The tastiest way to beat the heat

[Bloomberg]( Did somebody say “ice cream burger?” Following a week of record-breaking heat across the U.S., may we present the most delicious way to cool off—especially this [Fourth of July holiday]( weekend. Created by Nick Morgenstern of Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream in New York, [ice cream burgers]( are as genius as they are simple. Making them is almost too easy. A winning combination of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream, on house-made burger buns. Photographer: Evan Ortiz/Bloomberg First, get yourself some burger buns; there should be plenty laying about at whatever cookout you’re attending. (Morgenstern maintains that even Wonder Bread will get the job done in a pinch, folded over into a taco-style snack.) Lightly butter and quickly toast those buns. Then scoop some ice cream in the bun. That’s it. If you want, dress up your burger with some garnishes: chunks of a fruit “relish” or a chocolate, caramel, or berry sauce that might happen to look like barbecue sauce or ketchup. Eat. Chill out. Enjoy. Next time, the author will consider topping her ice cream burger with garnishes like a caramel or berry sauce. Photographer: Kate Krader/Bloomberg Any ice cream flavor will work, but we’d recommend two or three different contrasting ones, both for taste and aesthetic purposes. Maybe peach and vanilla and a caramel-ribboned chocolate? (Yum!) Fruit flavors are especially summery, and Morgenstern says a sorbet or a milk-based sherbet will make the burgers even more refreshing.  For best results the bun should still be warm when you start adding scoops. Photographer: Evan Ortiz/Bloomberg One tip: it helps for the caramelized bun to still be slightly warm when you add the ice cream, so it starts softening into the bread, in the way that the best ice cream sandwiches come together in a bite that melts in your mouth in progressive creamy waves of texture. Have a lot of napkins on hand. If you do it right, it’s not a tidy dish. [Full recipe here.]( Consider an ice cream burger for an instant cool down this holiday weekend.

The sense of revolutionary momentum is running particularly high in New York as the city shakes off Covid.
