Vancouver Would Be Cooler If It Had Someone Selling Churro Ice Cream Bowls

churrobowl2

(via) Holy good goddam do we every want to dig into a churro ice cream bowl! The heavenly treat has been breaking the internet for a couple of weeks now after news came of their beautiful existence via an Australian establishment called Milky Lane which – incidentally – isn’t even open yet (launches May 6th). So with nothing to go on but a few teasing photographs, Buzzfeed’s Tasty channel on Youtube showed us how to make ’em last week in the video below. As far as we’re aware churro bowls have yet to make landfall in Vancouver (not even at Hugo’s, home of the churro ice cream sandwich), but we trust they’re just around the corner. Get on it, somebody, and tag us using #ScoutYVR when you’re done.
