The rolled ice cream trend has finally arrived in West Dearborn. Within a month of opening its second location in Michigan 鈥 with the first in Ann Arbor 鈥 the Thai ice cream chain, , still has hundreds of customers lining out the door each day. And believe me when I say, these ice creams rolls are well worth the wait.
Ice cream enthusiasts are bound to go crazy over the ice cream shop鈥檚 12 specialty ice creams, like the irresistible vanilla 鈥淐ookie Spree,鈥 garnished with brownies, Oreos, and chocolate sauce or the 鈥淪upreme Berry鈥 topped with chopped strawberries, berries, and raspberries. For the ultimate summer meltdown, try their three limited-edition听flavors: Honeydew Coconut, Pina Colada, and Coconut Sticky Rice. There is also a create-your-own special, so the ice cream roll combinations are truly limitless.
The rolling operation starts with mixing a flavored powder 鈥 chocolate, sweet cream, or Vietnamese coffee to name a few 鈥 with your choice of regular or coconut milk. The ice cream mixture is frozen on a metal plate that can get as cold as negative 15 degrees. Then it鈥檚 scraped, rolled to into creamy perfection, and finally, topped with fresh ingredients. Strawberry and cheesecake are among the top customer favorites.
Owner and manager, Jamal Alaouieh, believes I-CE-NY stands apart from any other ordinary ice cream shop because of their quality ingredients and creative technique and presentation.
鈥淲e don鈥檛 scoop our ice cream from a bucket,鈥 he says. 鈥淐ustomers love the product and enjoy the process of it being freshly made in front of them.鈥 It鈥檚 time to ditch the scoop. The rolled ice cream fad is here to stay.
