The Donut Ice Cream Sandwich: Dude, Sweet!

Who needs a cronut when you can work with the pure deliciousness that is a donut? This is especially true when your canvas is Westwood's beloved Stan's Donuts, and what you're doing to up its awesomeness is use it for an ice cream sandwich. That's exactly what they're doing at Umami Burger.
Okay, so we might be a little weary of junk food mash-ups, but we also are already nostalgic at the end of the L.A. County Fair and our access to all that crazy fair food, including things made with donuts. In this case, we're glad Umami didn't opt to get in the donut burger game.
All SoCal Umami locations have the donut sandwiches on their menus for $6 apiece, and the ice cream comes from L.A. Creamery.
Here are the flavors:

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
