Is TikTok’s Fruit Roll-Up Ice Cream Hack Worth The Hype?

TikTok has no shortage of food trends that have gone viral, and the most popular one right now is the trendy Fruit Roll-Up Ice Cream Hack. You’ve probably seen plenty of these videos on TikTok and are wondering: is this dessert hack really worth executing? The answer is yes.

Tons of TikTokers, food bloggers, and other creators are trying out this trend and are shocked by the delicious results. In this viral TikTok video, a creator exclaims that people have to try it, and he can be heard enjoying the treat.

This fruit-rolled-ice-cream creation is definitely a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth, but beware that due to the cold nature of ice cream, the normally chewy fruit rollup will take on a crunchy texture that feels like biting through a thin layer of hard candy.

To try it out yourself, do the following steps:

1. Carefully unroll your Fruit Roll-Up and lay it flat on a plate.
2. Place a small scoop of ice cream in the middle of the fruit Roll-Up.
3. Fold the Fruit Roll-Up around the ice cream and crimp еру corners so it’s snug against the ice cream. Think of it as an ice cream burrito.
4. Freeze for added crunch.
5. Enjoy!

Some people decide to freeze their concoction after crimping the corners, but you don’t have to do this. If you don’t freeze, be sure to tightly mush the ice cream into the corners of the Roll-Up and the ice cream will do the work and freeze the Roll-Up wrapper into a snappy texture.

Upon that first bite, your taste buds will be delighted. That frozen, fruity layer will crackle in your mouth and paired with that smooth and creamy ice cream, it’s pure heaven. If you’re not a vanilla ice cream person, you can always get creative with your favorite flavors. You can also get creative with the flavor of Fruit Roll-Up. Honestly, the customizable possibilities are endless, so use your imagination!

Many people think the Tie-Dye version is the superior flavor, but you might be more into Blue Raspberry or Strawberry. Golnar Ghavami didn’t place hers in the freezer and has earned 13.7 million views on her video. Her ice cream of choice is mango, which sounds absolutely mouth-watering. In her video, she says: “The sweet tartness from the Fruit Roll-Up and the creamy, refreshing goodness from the ice cream all in one bite” makes for an “unexpected, sweet surprise.” It’s safe to say that this is the ultimate snack that’s fun to prepare and eat. Despite the unique flavor, it’s that satisfying crunch that really completes the experience.

One thing to keep an eye out for at first is the stickiness of the Fruit Roll-Up. At first, it will be sticky, but if you’re patient and make sure to unstick parts and keep them flat as you proceed, it should be fine. And as ridiculous as this sounds, remember not to eat the plastic cling wrap on your Fruit Roll-Up. Though it seems obvious, it’s a pitfall that many TikTokers dealt with.
