Making ice cream rolls is a fun and unique way to enjoy this exotic treat. It’s easy to make, requiring only a few simple ingredients and minimal time. Plus, it looks just as impressive as it tastes! This step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to make homemade ice cream rolls quickly and easily. In this article, we’ll cover two ways to make this exotic dessert.

The first one is an easy method that you can do at home and the second one is a professional method that uses the Thai Rolled Ice Cream Maker.

Homemade Rolled Ice Cream

The key to making Thai Rolled Ice is that you need a frozen plate that you can mix and “stir fry” your ingredients on. To do this at home, you need to freeze a metal plate or tray. We recommend using one like this:

Once your plate is frozen, you can start making your Rolled Ice Cream! The ingredients are simple: sweetened condensed milk, cream, and any flavorings or toppings of your choice (we love adding fruit, chocolate chips, and more).

Start by combining the condensed milk, cream, and flavorings in a large bowl. Mix until fully combined. Next, pour the mixture onto your frozen plate and begin to “stir-fry” with two metal spatulas. This will create small patches of ice cream on the frozen plate. Continue to move the mixture around until it’s frozen and you have a large, even layer of ice cream on your plate.

Then, use your two metal spatulas again to scrape up the edges of the rolled ice cream. This will help create perfect rolls when you are ready to serve. Place the rolls on a plate or baking sheet and put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.

Make Thai Rolled Ice Cream with a Machine

If you want to make professional Ice Cream Rolls then you’re most likely going to need to invest in a machine. There are two types of machines that you can use. A smaller, at-home model, and a big commercial Ice Cream Roll Maker.

At Home Thai Rolled Ice Cream Maker

The make-it-at-home model is smaller and cheaper than the big commercial ones but isn’t meant to be used all day like in an ice cream shop. It uses a standard refrigeration method to cool the plate and runs on 120 watts of power.

The professional model is the way to go if you want to open a Rolled Ice Cream shop. This machine has an advanced cooling system that keeps the temperature of the plates cold enough for your ingredients to freeze quickly and consistently. It also has a bigger plate, so you can make more Thai Rolled Ice Cream at once.

The process of making Rolled Ice Cream with either machine is the same as the method outlined above. Simply mix your ingredients, pour them onto the frozen plate, and “stir-fry” it until it’s frozen. Then, use two metal spatulas to scrape up the edges and form perfect rolls.

Tips & Tricks:

  1. For an extra creamy texture, you can use a higher fat-content cream.
  2. If you’re making the ice cream with a machine, use the lowest setting to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
  3. To keep your plate cold, store it in the freezer between uses.
  4. Feel free to get creative and try different flavor combos! Just make sure to add any additional ingredients after the ice cream has been formed and frozen.
  5. Assemble your rolls immediately before serving; otherwise, they will start to melt!
  6. Have fun and enjoy!

Should You Store Rolled Ice Cream?

Ice Cream Rolls should be served immediately as it tends to melt quickly. However, if you have leftovers or need to store the ice cream for any reason, you can simply put them in an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to a week
