What's better than a doughnut? How about an ice cream sandwich doughnut?

Is there anything better than a tasty doughnut?

What if I were to tell you there was a place where you could take that delicious doughnut and jam that sucker full of ice cream, and call it an ice cream sandwich doughnut?

Firecakes: The Best in Illinois

That's an actual thing because Firecakes Donuts in Chicago does just that and has been crowned Illinois' top dog when deciding Illinois' best doughnuts, according to LoveFood.

That "best doughnut" honor goes to their incredibly delicious ice cream sandwich, which takes plain old doughnuts to another level.

Imagine This Dessert Dream

Picture this: a light and fluffy house-made doughnut sliced open and stuffed with mouth-watering ice cream, then topped with chocolate drizzle or sprinkles.

It will have you thinking is a doughnut a dessert?" or a breakfast going forward.

LoveFood loves the ice cream sandwich at Firecakes so much that they say, "There's nothing about the phrase "donut sandwich ice cream sandwich" they don't like.
