Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Fruit Roll-Ups any flavor, classic style holds shape best
  • 6 small scoops vanilla ice cream about 1 heaping teaspoon per bite, keep scoops small so the roll-up can fully close
  • 6 sheets parchment paper cut to size, one per bite, do not skip

Method
 

  1. Lay a piece of parchment paper flat on the counter or on a baking sheet for each bite you plan to make.
  2. Unroll one Fruit Roll-Up and place it flat on the parchment paper. It does not need to be perfectly flat.
  3. Place a small scoop of vanilla ice cream (about 1 heaping teaspoon) in the center of the roll-up.
  4. Quickly fold the edges of the roll-up over the ice cream one at a time, pressing gently to seal. Work fast before the ice cream softens the roll-up too much.
  5. Repeat with remaining Fruit Roll-Ups and ice cream until all bites are assembled.
  6. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for about 5 minutes, or until the outside feels firm and crunchy to the touch.
  7. Serve immediately while the outside is crunchy and the inside is still cold and soft. These soften quickly at room temperature.

Notes

Keep scoops small: A heaping teaspoon to a small tablespoon is the sweet spot. Too much ice cream and the roll-up won't close properly.
Work fast: Once the ice cream touches the roll-up it starts to soften. Scoop onto each roll-up first, then fold one at a time.
Patch any tears: If a roll-up rips while folding, press a small piece from another roll-up over the tear to seal it. Nobody will notice once it's frozen.
Make ahead for parties: Assemble a batch, freeze on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container with parchment between layers. Best within 1-2 days.
Flavor combos: Try matching roll-up and ice cream flavors (strawberry with strawberry, berry with vanilla) for a more cohesive taste.
Do not skip parchment: The roll-up gets sticky as it softens and will stick to plates, counters, and anything else it touches.
Storage: Store leftovers in a sealed container in the freezer with parchment between layers. Texture is best within the first 1-2 days; after that the roll-up gets harder and loses the crunchy-then-soft contrast.
