This summer the Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Trucks (there are two now) have successfully elbowed their way into New York City's booming "dessert truck" market by peddling a creamy, gourmet ice cream that makes Kool Man look like Fool Man.

Benjamin Van Leeuwen, the young founder of the company, recently told us a little bit about what sets his artisanal product apart from the others.
