It's-It Ice Cream is a popular ice cream sandwich that originated in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, in 1928. It was created by George Whitney and has since become a beloved treat among locals and visitors alike.

History

It's-It Ice Cream was first introduced by George Whitney, who owned and operated the Playland amusement park in San Francisco. Whitney wanted to create a unique and delicious treat that would stand out from other ice cream desserts. He came up with the idea of combining ice cream with oatmeal cookies and dipping the entire sandwich in chocolate coating.

The original It's-It Ice Cream flavor was vanilla, but over the years, the company has expanded its offerings to include other flavors such as chocolate, mint, and strawberry. The combination of creamy ice cream, chewy oatmeal cookies, and rich chocolate coating quickly gained popularity and became a staple at Playland.

Production

It's-It Ice Cream is made using high-quality ingredients. The ice cream used in the sandwiches is made from fresh milk and cream, giving it a rich and creamy texture. The oatmeal cookies are baked to perfection, providing a chewy and flavorful base for the ice cream. Finally, the entire sandwich is coated in a layer of smooth and decadent chocolate.

The production process involves carefully assembling the ice cream sandwiches by placing a scoop of ice cream between two oatmeal cookies. The sandwiches are then dipped in the chocolate coating, ensuring that every bite is filled with a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Popularity

It's-It Ice Cream quickly gained popularity among locals and tourists visiting the San Francisco Bay Area. The unique combination of ingredients and the nostalgic appeal of the treat made it a favorite among ice cream enthusiasts.

Over the years, It's-It Ice Cream has expanded its distribution beyond Playland and can now be found in various grocery stores, ice cream shops, and restaurants throughout the region. It has also gained recognition and acclaim from food critics and publications, further solidifying its status as a beloved local delicacy.
