If you\u2019re in search of a unique twist on a classic dessert<\/a>, you may want to check out Subzero Ice Cream. The company, founded by Jerry and Naomi Hancock, allows customers to watch employees create their ice cream and frozen yogurt right before their eyes thanks to the use of frozen nitrogen. Below, you\u2019ll find everything you need to know about Subzero Ice Cream\u2019s<\/a><\/u> menu, prices, and other vital information.<\/p>\n

What is Subzero Ice Cream?<\/h2>\n

The Hancocks had long been drawn to the concept of customizable food but were struggling to come up with a way to best implement their ideas. They eventually realized that they could apply their customizable food concepts to the dessert industry. Jerry, who had a background in chemistry, began working on coming up with a way to create ice cream instantly with frozen nitrogen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The couple opened their first store in 2004. A year later, the couple filed a patent that protected their method of freezing ice cream instantly. Subzero continued growing, but it wasn\u2019t until 2013 that their business gained national attention. This was primarily thanks to an appearance on the hit ABC show, \u201cShark Tank<\/u>.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time they went on the show, Subzero had 18 franchise locations and two corporate locations. After the show aired, they grew to 50 franchise locations, even though they did not partner with any of the investors on the show. Forbes went on to name the business one of the \u201c10 Best Franchises to Buy From \u2018Shark Tank.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of what makes Subzero Ice Cream so unique is the fact that it requires minimal overhead in stores. Most ice cream and frozen yogurt stores require freezers or other types of machines to ensure the ice cream<\/a> remains frozen. However, the flash-freezing methods practically eliminate the need for this, helping to cut down on the cost of operating a store.<\/p>\n

How Does It Work?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Many find Subzero\u2019s flash freezing methods often lead to one of the most delicious desserts they\u2019ve ever had. That\u2019s because when the ice cream is flash frozen with nitrogen, water does not contaminate the product. This means that there are no large ice crystals when consuming the product, as you may be accustomed to finding in other ice creams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some customers admit that they were a bit skeptical when they heard that their ice cream was flash-frozen using liquid nitrogen. However, nitrogen is entirely safe to use in this capacity. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, meaning it does not impact the product at all. Furthermore, liquid nitrogen is non-toxic. In fact, it makes up three percent of our body weight!<\/p>\n

Menu<\/h2>\n

Because of the lack of water, many customers say that Subzero desserts are creamier and smoother<\/a> than other ice creams and frozen yogurts. Furthermore, every order is unique as customers can choose from various mix-ins, toppings, and cream bases. The flexibility to do so again has a lot to do with the flash-freezing process that the ice cream goes through before a customer eats it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

This also gives the company a competitive advantage because they can cater to practically any dietary restrictions. For example, customers who are lactose intolerant often only find one or two selections in a traditional ice cream parlor. Because customers create their Subzero ice cream instantly, those with allergies and dietary restrictions still have access to a full range of flavors.<\/p>\n

Although the nutritional value of your order will range significantly depending on numerous factors, such as the size and the type of cream you use, you can get a general idea of the product\u2019s nutritional value by taking a look at this chart<\/a><\/u>. Customers can also rest assured that the company uses fresh ingredients when crafting their desserts.<\/p>\n

Create Your Order<\/h2>\n

When a customer is ready to order, they begin by choosing the size they prefer. Most stores offer three different sizes: small, medium, and large. After selecting a size, customers then pick the type of cream they\u2019d prefer. Options include original, low-fat, sugar-free, vegan, and non-dairy. There are also other custom options available depending on which store a customer visits.<\/p>\n

Next, customers choose their flavors. There are more than 30 different flavors from which customers can choose. Options range from Amaretto to Bubble Gum to White Chocolate. Whether you\u2019re looking for a fruity taste or something to satisfy your sweet tooth, there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019ll be able to find the perfect flavor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, customers choose which mix-ins they\u2019d like to add. There are also more than 30 different mix-ins available. These not only include fresh fruit, such as mangos and peaches but also include more \u201ctraditional\u201d toppings like M&M\u2019s and sprinkles as well. Once they\u2019ve chosen their options, customers can watch as their creation goes through the flash-freezing process right before their eyes.<\/p>\n

Choose a Sundae from the Menu<\/h2>\n

If customers would instead not come up with a custom creation, they could choose from pre-selected \u201cSensations<\/u>.\u201d These are much like treats that see at other ice cream shops. According to the Subzero website, there are more than ten different selections available. Additionally, different stores may have local offerings and \u201cSensations of the Month\u201d as well. Sensation options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
