ChinChin is an innovative, experimental dessert brand. It has been named “The Best Ice Cream Parlour in England” by The Times and hailed by The Observer as “The Future of Ice Cream”, and its celebrity customers have included Angelina Jolie, Jude Law, Tim Burton and Mila Kunis.
What makes the brand unique is its production of ice cream to order using liquid nitrogen, creating theatre at the counter and a product that is genuinely different from traditional gelato and soft serve.
Classic flavours include Tonka Bean, Burnt Butter Caramel, Valrhona Chocolate, Coffee and Olive Oil and Ceremonial Matcha, alongside signatures such as Pumpkin Seed, Banana Miso and Black Sesame Tahini Halva, both vegan.
Desserts include the Block of Butter ice cream sandwich, Sticky Toffee Pudding Sundae, Brûléed Banoffee Pie, Matcha Tiramisu and cookie sandwiches, with toppings from honeycomb and bee pollen to fleur de sel caramel sauce.
ChinChin also serves coffees, a signature hot chocolate with gooey marshmallow fluff, vegan hot chocolate and iced matcha drinks in flavours such as sesame butter, mango and strawberry, giving each parlour trade beyond ice cream.
Customers can order ChinChin cakes, book the brand for events and shop online, adding revenue streams beyond the parlour counter.
