As the summer sadly comes to an end (well it’s always summer in Miami), we made our last official summer ice-cream run last night to our new favorite ice-cream shop. It’s so cool, it’s chillin (the name of the place)! Not only is Chill-N Nitrogen Ice-Cream absolutely delicious, but the way it is made is what really makes your mouth drop. They make their ice-cream with Nitrogen, yes folks, Nitrogen! The shop is quite small, but in my opinion, small places are typically the best! No matter when we’ve visited this place (usually on the weekends), the line is outside the door.
How they make ice-cream!
When you first walk in, you will find a cool Periodic Table inspired board of all delicious bases, flavors, and toppings, or as they call them, their mix-N’s…brownie bits, mint, marshmallows, Nutella, cookie bites, white chocolate chips, & much more. You first choose your size of dessert, then whether you’d like ice-cream or yogurt. Next, you choose from over 10 base flavors, and lastly, you get to choose all of your add-ins.
Flavors and toppings!
Then the magic begins… While regular ice cream is frozen over night or frozen instantly through commercial freezers, nitrogen flash-freezes the liquid base as it is churned. The nitrogen makes the ice cream really cold, and since it’s all prepared as you watch, you can see the nitrogen fog pour out of the mixers. It’s all really cool, and even the adults in line are watching the process in amazement!
Ice Cream in the making!
The only drawback is that since the ice-creams are made fresh on the spot, you can’t try the different flavors. But no worries, I’m sure any combination you come up with will be heavenly! The first time I visited I got the cake batter ice-cream mixed in with the Oreos and cookie dough (now my daughter’s favorite). Another favorite of mine is strawberry ice-cream mixed in with white chocolate chips. Absolutely delicious, I’ve never tasted creamier ice-cream!
If you’re in Miami and you want a place to chill…go to Chill-N, you must stop by one of their locations:
Pinecrest: 8271 SW 124th Street, Miami, FL 33156
Aventura: 17831 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura, FL 33160
That sounds like the coolest place ever. I would be there all the time.
That looks like an awesome place to go, I know I would love to go with my teen daughter if I got the chance.
So cool & YUM! I wish they had a location here. Oh well, just going to have to go to Florida 🙂
Ok that has got to be the coolest place ever. My son would flip for it.
Sounds like a place I would LOVE to visit!!
Sounds like a place I would LOVE to visit! Thanks!
Oh what a fab sounding place – I would definitely make a beeline for it if I was in the area. x
I’ve never made my own ice cream before, though I’ve always wanted to give it a try!
You don’t make your own ice cream, you just watch them make it.
OMG I have to visit this place! Fresh ice cream is the best, and I think it has educational benefits for the kids too since they get to see the actual chemistry process take place right in front of them.
That sounds great to me! My boys would get a big kick out of a place like this. I would love the cake batter flavor no doubt!!
Next time I’m in Miami, I’m so there! I love anything ice cream!
I’m envious that you will still be able to enjoy warm weather in Miami. It will be cold before you know it here in NYC.
Now I am craving some ice cream. I would be a regular customer here if I lived in Miami!
How fun! I bet my kids would love to visit a place like that! Plus who doesn’t love ice cream?!?!
I love the sciency side of this ice cream! I bet it tastes great too!
It’s the creamiest I have ever tasted!
I would definitely like to try this place. Ice cream rules!
this sounds like fun! Who doesn’t love ice cream? You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!
This is so neat. I would try it just for the experience!
That sounds amazing! It’s a good thing I don’t live near it because I’d probably be addicted!
I love the idea of making your own ice cream! I’d go with a few people and have them try different flavors so that we can share lol (if that’s allowed)
We have something similar here called Smitten. Watching them create your ice cream is so cool!
that looks like a great place to chill! I bet you had a blast!
This just blows my mind! I bet I could chill here all day & come up with 511136156153 different combinations. Do you think they could use the nitrogen to flash freeze my fat cells from growing? LOL
You are too funny!
I saw this concept on Shark Tank I thought it was the coolest thing. I think for me it’s best not to have a bunch of different flavors to try. I don’t need to eat more ice-cream! I would love to visit this shop and buy ice cream from it. I bet it is awesome to watch them make it.
This looks INCREDIBLE!!! I love the table of elements! What a cute touch.
This place sounds so cool! I would love to go watch this done, and I don’t even eat ice cream, but my kids do and I think they would love this.
That is such a cool ice cream place! I love that it’s also educational, with the science and all. Plus, ice-cream, yum!
Strawberry ice cream and white chocolate chips together? Oh yes, that does sound deliciously wonderful good!
MM I love ice cream. Having it a fun and different way always makes for fun things. Would love to go.
This looks so awesome! I’d love to go and create! 🙂
Ice cream is my favorite! This is the “coolest” article ever!
This place is what my dreams are made of! I have to drop by! A trip to Miami is in my near future, it’s only a 3.5 or 4 hour drive. Maybe they’ll open up a shop here in Orlando but until then, I need to head down there!
What great fun! Using science to make something awesome to try!
I think it was interesting to know all this. Yummy. Icecream!
