Ice Land- Rolled Ice Cream

A novelty has came to Philadelphia- rolled ice cream. Although on the news Sweet Charlie claims to be the first rolled ice cream shop, the first shop was actually Ice Land (224 N 10th Street). Ice Land opened two weeks earlier than Sweet Charlie. The rolled ice cream is made to order and they prepare the rolled ice cream on top of cold metal top behind the glass counter. To order you pick from a number of base, topping, and sauce options. There were also set items on menu which you can choose from. We chose something on the set menu and customized another one.

So apparently, the ones listed on the set menu were shaved ice cream. We got the Matcha Kingdom which was green tea ice cream topped with mochi, red beans, and condensed milk. Overall, it was good. The flavor was good. The texture of ice cream was icy flaky if you know what I mean. The toppings were okay.

For our customized beauty, we got the thai tea ice cream with lychee and condense milk. The thai tea ice cream resembled the taste of thai tea. The rolled ice cream was dense and creamy. I prefer this way more than the shaved ice cream. It was delicious. I wouldn't mind just eating this without the toppings.

I recommend trying the rolled ice cream. It is definitely worth a try. Another cool thing is that the spoon changes color with temperature. The yellow spoon turn orange when it touches the ice cream and turns back to orange when you heat it with you mouth...awesome, right?
