Dippin’ Dots For Charity
06.03.10
As far as I know, OC’s only full-service Dippin’ Dots store is in Fountain Valley. It’s the source for Dippin’ Dots, or Ice Cream of the Future, ice cream, yogurt, sherbet and flavored ice available in more than 30 flavors including mint chocolate, rainbow ice, and Georgia peach. Dippin’ Dots comes in fat free, low fat and no sugar added varieties too. They can even morph Dots into ice cream cakes, milkshakes, sundaes, and floats.
Stop in Dippin’ Dots anytime Friday, and 20% of the proceeds from your purchase will go to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Just bring in this flyer.
Dippin’ Dots, touted as “the world’s coldest ice cream” is flash-frozen—a technique discovered by a microbiologist who went crazy with cryogenic research and discovered the wildest of all frozen desserts.
Open noon to 9 p.m.
18011 Newhope Street, Suite D in Fountain Valley. 714.430.1480.
