Rolled ice cream is as much a show as a dessert. A liquid base is poured onto a freezing-cold plate, mixed with mix-ins, spread thin and then scraped into tight rolls, all in a couple of minutes and right in front of you. If you are looking for rolled ice cream in Surrey, BC, here is how it works, what makes it good, and the flavours we make at Waffle Bliss, including South Asian favourites like Rasmalai, Gulab Jamun and Milk Cake.
How rolled ice cream is made
Rolled ice cream, sometimes called stir-fried ice cream, started as a street dessert in Thailand. The process is simple to watch and hard to master:
- A liquid ice cream base is poured onto a very cold steel plate.
- Mix-ins such as cookies, fruit or chocolate are chopped and folded in as the base starts to freeze.
- The mixture is spread into a thin, even sheet.
- Once it sets, it is scraped into rolls with a spatula and stood up in a cup.
- Toppings and sauces go on last.
Because each cup is made to order, rolled ice cream tastes fresh and the mix-ins are spread through every roll rather than sitting on top.
What makes rolled ice cream good
- Thin, even sheets roll neatly and have a smooth texture.
- Real mix-ins like crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate pieces add flavour all the way through.
- Flavours you will not find in a grocery freezer make the trip worthwhile.
- Made in front of you so you know it is fresh.
