Dylan decided to turn his art into a business and opened up shop located at 65 Bleecker Street, SoHo.
When visiting his interactive ice-cream shop, customers can expect to see the skilled employees chop, fold and throw the treat at them, with hopes they catch it in their cup.
Before the sweet treats begin flying around, the balls of ice-cream are made by a dedicated machine, which Dylan created so that customers don’t ‘have to wait for someone to scoop,’ he revealed to Grub Street.
The pre-scooped balls of ice cream are then mixed with toppings before they get tossed into the air.
In an Instagram video, Dylan explained that at his special shop, they ‘don’t sell ice cream by the scoop,’ but sell it ‘by the ball.’
‘Every single one of our ice cream flavors goes through about five or six hands before it gets to your mouth,’ he said.

While it may seem silly to have sweet treats flying in the air, Dylan explained that the experience is all about bringing others together and to ‘brighten someone’s day.’
‘First we use our special machine to fill up molds and then once they’re frozen at negative 40 degrees, we pop each of them out to get a perfect ice cream ball.
‘Every flavor of ball has a different coating and combination. Our strawberry shortcake ball is vanilla ice cream dipped in white chocolate and then rolled in our strawberry shortcake dust.
‘Since our ball is negative 40 degrees it hardens the white chocolate and grabs onto all the dust.’
Although the thought of catching your own ice-cream may seem intimidating, Dylan reassured fans not to worry if they drop it.
He will make them a new one and the customer will only have to pay for one $6.96 cup of ice-cream.

He told Grub Street that tossing the ice-cream as well as posting the videos of their customers dropping and catching them offers a ‘different kind of experience.’
