Tips & Tricks for the Best DIY Rolled Ice Cream
✅ Use a very cold tray – This helps freeze the mixture quickly for easy rolling.
✅ Work fast – Rolled ice cream melts faster than regular ice cream, so serve immediately.
✅ Try different flavors – Experiment with matcha, caramel, Nutella, or mango puree!
✅ Make it dairy-free – Swap heavy cream for coconut cream and use dairy-free condensed milk.
✅ Don’t overfill the mixture – Too many mix-ins can make rolling difficult!
