First of all, I am still in the discovery and trial phase, of which I would like to tell you here. If you have already made experience with the roll ice cream production, then let me gladly share in the comments.

What is rolled ice cream?

Rolled Ice Cream has its Origin in Thailand. There it is called "ai-tim phat" (translated "scraped ice cream"). The production of rolled ice cream has become a tradition in Thailand. Art form have become.

The ice cream vendors conjure up the ice cream directly in front of the customers on a cooled Stainless steel plate.

What do you need to make rolled ice cream?

A wide variety of articles explain that Rolled Ice Cream can also be made quite simply on a uncoated sheet metal or glass plate can do. However, I think not that this is a good method and rather spoils the production of Rolled Ice Cream.

This already starts with very practical things. My Freezer compartment is not big enoughto freeze a larger sheet. For this you need rather a freezer.

The smaller your freezer, the less surface area you have and the less ice you get out. If we start from a normal freezer compartment going out you end up getting Rolled Ice Cream in the Order of magnitude of about one ice cream scoop out (50 -70 g). For one person and the small hunger this may be okay. But if you Several people want to make happy, this variant is unsuitable.

Whether you decide to use the sheet metal method or purchase your own equipment. It is essential to properly good spatula to use for chopping, spreading and rolling. Without a sharp edge and flat tapered spatula, it will be very difficult to make beautiful ice rolls. With self-cooling devices, these spatulas are usually included.

Therefore I am just thinking about getting a Device with compressor to purchase. According to the Aldi website, it should be available in June one ice roll plate give. Maybe this is the opportunity to test the whole thing? I will definitely take a closer look at the machine. Unfortunately, I have not yet found any information about the offer. But purely visually it could be the same ice plate, which is also used here by DJ Ice Rolls tested was built and makes a very good impression.
