Springwise: Banana ice cream with peanut butter cups mixed in? Not a problem for MooBella, a high-tech vending machine that makes ice cream to order in 45 seconds.
Because it uses flash freezing instead of the standard slow churning method, MooBella can produce ice cream on demand from room temperature ingredients. The front of the machine features a touch-screen display showing a menu of flavours and mix-ins, allowing customers to create any combination they like. If the machine runs out of a flavour, it’s removed from the menu and an order is automatically placed for a refill.
Raised in Massachusetts, MooBella is decidedly high-tech. Not only does its onboard computer run on Linux, the machine also communicates wirelessly through satellite technology to provide company headquarters with inventory and sales data.

a delicious idea! i can never get enough of ‘custom-made ice cream’ – since there are just an endless number of possible flavors one can come up with.
interesting. are you selling the machine or could we use any ice cream? information is highly appreciated. thank you.
