Dippin Dots Ice Cream - the World's Most Unique Experience

Added: 05/15/2006

Ice cream is loved all over the world. Ice cream originally became fashionable in Italy and France. Over time, people created recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices. Once the trend was imported to the United States, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were among its fans. Centuries later, Dippin' Dots Ice Cream is bringing you the future of these delicious treats.

A research microbiologist named Curt Jones started dippin Dots ice cream in 1988. Basically, he had the idea to take a process used frequently in research and use it with ice cream. The confection is created by flash freezing ice cream mix in liquid nitrogen. They take little tiny drops of ice cream liquid and drop them into liquid nitrogen, freezing it cryogenically. Since liquid nitrogen is so cold, the droplets freeze super fast and stay in that nice little BB shape. Of course, the ice cream has to be kept super cold until it is eaten so it doesn't melt into a puddle - this is done with dry ice.

In fact, Dippin' Dots is the world's coldest ice cream and certainly the most unique frozen dessert. Dippin Dots the ice cream will make you say "wow" as you spoon the little beads of the most delicious flavors. The ice cream creating process starts with the finest ingredients from Midwest dairy farms, and then adds natural flavorings to produce our 20 different flavors and flavor combinations. Dippin' Dots are flash-frozen using a special patented process.

This super-cold freezing allows our products to maintain their individual "dot" consistency, plus flash freezing at such extremely low temperatures locks-in the flavor and freshness customers enjoy with each cup of Dippin' Dots.

Dippin' Dots has recently entered the take-home, grocery store line of ice creams. The company combined its Dippin Dots ice cream into conventional ice cream mix to produce Dots 'n Cream.
