White Rabbit Ice Cream@Wanderlust Atwater Village ★

The World-Raved White Rabbit Candy Ice Cream. While it's nice to have a taste of childhood in ice cream, it's a bit overrated. Seasonal and very limited supply. It kind of tasted like milk and sugar (which is what the candy is made out of) or vanilla. Their Mango Sticky Rice Ice Cream was mind-blowing though.

White Rabbit Ice Cream (2 scoops) $7.50

no, they didn't serve it in the candy wrap because of copyright issues
