- Strawberry and crushed cookies: Add a crunchy twist by mixing in crushed cookies with the Natural Strawberry ice cream for a fruity and satisfying treat.
- Custom mix-ins: Experiment with different add-ons by including candy pieces, nuts, or coffee for a twist on your favorite flavors.

Tips for the Perfect Rolled Ice Cream
To get your frozen rolled ice cream just right, here are a few tips:
- Spread thinly. Make sure the ice cream layer is thin enough to roll easily but thick enough to hold its shape when you scrape.
- Work quickly. Ice cream melts fast, so use your spatula swiftly to prevent it from becoming too soft to roll.
- Use the right tools. A butter knife or offset spatula can give you more control for smoother rolling.

FAQs
Do I need special equipment to make rolled ice cream?
You don't need any fancy gadgets to make rolled ice cream at home. While a dedicated ice cream roll pan can make the process easier, you can also use a flat, cold surface like a baking sheet that's been chilled in the freezer. Just make sure you have a good spatula to help you roll the ice cream.
Can I use any Breyers flavor for rolled ice cream?
Absolutely! One of the best things about making rolled ice cream is that you can get creative with your flavors. Whether you love the classic Vanilla Fudge Twirl, crave the refreshing taste of Mint Chocolate Chip, or want to try something from the Better For You options like CarbSmart or No Sugar Added, any Breyers flavor will work wonderfully.
How do I make sure the ice cream doesn’t melt too quickly?
To keep your ice cream from melting too fast, make sure your rolling surface is thoroughly chilled. Place your baking sheet or ice cream roll pan in the freezer for at least 4–6 hours (or overnight for best results). Also, work quickly in a cool room to maintain the frosty texture. Using a pre-chilled spatula can also help keep the process smooth and prevent melting.
Can I make rolled ice cream in advance?
Rolled ice cream is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare it a little ahead of time. Once you've rolled your ice cream, place the rolls on a chilled plate and keep them in the freezer until you're ready to serve.
