My favorite flavor of gelato or ice cream is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and I am always on the hunt for the best brand! When I walked into the Ciao Bella shop down in the World Financial Center my eyes and stomach jumped out of my body! It looked so good, millions of chips swimming in a sea of vanilla with huge chunks of chocolate chip dough! After a sample, which I only asked for to get an extra bite, I was walking away with a beautiful sugar cone stacked high with my favorite treat. Ciao Bello began in 1983 in Little Italy and since then grown into a sensation due to the indulgent and pure gelato they make. Natural, fresh ingredients are combined to create unique and intense flavors of gelato and sorbet. I really could have indulged in many of them such as coconut sorbet or key lime graham cracker! But, there is something about cookie dough that always wins my heart. Ciao Bella makes the BEST cookie dough I have ever tasted. The vanilla base was uber creamy, the chips were thin and crunchy and the balls of dough were chewy and HUGE! If there is a dough heaven, I was in it. The clouds parted, the sun rays came through, and angels holding ice cream cones were singing, looking down on me. We all were smiling as we licked away! Well, that’s what it felt like anyway. xoxo Blondie
