Ingredients Grape Ice Cream Rolls

200 g black or Concord grapes
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
200 ml heavy or whipping cream
2 Tbsp powdered sugar (for a smoother cream consistency)

Optional: Use Bob’s Red Mill powdered sugar for the smoothest texture and consistent results.

Instructions

Step-by-step process of making grape ice cream rolls on a cold plate, from pouring cream and grapes to mixing and rolling.

Freeze your ice plate
Place a metal baking sheet or ice-cream rolling plate in the freezer for at least 12 hours.
Make the grape purée
Blend grapes with sugar, simmer for 3 minutes, then strain to remove skins and seeds. Let it cool.
Whip the cream
Beat the cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in the cooled grape purée.
Spread and freeze
Pour the mixture onto the frozen surface and spread it thin (about ⅛–¼ inch).
Roll it up
After 1–2 minutes, use a spatula to scrape and roll each strip. Serve upright in chilled bowls or cups.
Serve and enjoy
Garnish with extra grapes, mint, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate.

Tips, Variations & Substitutions

Prevent icy texture: Use high-fat cream and spread the mixture thin to freeze faster and smoother.
Dairy-free version: Swap out dairy cream with chilled coconut milk for a vegan option.
Boozy twist: Add a tablespoon of vodka or gin to keep the texture softer and add flavor depth.
Flavor boosts: Try mixing in berries or swirling chocolate before freezing for added dimension.

Storage & Reheating

Store in an airtight container with wax paper pressed on top to avoid freezer burn.
Freeze for up to 1 week for best flavor and texture.
To serve: Let sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes before scooping or re-rolling.

FAQ

Why are my rolls icy or hard?

The grape purée adds water, which can create ice crystals. Using high-fat cream and freezing quickly in thin layers helps smooth things out.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. Pre-roll and freeze them in a lined container. Serve straight from the freezer with a short thaw.

Can I use red or green grapes?

Yes, but the color and flavor won’t be as bold as black or Concord grapes.

Conclusion

With just a few simple ingredients and no fancy tools, you can whip up these colorful, creamy grape ice cream rolls that are both beautiful and fun to make. They’re kid-approved, ASMR-ready, and perfect for warm-weather treats. Once you try these, you might just skip the store-bought ice cream altogether.
