Brooklyn’s Heap’s Ice Cream is revving up the dessert game just in time for spring with its first-ever lineup of ice cream sandwiches and ice cream cakes—a sweet new collaboration between Heap’s founder Matt Lieber and pastry chef Sarah Sanneh, co-owner of Pies ‘n’ Thighs.
Known for scooping nostalgic, super-premium ice cream from its sunny corner shop in Park Slope, Heap’s is now packaging the magic for your next birthday party, park picnic, or solo snack session on a stoop.
The new treats capture the playful, deeply satisfying spirit of the shop’s best-sellers, but in portable, party-ready formats. Here’s what to expect:
Ice Cream Sandwich Flavors
Confetti Cotton Candy – Sprinkle sugar cookies with whimsical Cotton Candy ice cream, reminiscent of the ultimate birthday cake
Salted Toffee Caramel – English toffee sugar cookies paired with sophisticated Salted Caramel ice cream—perfect for all ages
Chocolate Chip – A classic combination of chocolate chip cookies with Bold Vanilla ice cream, offering a satisfying bite
Each sandwich is $9.50 and designed in a rectangular shape for maximum handheld delight. Look out for limited-edition collab flavors coming this summer.
Ice Cream Cakes
Vanilla Chip Cake – Buttermilk chocolate chip cake layered with whipped confetti cream and Bold Vanilla ice cream
Chocolate Fudge Cake – Devil’s food cake with rich fudge and Vanilla Fudge Ripple ice cream
Cakes are available in 6- or 8-inch sizes (serving up to 10 ($55) or 15 ($80), respectively), and can be personalized with edible chocolate lettering. The optional Party Pack adds candles and Heap’s-branded plates for an extra festive touch.
Orders must be placed 48 hours in advance online or in-store at heapsicecream.com.
Heap’s Ice Cream is located at 171 7th Ave in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Hours are expanding to daily 11:30 AM–10 PM starting April 14. Follow the flavor drops at <a%20href="mailto:@heaps.icecream">@heaps.icecream</a>.
