Sugar Rush: Brownie Sundae at Chickalicious Dessert Club
The line of post dinner guests, hankering for sweets, at the Chickalicious Dessert Club has gotten no shorter since the New York Times article and our initial mention of their vanilla bean soft-serve. The soft-serve itself has improved significantly, losing that odd plastic aftertaste encountered in past visits. With that in mind, Chickalicious is worth revisiting often—especially for the new Brownie Sundae. Composed of soft-serve with toasted pistachios, shredded kafti and brownies, the sundae is almost completely created in the kitchen. The silky dark hot fudge is poured over the sundae tableside. The taste? Some kind of crazy lusciousness that combinines the delicate crunch of kafti with toasted pistachios and small brownies squares. The whole thing is held together by a tall tower of fudge drenched soft-serve. This is one dessert you won't want to share.
