Sweet Charlie’s
Dessert comes with a show at Sweet Charlie’s in McDonough. Known for made-to-order rolled ice cream, Sweet Charlie’s transforms a liquid ice cream base into thin, frozen rolls right before your eyes. Choose your favorite flavor combination, watch as the ingredients are mixed and chopped together on a super-cold surface, and finish your creation with toppings. The interactive process makes this more than a quick ice cream stop, especially for families looking to add a sweet experience to their day in Henry County.

DID YOU KNOW?
Rolled ice cream starts out as a liquid rather than a scoop. At Sweet Charlie’s, the ice cream base and mix-ins are poured onto a surface chilled well below freezing. As the mixture freezes, it is spread into a thin layer and scraped into the signature rolls that stand upright in your cup.
In other words, watching your dessert being made is half the fun.
INSIDER TIP
Don’t rush to order before watching someone else’s ice cream being made. Seeing the mixing, chopping, spreading, and rolling process might inspire your own creation. If you’re visiting with kids, make sure they have a good view of the frozen surface when it’s time for their order to be rolled.
