was HOT. So that ice cream would be the perfect reward. I had finally got inside and looked at the menu. I saw cookie dough ice cream and decided since I like cookie dough and vanilla, they together sound good. I got the magical ice cream and was kinda nervous to taste it. I have a certain routine/normalcy I like to follow and when I step out of the routine/normalcy I’m stepping into a galaxy where there are a bunch of stars and every new star is a new adventure or possibility. I don’t like to step out of my comfort zone, but of course, I still did it because I live life to the fullest. So anyway back to the story: I had got medium-sized ice cream. I opened it, squeezed my eyes shut, and quickly like I was running a race, stuck my spoon in and ate it. Unsurprisingly it was good—actually, not

good. It was delightful, tasteful, and scrumptious. So this time I tried it much slower. I got to bite into a cookie dough ball. It was so good I can’t put it into words. Ever since then, cookie dough ice cream has been my favorite and I’m convinced it’s the best ice cream in the multiverse.
