Bring the experience and deliciousness of Chill-N Ice Cream to your local community
"Miami started to close down its economy in March due to Covid-19. Given our designation as a food establishment, we benefited from being considered ‘an essential business’ and were able to remain open. Upon news of a the “Safer at Home” ordinance, Chill-N immediately pivoted and focused on tackling the problem head on by implementing the follow six initiatives..."
Read the rest of our CEO's letter to prospective franchisees
Traditional ice cream manufacturers produce ice cream in batches of thousands of gallons and dump multiple 5-gallon pails of “base flavoring”, an artificially engineered flavoring substance, into each batch.
Miami-based Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream was one of the first liquid nitrogen ice cream shops in the country. We make our ice cream with liquid nitrogen because it undoubtedly makes a better product. A Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream batch is only 6 or 8 ounces and we use raw inputs as flavoring, on demand. That is, we freeze and flavor every serving as it’s ordered, right in front of you. We use real Nutella, real peanut butter, real Dulce de Leche, and the result will leave you never wanting traditional ice cream again.
