Kmart has released a new item that will allow you to make the same type of treat that ice cream stores across the world whip up. If you’ve ever wanted to have rolled ice cream but didn’t want to leave the house, the $14 product from the Aussie retailer could be perfect.
The Ice Cream Mix in Kit also allows you mash up items like you might see at Cold Rock and turn it into a quick and tasty dessert. But it didn’t take long for customers to race to their local Kmart to get their hands on the kit.
“This popular item has sold out online,” is the message that now greets online shoppers.

Kmart shoppers said the ice cream kit would be a “great” idea for kids this Christmas and for anyone who wants a cool, sweet treat as the mercury climbs.
“This looks so good,” wrote one person.
“Was hidden on a bottom shelf at the back in my local Kmart. Only spotted it by chance – great stocking stuffer,” added another.
“I need to get one,” said a third.
How does Kmart’s $14 ice cream kit work?
It looks like a simple tin tray, but if you have some time up your sleeve, you can use it to make delicious ice cream.
You have to wash the plate with warm (not hot) water and dry it completely before you use it for the first time.
Then, you just have to turn it upside down and place it on a flat surface in the freezer.
Chuck it in there for at least 12 hours at a temperature below -18°C.
When you pull it out, that tray will be very cold, which will help freeze liquids like milk or yoghurt in a few minutes.
Once the liquid has hardened, you can use the scraper that’s included in the kit to delicately roll the treat just like a professional ice cream shop.
The Kmart kit comes with 15 grams of freeze-dried strawberries and sprinkles that you can use for your first few attempts.
Kmart’s suggested recipe is to combine 100mL of yoghurt with 3 grams of those strawberries.

You can also use heavy cream, condensed milk, or a plant-based substitute, and mix in your choice of diced fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, or lollies.
“Scoop up some fun with the Ice Cream Mix in Kit – everything needed to create dreamy, custom treats at home,” the listing on Kmart’s website states.
“Packed with tasty toppings and colourful mix-ins, it is perfect for Christmas parties, playdates or a sweet weekend surprise.”
