The process starts by pouring milk on the iced grill after which other ingredients are added (fruits, Nutella, Oreo, Chocolate etc…) and mixed right on the surface of the iced grill. After the mix obtains consistency, it’s spread evenly across the surface of the iced grill and then scrapped from it using a paint scraper by rolling it towards the end of the iced grill.

- Start by mixing the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and salt straight into a large metal skillet or large cooking pan.
- Stir everything til it combines using a heat resistant spatula.
- Place the skillet on the stove over high heat and continue stirring til the milk gets hot and the sugar dissolves. If you don’t stir constantly the sugar will start burning on the bottom of the skillet.
- When the mixture starts boiling remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- When the base will cool down, add the other ingredients you chose. You can choose from a variety of toppings such as sprinkles, Nutella, Oreo, fresh fruits, dry fruits and so on. (The more you add the harder it will be to roll at the end)

- Important: Before you take the skillet out of the freezer don’t forget to freeze the bowl you will use to store the rolls and the paint scrapers you will use to scrape and roll the ice cream into the freezer for at least 15-30 minutes. The rolls will be very thin so they will absorb heat very well and will start melting as soon as you make them so it’s crucial to serve them in cold dishes and use cold tools while you are scraping them.
- Important: After the freezing time has passed make sure you are ready to start scraping because this is something that needs to be done right after you remove the skillet from the freezer. Quickly scrape the ice cream into rolls by starting from one end at an angle and pushing carefully to the other end. If the ice cream doesn’t roll don’t panic, get a butter knife and help with the forming of the rolls.
- Get the frozen bowl out of your freezer and place each roll in your bowl for serving. You can top the rolls with whatever you choose. More fruit maybe or some caramel, some sprinkles maybe.
