A holding assembly for frozen edible solids includes an outer cylinder with a spiral groove defined on an inner surface of the outer cylinder. The holding assembly also includes an inner cylinder positioned within the outer cylinder. The inner cylinder defines a slot extending in the axial direction. The holding assembly further includes a platform positioned within the inner cylinder. The platform is translatable along the axial direction within the inner cylinder. The holding assembly also includes a grip positioned at the outer cylinder. The grip is configured to rotate the inner cylinder within the outer cylinder. A method of operating the holding assembly includes rotating the grip of the holding assembly, translating the platform within the inner cylinder, and lifting frozen edible solids in the axial direction out of the outer cylinder.
A method of operating a holding assembly for frozen edible solids, the holding assembly defining an axial direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction, the holding assembly comprising an outer cylinder defining a spiral groove on an inner surface of the outer cylinder, an inner cylinder positioned within the outer cylinder, the inner cylinder defining a slot extending in the axial direction, a funnel removably coupled to the outer cylinder, a platform positioned within the inner cylinder, the platform translatable along the axial direction within the inner cylinder, and a grip positioned at the outer cylinder, the grip configured to rotate the inner cylinder within the outer cylinder, the method comprising:
