A mix-in is a type of dessert made with ice cream and another product that is either blended or folded in.

History

The concept of mixing in additional flavors at the time of ordering was created in North Dakota in the 1930's. The last known Whirla-Whip machine from that era is still in use at Dakota Drug in Stanlet, North Dakota. Steve Herrell used this concept in 1973, when Mr. Herrell founded Steve's Ice Cream, near Boston, where they would crush Heath Bars and other candies or confections and mix them into ice cream. Another term for the concept is "smoosh-ins". His system spread across the industry from his store, and became the model for many other ice cream businesses and desserts.
