Place of origin Australia

A Frozie cup (also frozie ~, frozy ~, or frozen cup, "cold cup", "ice cup" or "icy cup") is a simple Australian frozen dessert, often sold for school or community group fundraising. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

A frozie cup consists simply of frozen cordial in paper, plastic or styrofoam cup. The block of ice is sometimes inverted in the cup when sold. [8]

Frozie cups are sold at Australian canteens/tuck shops for approximately $1 AUD. [9]

Some frozie cups are milk-based [10] or ice cream based. [11]

Frozie cups are also used around the world as a substitute for an ice pop. Often using sugar-based drinks such as Kool-Aid for flavor.

Frozen cups are well known in New Orleans. [11]

Water-only ice cups may also be used as a simple means of icing sports injuries. [12]
