dippin dots

Beaded ice cream

Dippin' Dots is a brand of ice cream sold as small frozen beads rather than scoops, marketed as "the ice cream of the future" since the 1980s.

The pellets are flash-frozen with liquid nitrogen, giving them a distinctive texture.

Found mainly at amusement parks, stadiums, and malls: We got Dippin' Dots at the fair.
