This innovative appliance employs a frozen pan to create customized, single-serving desserts. A thin layer of liquid ice cream base is spread on the chilled surface and quickly freezes. The solidified layer is then scraped into visually appealing rolls. Ingredients such as fruit, candy, or nuts can be mixed in before freezing, allowing for a wide range of flavor combinations.
The rising popularity of these appliances can be attributed to several factors. Their compact size makes them suitable for small businesses or home kitchens. The process offers a theatrical element, engaging customers and enhancing the dessert experience. Furthermore, the ability to craft unique flavor combinations and incorporate fresh ingredients appeals to health-conscious consumers. This method of dessert preparation has roots in Southeast Asian street food and has recently gained global recognition.
