It’s Girl Scout Cookies at Sepia
In case the legions of girls hawking cookies at every street corner hasn’t given it away yet, we are in the delicious throes of Girl Scout Cookie season. Temptation is a Thin Mint cookie. And if you’re going to cede to temptation, you may as well raise the bar a little bit by indulging in some of the illustrious Girl Scout Cookie-inspired desserts at Sepia. They’re a lot classier than bingeing on boxes.
The inspired new dessert menu is the handiwork of Sepia’s pastry chef Cindy Schuman, who’s embracing her inner Girl Scout with a handful of cookie-influenced plates. The most popular Girl Scout Cookie, the Thin Mint, takes the shape of a torn chocolate cake with oolong tea ice cream, peppermint, and chocolate sauce, while almond whiskey tapioca with buttercream-filled shortbread is a riff on Trefoils. Another popular Girl Scout staple, the Samoa, gets reinvented as a toffee-coconut car with chocolate and burnt caramel. Then there’s the two peanut butter cookies, Do Si Do’s and Tag Alongs, that each lend nutty inspiration to a dish with peanut butter, chocolate, oatmeal pave, oatmeal ice cream, and rum anglaise.
