Hi Bold Bakers!
When it comes to baking, most of the time I stick to Bold visions of the classics and steer clear of novelty. That said when making no-bake sweet treats, candies and frozen desserts, I really like things that are over the top, fun and different! After coming across the internet sensation Thai Rolled Ice Cream in a local LA spot I was floored by how delicious it was. For those of you who have never seen it before it is a MUST try. Rolled Ice Cream, also known as Stir-Fried Ice Cream, is ice cream that is spread thin on a really cold metal surface then scraped up into a perfect spiral. The result is a delicious new way to enjoy rich ice cream–it’s no wonder this exotic treat is such a hit!
How to Make Homemade Rolled Ice Cream
After seeing this Rolled Ice Cream being made I knew I had to give it a try for myself. This is not typically something you would make at home so I knew this would take some experimentation. But after just a few tries I had a plan and was able to make these perfect frozen sweet ice cream rolls at home. It turns out it’s really a lot simpler than you might think. I simply started with my classic No Machine Ice Cream recipe of sweetened condensed milk and cream. That’s right, the base of this Rolled Ice Cream is just 2 ingredients and even better than that these 2 ingredients are mixed up right on the baking tray they are frozen in. After mixing together on my cold tray, I got creative and added some of my favorite flavorings.
Rolled Ice Cream Flavors
I created 3 delicious Rolled Ice Cream flavors, but once you have this recipe down I encourage you to get creative and experiment with whatever you like.
- Nutella Rolled Ice Cream: Add a bit of Nutella to your ice cream mix before you freeze it for a delicious hazelnut treat. Decorate it with a Ferrero Rocher for an extra kick.
- Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Rolls: You’ll love this version featuring diced berries, crushed graham crackers and cream cheese. Top it with a strawberry and graham cracker strips.
- Oreo Ice Cream Rolls: Simply crush up Oreo cookies into your ice cream base. Top it off with a whole Oreo Cookie for added effect.
What’s incredible is each flavor sets up super fast and from there they’re really easy to roll.
How to Make Ice Cream Rolls
For each flavor I run a thin spatula between the thin layer of ice cream and the chilled tray. Before your eyes the magic happens! Little spirals of ice cream form. For each flavor I roll 4 to 6 rolls and place them in a portable serving container. After topping with additional whipped cream these Homemade Rolled Ice Creams are ready to steal the show. Your friends and family will be beyond impressed with this dessert; no one will believe you made this at home so easily!

Homemade Rolled Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup (8floz / 240ml) cream
- 1/2 cup (5oz /150g) condensed milk
Mix-ins: - Strawberry cheesecake
- 3 strawberries , diced
- 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- Nutella Rolled Ice cream
- 2 tablespoons
- Cookies and Cream Rolled Ice Cream
- 3 Oreo Cookies
Instructions
- To make your rolled ice cream base add the cream and condensed milk to a large metal baking tray and mix to combine.
- For strawberry cheesecake: Using an offset spatula mix in the cream cheese, graham crackers and strawberries. Break up the chunks of each ingredient until the mixture is evenly combined.
- For cookies and cream: Using an offset spatula break up the Oreo cookies into small crumbs until evenly combined through out the ice cream base.
- For Nutella: Using an offset spatula mix the Nutella into the ice cream base until thoroughly combined and even in color.
- Once combined, place your tray of ice cream flat in the freezer and freeze solid for a minimum of 5 hours or preferably over night.
- When ready to serve remove your frozen tray from the freezer and place on a flat surface covered with a tea towel (this is to secure the tray when rolling).
- Work very very quickly as this ice cream can melt fast! Using your offset spatula, run your spatula under the ice cream carefully rolling it into itself to form a spiral shape. Repeat this 4 more times to serve 1.
- Still working quickly, using a tongs gently place your spirals of rolled ice cream into your serving container of choice.
- Top with additional whipped cream and corresponding toppings of your choice. Enjoy immediately!

Could you use this recipe with a rolled ice cream machine?
It worked ok… maybe not the best on rolling, but still good on taste. It also melted too fast. It only lasted 10 seconds before almost the whole thing melted.
Thank u for showing this a lov rolled ice cream
How much of the base do you need to make one serving amounting to 5-6 rolls?
This recipe was amazing!! I had the wrong kind of tray so it didn’t roll well, but the taste was phenomenal
