New Yorkers are waiting hours for this freaky new ice creamBy Haley GoldbergAugust 28, 2015 | 6:00amS’mores Galore is mixed with graham crackers and chocolate and topped with Teddy Grahams, a blowtorched marshmallow and more.Photo: Kristy LeibowitzIt’s only 6 p.m. on a Wednesday, but 10Below ice cream shop in Chinatown has already sold out of its most popular flavor — I Love You a Latte, which blends Stumptown cold-brew coffee with chocolate chips.And yet Edis Kandic, 24, of Astoria, still has to wait 30 minutes for an Oreo-packed Cookie Monster in a paper cup.“Last Thursday I tried to get it, but I waited 30 or 40 minutes without the line moving!” says Kandic, who had first seen the ice cream on his Instagram feed.Ever since it opened in July, tucked between Chinese restaurants and spas at 10 Mott St., foodies from far and wide have been waiting up to three hours to get a taste of 10Below, which serves an American twist on Thai ice cream rolls.The frozen concoction is created by pouring liquid homemade ice cream onto a cold plate reaching temps well below zero. Employees mix in toppings, flatten it out like a crepe, and then scrape it into ice-cold rolls with a putty-knife-like tool. The result is five cute little rolls with toppings ranging from fresh strawberries to a blowtorched marshmallow and Teddy Grahams. (The store offers eight different flavor combinations, each $7 including tax.)
