A method for providing a single serving of a frozen confection, the method comprising:
- inserting a pod containing one or more ingredients and a mixing paddle into a recess of a machine for providing the single serving of the frozen confection;
- contacting a side wall of the pod against a side wall of the recess;
- connecting a motor of the machine to a stem of the mixing paddle, the stem extending through an end wall of the pod;
- rotating the mixing paddle inside the pod in a first direction while cooling the recess to form the frozen confection from the one or more ingredients;
- and
- rotating the mixing paddle inside the pod in a second direction opposite the first direction to dispense the frozen confection from the pod into an edible cone or a collecting container while the pod is in the recess of the machine without the frozen confection coming into contact with another object exterior to the pod.
