So, I was feeling really jealous after writing about the Van Leeuwen trucks that deliver organic ice cream to New York City’s not-so-huddled masses. I wanted to find a Southern California clone—and I hit the jackpot. Coolhaus has upped the ante here in Los Angeles, with a made-to-order ice cream sandwich buffet on wheels. And according to co-owner Natasha Case, her chilly treats are handmade with organic and all-natural ingredients, whenever possible. As for available flavors, the choices range from the expected (vanilla bean, strawberry, Meyer lemon) to the eclectic: mascarpone balsamic fig, carrot cake, brown butter with candied bacon and even foie gras. Special flavors change seasonally, as with this week’s strawberry jalapeño, root beer and peach cobbler with bourbon. Here’s the best part: Once you pick your ice cream, you can select the handmade cookies in which it’s sandwiched—from chocolate and snickerdoodle to chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. (Brioche is also available.) To find the truck on any given day, follow Coolhaus on Facebook or Twitter.

Move over, Good Humor man! The old-fashioned ice cream truck has experienced a dramatic makeover. Lucky New Yorkers can hook up with Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream, whose trucks have a huge Twitter and Facebook following. Think of it as ice cream by appointment: Loyal patrons use the social networking sites to find out where the company’s three trucks will be parked each day. Van Leeuwen’s ice creams are made with carefully sourced ingredients: fresh, local and organic, with no stabilizers or preservatives. The most popular flavors include vanilla and pistachio, but why not opt for ginger, red currant or peppermint & chip? Coffees, lattes, teas and hot chocolate are also available, made with locally produced organic milk. Cups, spoons, napkins and straws are made from renewable corn or sugarcane husks. New Yorkers can also find Van Leeuwen pints at Whole Foods Market and independent local retailers. Deliciously Organic Frozen Treats
