Dippin' Dots is an ice cream snack, invented by Southern Illinois University Carbondale graduate Curt Jones in 1988 . The confection is created by flash freezing ice cream mix in liquid nitrogen; consequently, Dippin' Dots contain less air than conventional ice cream. The resulting small spheres of ice cream are stored at temperatures ranging from -70 to -20 °F (from -57°C to -29°C).

The marketing slogan is "Ice Cream of the Future" The company, headquartered in Paducah, Ky, United States, used to not sell its product in stores such as supermarkets in the United States, but have just recently started doing so. On its official website, the company notes that its product requires storage at temperatures below -20°F (about -29°C), which is considerably colder than standard home freezers. Dippin' Dots are sold in individual servings at franchised outlets, many in stadiums, shopping malls, and in vending machines.

Many theme parks such as Schlitterbahn, Six Flags, Cedar Point, PARC Management, Kennywood, SeaWorld, stadiums and arenas also sell Dippin' Dots. The ice cream is also sold over the Internet for delivery to homes and businesses.
