The Ice Kitchen, artisan ice lolly brand, created a storm when it first launched on London’s South Bank in the hot summer of 2013. This resulted in early success with a national listing with the frozen retailer ‘COOK’, and was followed by star appearances on The One Show with Lord Alan Sugar, Radio 4 and James Martin’s Home Comforts TV show. The Ice Kitchen has since secured listings across Holland, Finland and Ireland with exports now making up 70% of sales.

In 2016 the gourmet lollies were awarded four Great Taste Awards (the only ice lollies to do so!) and from January 2017, The Ice Kitchen is planning a sales push in the UK after securing a six-figure investment from Dutch food entrepreneurs.

Transforming a nostalgic classic childhood treat into a gourmet pleasure for adults and children alike, founder Cesar Roden and his team hand make their lollies in their Ice Kitchen in London. The recipes include classics and twists on classics, as well as exciting creations with surprising flavour combinations – Earl grey, Mojito, Peach & Hibiscus to name a few.

Founder Cesar Roden says;
“Our mission is to offer an exciting, refreshing and 100% natural alternative, and take on the mainstream industrial brands that dominate the ‘hand held’ ice cream market”.

Ice Kitchen has developed a range of 11 artisan lollies, including whole fruit, dairy and alcoholic lines, using only the finest ingredients and containing nothing artificial. All ingredients are hand blended to create the rich and unique flavours of the ice lollies, with some of the creations having whole pieces of fruit suspended in the middle.

The Ice Kitchen story started in New York when Roden travelled there to help his aunt Nadia, an artist and chef, on what was the first gourmet ice lolly venture in the city. The overwhelming response, and the fact that there was nothing similar in the UK, encouraged him to launch over here.

Ice Kitchen released their hardback recipe book in 2014, which topped the Amazon desserts bestseller list in the UK and has since been published in 15 countries.  A new book of quirky and delicious poptail recipes is due to be published in 2017.

The gourmet lollies are available at all COOK stores nationwide, select Wholefoods stores as well as select independent delis and farm shops across the UK.
