Rolled Ice Cream Phenomenon Coming To Bucks Co.

The phenomenon that CBS News this year called "the hot new dessert" is coming to Bucks County.

A rolled ice cream shop will be opening this summer in downtown Newtown. Sworl Handcrafted Rolled Ice Cream will be located off State Street, in the white stand-alone building across the parking lot from Isaac Newton's.

The store, which shared the news in a promoted calendar event on Patch, said the rolled ice cream is made from scratch.

"We start by using a homemade vanilla base recipe using the freshest ingredients from local farms. By pouring the vanilla base onto a cold plate, the ice cream base solidifies into the texture of ice cream, during that process is when the magic happens! While the vanilla base slowly chills into ice cream, we mix and mash your favorite cookies, fruits and sweets into the ice cream to give it the best and most direct flavors," the calendar post says.

Hours will be noon to 9 p.m.

It will be located in this building:

We have reached out to the shop's owner for further details on an opening date.

Rolled ice cream is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States, but is popular in Thailand. In a January 2018 report, CBS News called it "the hot new dessert."

Here's a look at how it's prepared:
