Yes, Please!"},"content":{"rendered":"

London designers Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien, founders of the company\u00a0Doshi Levien<\/a>,\u00a0have finally brought together two of our favorite things; design and ice cream! The design duo were tapped for a unique design by gourmet ice cream company H\u00e4agen-Dazs, and they didn’t disappoint, creating\u00a0an avant-garde cratered, moon-shaped ice cream cake dubbed the “Ice Moon”.<\/p>\n

The designers listed a variety of inspirations for this tasty design, citing everything from silent films to Bollywood music. Standouts were Georges M\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 1902 French silent film Le Voyage Dans La Lune<\/em>, Armenian surrealist L\u00e9on Tutundjian\u2019s 1929 relief works, childhood Bollywood songs and the shape of early ice cream\u00a0‘Bombes’.<\/p>\n

In an interview posted by the\u00a0designers, they said; \u201cOur concept is almost spherical, so the ice cream has to be moulded in two separate parts and then put together without seeing the join.\u00a0We love the ephemeral nature of ice cream and design to be eaten; we never had a design meeting before in which we ate the prototype.\u201d<\/p>\n

The “Ice moon” will be available from\u00a0H\u00e4agen-Dazs in\u00a0two colors (read: flavors) – white and orange. The white moon has a pistachio base, with layers of macadamia nut ice cream, meringue and raspberry ice cream. The orange moon has a crunchy chocolate base, with layers of nutty ice cream, salty caramel and vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n
