- I think I'm ready to start
- Rectangle.
- Oh!
(upbeat music)
Hi!
I'm Jasmine and I'm a producer on Bring Me.
I love fascinating foods and one thing
that I find super interesting is hand-rolled ice cream.
There's just something so mesmerizing
by the way you roll it, crunch all the ingredients together,
pour in the cream, even the way you hold the spatulas.
So today I'm at Holy Roly in Arcadia, California
where I'm gonna be learning how to roll ice cream by hand!
- [Rocky] Hi everybody, I'm Rocky.
I'm a supervisor here at Holy Roly Ice Cream Arcadia.
We specialize in basically specialty rolled ice cream.
We make all of our bases here inside the store
and we can customize basically any flavor that you want.
You just choose your ice cream,
choose your toppings inside the ice cream,
and choose your toppings on top.
- Hi Rocky.
- Hi Jasmine.
- Where do we begin?
- These are our spatulas.
- How do you hold it, like this, this,
or like this?
- All of the above.
You hold them like this, like this, and like this
so we can roll the ice cream.
We are gonna make the Peanut Butter Cup.
- Is that one of the easier ones?
- Nope, it's more challenging.
- Nice.
- The ingredients are gonna be the vanilla base,
the peanut butter cup, and the peanut butter itself.
We take a scoop of the peanut butter,
slap it on the peanut butter cup,
and slap it on the pan and push it down like that.
Now you start choppin'.
And this just gets a little bit difficult because
as it's on the pan, it's already freezing.
And then, you put on spatula flat,
and we use the other one to crush it.
It helps to get you anger out.
Then we take the vanilla base
and we pour it all around.
And now we do the scoop and the push.
So you scoop and you push.
- Scoop, push.
- Mm-hmm.
Scoop and push, scoop and push.
And then in between that you're gonna keep chopping
so that the ice cream gets mixed
in with the ingredients itself.
And you wanna make sure it isn't freezing too quickly.
- Oh, you moving so fast!
- Keep going around until all the liquid has been frozen.
And then when it's all kind of standing up by itself,
take it on one spatula,
- Uh huh.
- slap it down, and then you start spreading.
You wanna make a big rectangle.
You take whatever is on the spatula,
fill in all of the holes,
and make sure you're getting the middle.
Once you kind of start to see it
getting a little bit more matte on the top
is when you know that you can start rolling it.
There is one side without a a little divot,
there's one side with.
That's the side you wanna roll it.
Take it about three quarters in
so that the rolls aren't too tall.
And you go for it.
So see?
This one started to shatter a little bit.
It means that it's too cold.
(Jasmine gasps)
And then usually when that happens,
we tend to just tilt the spatula up a little bit more
so that it's easier for the ice cream
to fall over on itself.
And then we just put it straight into the bowl.
Because it would be difficult to squeeze that in here,
I put the tongs inside the bowl
and so I can just squeeze it in there.
Same thing with the middle.
Oh, she's having a hard time.
So whenever this happens, I like to just hit it.
So this is the peanut butter cup ice cream.
- It's beautiful.
I think that was easy enough.
- I think so, you should be able to do it.
- I can do it.
- I have faith in you.
- Start with peanut butter on the cup.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Oh that is a little difficult.
- I told you.
- Oh yeah this is so fun!
I'm angry!
(Rocky laughs)
Do I flip it?
- No.
- I'm sorry!
- It's the ice cream time.
- Oh, ice cream time, yeah, oh god.
(Rocky laughs)
Um what?
- Push.
Yeah!
- This is hard.
This is my favorite part!
- You are not doing bad.
- Wow, really?
- Yeah.
Okay, one more time around with the scoop and push.
- Ah, okay.
- Yeah, that way.
Okay, I think you're ready to start spreading.
- Rectangle time.
- Yeah!
Ooh that was a good slap.
- Thank you.
- You wanna kinda start with the tip of the spatula,
so that you're pushing the ice cream over.
Yeah, like that.
- My rectangle sucks.
- It's fine!
- Okay, I'm ready to roll.
Get it?
- Let's rumble!
- Wow look at her, she's so cute!
Wow, I think I found myself a new career.
- You are doing, yeah you are doing fantastic.
- Wow, I really was expecting this to go south.
Handy-dandy tongs, place it here.
- Mm-hmm.
- Next to it, real nice and pretty.
Look at that!
- Well I think it's time for a challenge now.
We go head to head.
- All right, you're on!
- I'm on.
- Oh, you're on!
(dramatic music)
Today's gonna be the day
where the amateur surpasses the pro.
- Ooh!
- We're switching flavors?
- We are, we're gonna do the strawberry graham instead.
And it's a little bit easier than the peanut butter cup
only because there's technically less crushing.
- Aw, but that's my favorite part.
- Well I mean you still crush but it's smoother.
So you don't have as many like rocky pieces inside of it.
Ha, Rocky.
(both laugh)
- I have a question.
- What?
- What constitutes winning?
- Whoever finishes first and whoever's looks the best.
- Well let's do this!
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
Let's go!
Oh no!
- Strawberry's going everywhere!
- Yeah everything everywhere!
- You gotta catch up!
- Okay, ah yeah!
She's too fast!
There's not enough time to get the technique right!
- Looking a little messy over there.
- It's not freezing!
It's too slow!
- You're literally making it on a freezer!
It is freezing!
- Mine's broken!
- Look at the mess!
- Listen, Rocky!
- Okay, I'm spreading now.
- Well maybe I'm spreading too.
- Who makes a better rectangle.
- Oh!
It's okay.
- That is one whole mess I'm gonna have to clean up!
- I'm sorry.
Okay I'm going rogue!
I'm not following your techniques anymore!
I ran out of ice cream.
- We have the same amount.
- Mine's not really a rectangle.
Okay, roll time.
- Ha ha!
- No!
- You have less rolls than I do.
- We have the same amount of- oh (beep)!
(Rocky laughs)
- Nuff said.
- Exactly, mine's a clear winner.
(upbeat music)
- This is your first time, I'll give you this moment.
- I had a few obstacles to overcome.
Machine flaws.
- The ice cream was off the machine.
I don't think it was the machine's fault!
- One moment I was crushing them up
and then the next it was flying to my right.
It was wild!
But I learned a lot today.
Thank you so much, Rocky.
- I think you did a fantastic job,
especially under a time crunch.
I mean, at least they're rolls.
- They are indeed rolls.
Shall we eat this ice cream?
- We shall.
- Cheers!
Thank you for eating ice cream with me!
- [Jasmine] Oh, any time.
