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.
