Move Over Cupcake and Make Room for the Pie

Every new year brings with it a slew of predictions for the up and coming trends. People have a penchant for lists and these oracular lists cover everything from technology, to color, to shoes. But where the confidence seems to falter is in an area you wouldn’t expect: dessert.

Foodie experts are scratching their heads, wondering whether or not cupcakes will remain Queen of the desserts, or if another player will steal the glory. Although, like any prediction, its impossible to know how accurate it will be in the end, rumor has it that the flashy cupcake will abdicate its throne to the humble, unassuming pie.

For us here at Sub Zero, this is exciting news since we launched a line of pies in November 2011, reinventing the classic dessert to create a pie you have tasted in dreams but considered impossible.

Choose Your Chill Factor

One of the benefits to creating your ice cream from the base up is that it is 100% customizable, even in ways you hadn’t considered before. You get to be the head chef, choosing the not only your flavor experience, but also the texture. When we say “Choose Your Chill Factor”, we’re not talking about personal flair (although we know our customers have that in abundance), but rather how frozen you want your ice cream.

We can control the ice cream’s softness by how long we expose it to liquid nitrogen. This allows us to tailor the final product from soft serve to rock hard consistency and anywhere in between. So, when we ask, “Choose Your Chill Factor”, you’ve got three options.

Teeth Tingler: This is the oldie but goldie soft serve consistency that we all know and love.

Numb Tongue: The scoopable consistency you crave when you search the freezer for a mid-night snack.

Brain Freeze: Rock hard, flaky consistency. We recommend letting it sit for a few minutes before biting in. This option is perfect for when you’re ordering your ice cream to go!

P.S If you haven’t tried November’s Pumpkin Pie Sundae, be sure to stop by your nearest Sub Zero location! You don’t want to miss this sensation.

Also, don’t forget to vote for your favorite vampire or werewolf with your purchase of Team Edward or Team Jacob ice cream.

We have all heard about the benefits of eating calcium: it helps build strong, sturdy bones. However, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published research showing that calcium also helps the body burn excess fat. Sub Zero uses fat-free yogurt, so you get the health advantage its calcium provides without adding any more fat for your body to burn.
