Metropolitan Bakery gets into the ice cream biz
Also available are ice cream pies.
When Metropolitan Bakery could not buy pints of ice cream anymore, cofounder James Barrett dipped into his pastry chef repertoire to create a line of ice creams, now sold at the Rittenhouse shop (262 S. 19th St.).
The thick, creamy-style ice cream, made with local organic milk and cream and cage-free eggs, is offered in such rotating flavors as pumpkin pie, salted caramel, classic vanilla bean, malted milk chocolate, dairy-free chocolate sorbet, and dairy-free pineapple sorbet.
Also available are ice cream pies, such as a vanilla and malted milk chocolate topped with caramel and salted peanuts on a chocolate cookie bottom, by the slice or whole.
Pints are $8.95, a small pie is $8.95, a large pie is $35, and a pie slice is $4.50.
