WATCH | Avocado ice cream toast is a thing, and it's available in New York City's East Village.
History of a quirky dessert
Nick Morgenstern, owner of Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream, created the dessert in collaboration with Brutal Magazine for its Brutal Breakfast series in 2015.
We were feeling that avocado ice cream had gotten kind of tired. There's avocado toast everywhere all the time, so we kind of thought of it as a joke and it became very popular.
