A self-contained portable dispensing assembly for dispensing fluid substances, such as foodstuffs, and in particular ice cream. The dispensing assembly includes a housing capable of being mounted on the back of an operator, a vessel within the housing for holding the contents to be dispensed, a pressurized container for discharging a propellant into the vessel, and a discharge assembly in the form of an arm having a discharge valve through which the contents flow upon discharge of the propellant and actuation of the discharge valve. The dispensing assembly also includes a piston or diaphragm for energizing the contents of the vessel in response to movement of the piston by the propellant. A cooling assembly and a cone dispenser is also provided.
