help Dippin' Dots FAQ

Why are Dippin' Dots shaped like tiny beads?

Dippin' Dots are made by flash-freezing the ice-cream mixture into small droplets. This process produces the recognizable bead shape and a colder, granular texture.

Where was Dippin' Dots invented?

Dippin' Dots was created in 1988 by microbiologist Curt Jones in Grand Chain, Illinois. The product became known for being sold at places such as amusement parks, zoos, and sports venues.

Do Dippin' Dots need a special freezer?

Yes, the beads are stored at a much lower temperature than ordinary ice cream, commonly around minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit. A normal household freezer is not designed to keep them in their intended condition for long.

Are Dippin' Dots ice cream or something else?

The original product is a frozen ice-cream-style dessert made from dairy and other ingredients, although the brand also sells varieties such as sherbet and frozen yogurt. The defining feature is the flash-frozen bead format.
