How to make ice cream rolls at home

A few hours before you want to eat the ice cream rolls place your sheet pan or ice cream roll kit pan in the freezer. Now it is time to make the ice cream base. In a sauce pot add the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, and sugar.

Heat the liquid ice cream base

Set the burner to medium-high and heat the mixture and stir it until it bubbles. This will only take a few minutes. Make sure to continually stir the mixture.

Why are we doing this? Because you want the sugar to dissolve properly in the cream and milk. After it gets really hot just at a slight boil, remove it from the heat.

Allow it to cool for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature. Then transfer it to a small bowl and place that bowl in the fridge for 30 to 40 minutes.

Oreo Cookies and freezing

Remove the very cold sheet pan from the freezer. Dip the Oreo cookies or other toppings into the cold ice cream base and then pour the ice cream mixture out onto the really cold metal surface.

Using clean paint scrapers chop the cookies into the ice cream roll base. This chopping will blend in the cookie as well as add air to the mixture which is what you want.

Scrape it to the center, chop, and repeat several times until it is all mixed.

Then spread it out into a thin layer of ice cream that is around 1/8th of an inch thick. Now place the pan back in the freezer for at least 4 hours.

1 hour before you want to roll them out add a paint scraper to the freezer as well along with whatever bowls you want to serve it in.

Roll out that ice cream

Now remove the freezing cold pan from the freezer and place it on the table or counter. Use a paint scraper at around a 45-degree angle and push away from you which will roll up the ice cream.

Next, grab the rolled ice cream with some tongs and place it in your chilled bowl.

You can serve them like this or add all kinds of different toppings.

Finish off those ice cream rolls

There are so many things you can add to the top. Some of my favorites are whipped cream, chocolate chips, and nuts. Some other toppings that come to mind are chocolate syrup, hot fudge sauce, strawberry syrup, caramel, other fruit sauces, etc. Get creative with it. Now serve it up and enjoy it!

Ice Cream Rolls Troubleshooting Tips

• Sometimes the ice cream won’t roll correctly and will get soft and mushy. This means the ice cream wasn’t cold enough. It needs to sit in the freezer for at least four hours.
• Make sure to chill the ice cream scraper as well. A room temp scraper will soften the ice cream too quickly.
• To keep them from melting too quickly, you can add them to a chilled bowl.

Can I just use melted vanilla ice cream?

I have tried allowing vanilla ice cream to melt then adding the cookies, freezing it, and trying and roll it, but haven’t had much success that way. But in theory, it should work fine.

Can I add cocoa powder to make it chocolate rolled ice cream?

Yes! Add about a tbsp of cocoa powder to the milk and cream as it is heating up. The heat will bloom the cocoa powder giving it a rich chocolate flavor.
