Food
Flash-frozen ice cream.
Everyone remembers their first Dippin’ Dots experience – the chill of the first bite and the explosion of flavor as the dots begin to melt in their mouth. It’s no surprise that Dippin’ Dots is the number one ice cream for fun and has been loved by kids of all ages for more than two decades.
Dippin’ Dots are made from fresh dairy ingredients flavored with a variety of fun, fruity, enticing and even exotic flavors. Those ingredients are frozen almost instantly in liquid nitrogen, a common element in the atmosphere used commercially for flash freezing. After production, Dippin’ Dots are packaged and shipped worldwide.
