The dessert originated in Thailand as street food in 2009. It is made by pouring a milk and cream mixture over a cold stainless steel pan that freezes it into ice cream. A choice of sauces, mix-ins and toppings are added to the mixture so customers can customize their ice cream. After being slathered and chopped, it is scraped into rolls and served in a cup.
“We like to focus on international options but make a twist on them,” explained Polly Laneville, Tastely Box co-owner. “We decided to do rolled ice cream because we knew that it was something fun to bring to Peterborough and the community plus it tastes really awesome.”
Customers can choose from a vanilla or chocolate base and have it rolled or in a slab. They can choose up to two sauces that include salted caramel, chocolate, cookie butter, cotton candy and bubblegum. A mix-in and topping also get added into the mix for a variety of combinations.
Laneville says that her store has incorporated freeze-dried candy into her rolled ice cream as an available option for toppings. It is something that she’s never seen other places do outside of freeze-dried strawberries. This is her own way of incorporating her shop’s uniqueness and twists into her products.
“We're trying to focus on doing freeze-dried Skittles, we have freeze-dried Milk Duds, freeze-dried caramel and different things like that just to make it a little bit more fun and crunchy,” said Laneville.

The store also launched their Pick’N’Mix in addition to their rolled ice cream. Customers can fill a tub to their heart’s content with gummies, marshmellows and other candies. There were 19 different selections to choose from on the day’s launch.
