Where to Get Viral 'Cookie Puss' Cake in the Hudson Valley

There are strange-looking desserts... and then there's Cookie Puss. The unique flagship treat from Carvel Ice Cream is bizarre beyond measure, but getting your hands on one has proved harder than expected for many fans.

If you haven't seen a Cookie Puss before, it can be hard to understand what you're looking at when you finally gaze upon its face. With giant cookie eyes, a hulking ice cream cone nose, and teeny-tiny hands, the creation should be the stuff of nightmares. Instead, it's beloved by millions and continues to sell out across the country.

There are a few select locations in the Hudson Valley where you can get your hands on the viral Cookie Puss cake (Carvel Ice Cream via Facebook/Google Maps)
