On June 22, Big Gay Ice Cream stopped by Nico Osteria, 1015 N. Rush St., collaborating with Nico Pastry Chef Leigh Omilinsky to create several dishes, including Dirty Banana (caramelized banana and brown sugar ice cream and a cacao-nib biscotti), Apricot Gobbler (a mini-pie crust filled with a scoop of roasted vanilla ice cream, topped with a spot of bourbon and apricot-infused whipped cream) and Out & Proud Pops (raspberry,- coconut- or mango-flavored freeze pops, submerged in a shot of tequila), among others.
Nico is offering the dishes all of Pride Weekend, with a portion of the proceeds going to Howard Brown Health.
