South Florida’s five best rolled ice cream shops

Ice cream rolls are frozen Thai desserts that bring a mouthwatering sensation with every bite. They make a very refreshing treat. 

These desserts are a combination of milk, cream and sugar. They are produced in front of customers, a very cool and new experience for many. The dessert has grown in popularity nationwide; in South Florida, these five places stand out because they each have many unique options for customizing orders.
