The Best Dessert

Of all the desserts, I spiritually align with the ice cream sandwich. Although it may not be as visually appealing compared to other desserts, I think the chocolate and the ice cream inside should be more than enough to get people hooked on it.

A Connection

Apart from being one of my favorite desserts and snacks to have, I believe that it also aligns with my identity. The simplicity in the sandwich, the hidden depth, and the approachability are traits I find in myself too. It is the placement of two soft biscuits with ice cream filled in between. It may sound simple, but its flavor is quite amazing. There is no need for toppings or extra appeal; the true taste lies in the simple sandwich itself. It doesn’t try to hide what’s inside and likes to be straightforward. This is something I relate to myself as well.

As can be seen from the image, there is a contrast between the biscuit and the inner ice cream. The soft, melting ice cream represents my inner self. Despite being laid back, there is more about me beneath the surface, just like the sandwich. I consider myself an introvert to the extent that I don’t reveal much about myself until I get to know the other person better. This is much like how you would be unable to see the true greatness of the sandwich unless you give it a bite.

The Memories

This dessert has been my favorite since my childhood. It was the default ice cream that I used to go for whenever I saw it available. It was something I could eat without making a mess and was quick and easy to enjoy. It was the snack of my summer and one that bonded me and many of my friends.

Why Try It?

When it comes to convincing someone to try it, I would first point out that it contains chocolate and ice cream—two things many adore. I would also add that it can be enjoyed anywhere, whether you are at home, on the go, or outside. It is a snack that can be eaten straight out of a wrapper without much preparation. It’s a dessert that isn’t too overcomplicated or too heavy on sugar in terms of health, while also tasting good at the same time. In summary, an ice cream sandwich is the perfect choice for dessert.
