The hard ice cream dispenser comprises a housing support structure; a drive assembly coupled to and supported by the housing, and having a plunger drive means configured to displace a plunger; a sleeve supportable within the housing and configured to receive an inverted container of hard ice cream therein, wherein the sleeve provides lateral and longitudinal support to the ice cream container as the plunger travels through the container; and a nozzle removably coupled to an end of the support sleeve so as to be in fluid communication with the container of ice cream, wherein the nozzle comprises a spout for controlling the volume and cross-sectional size of dispensed ice cream. The plunger is configured to be supported within the housing and removably coupled to the plunger drive means, wherein the plunger functions to displace the ice cream from the container, into and through the nozzle, and out the spout.
