Try the Milky Bun and other treats at Afters Ice Cream inside Virgin Hotels Las Vegas – Las Vegas Weekly

Afters Ice Cream is well-known for its unique flavors and incredibly Instagrammable desserts. Launched in 2014 by Andy Nguyen and Scott Nghiem, Afters now has 27 Southern California locations, and last year, opened its first Nevada spot at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

You wont find traditional strawberry or chocolate ice cream. Instead, check out the Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts flavor, blending up Pop Tart pastry pieces and a strawberry swirl. Dark Matter Brownie Batter, which originally debuted as a 2018 Rick & Morty pop-up, truly tastes and feels like brownie batter.

You can take your ice cream in a cup or cone, and Afters has plenty of toppings, including several types of cereal, like Fruity Pebbles and Capn Crunch. There are also M&Ms, gummy bears, mochi, peanuts and more. A single scoop is $6.50, two scoops is $8.

Afters also offers ice cream bars ($6.50) and sundaes, floats and milkshakes (all $10). But its the signature Milky Bun ($7.50) that first put the parlor on the map. This memorable dessert features ice cream stuffed between two warm glazed donuts, with the option to add toppings.

You can choose the ice cream for your Milky Bun, and Cookie Monstera mint- and vanilla-based concoction with crushed Oreos and chocolate chip cookiesis a popular choice. And yes, its bright blue, like the favorite character on Sesame Street. If youre looking to even out the sweetness, Salty Oreo might be a good way to go.

If youre not ready to try every flavor in one sitting, take some to go. Afters sells prepacked pints ($12) and quarts ($22), along with hand-scooped take-home options ($14-$24).
