Rolled ice cream, created on a specialized freezing surface, involves pouring a liquid ice cream base onto a very cold metal pan. Ingredients like fruit, candies, or cookies are mixed in before the rapidly freezing base is spread thinly and scraped into aesthetically pleasing rolls. This process creates a customizable, freshly made frozen dessert.
This method offers several advantages. The rapid freezing minimizes ice crystal formation, leading to a smoother texture. Furthermore, the open preparation allows for both creative flavor combinations and visual appeal, enhancing the customer experience. Originating in Southeast Asia, this innovative approach to ice cream preparation has gained global popularity in recent years, becoming a popular street food and dessert shop offering.
