HOW TO MAKE (Step by Step Guide)

Step 1 — Prepare the Fruit Roll-Ups

Action: Carefully unroll the colorful Fruit Roll-Up sheets and place them flat on parchment paper or a clean cutting board. Gently smooth each sheet with a small rolling pin so there are no folds, wrinkles or curled edges.

Step 2 — Scoop the Ice Cream

Action: Use a small ice cream scoop to place one firm, round scoop of vanilla bean ice cream in the center of each Fruit Roll-Up sheet. Work quickly so the ice cream stays cold, firm and holds its rounded shape.

Step 3 — Add the Hidden Sour Center

Action: Use a tiny spoon to make a small hollow in the center of each ice cream scoop. Add a small amount of citric acid crystals into the hollow, then gently cover the crystals with a little ice cream so the ultra-sour center is completely hidden.

Step 4 — Seal the Ice Cream

Action: Fold the Fruit Roll-Up sheet tightly around the ice cream. Press and smooth the overlapping edges until the ice cream is fully enclosed and the colorful candy wrapper forms a neat sealed sandwich.

Step 5 — Freeze

Action: Place the sealed Fruit Roll-Up ice cream sandwiches on a parchment-lined freezer tray, leaving a little space between each one. Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until the candy shells become firm, frosty and crunchy.

Step 6 — Check the Frozen Result

Action: Remove the sandwiches from the freezer and check that the Fruit Roll-Up shells are glossy, firm and lightly frosted. Transfer them to a chilled serving board and serve promptly before the ice cream begins to soften.

Step 7 — Cut Open

Action: With adult supervision, carefully use a sharp chef knife to slice one frozen sandwich in half. Position both halves upright so the creamy vanilla bean ice cream and sparkling hidden sour center are clearly visible.

Step 8 — Close-Up Hero

Action: Arrange the sliced halves at the front of the serving board with the whole frozen sandwiches behind them. Add a tiny spoon for scale and showcase the crunchy colorful shell, creamy vanilla center and sparkling sour crystal core as the final hero serving.

TIPS & SWAPS

• Try strawberry or chocolate ice cream for a different flavor.

• Add popping candy for an extra surprise.

• Experiment with different Fruit Roll-Up flavors and colors.

• Keep the ice cream very firm while assembling so the sandwiches are easier to seal.
