Lab Made


Lab Made is the first liquid nitrogen ice cream company based in Hong Kong. Founded in 2012, the company's ice cream formula employs liquid nitrogen to freeze ingredients in less than a minute. This method produces ice cream with a smooth texture and smoky vapor.

History

Lab Made was founded in July 2012 by Ronnie Cheng Hong-wang and Jennifer Chiu, former pharmacists. The couple discovered liquid nitrogen ice cream while working in England and later introduced the product to the Hong Kong market by opening their first shop in Tin Hau. In August 2013, Lab Made was noted in the South China Morning Post as an example of innovative entrepreneurship.
According to the company's website, Lab Made no longer operates retail locations. The company provides catering services and educational entertainment shows.

Method

Lab Made's ice cream production process utilizes KitchenAid mixers to combine ingredients with liquid nitrogen. This process employs the low temperature of liquid nitrogen, -196 degrees Celsius, to emit a gas vapor which freezes the ice cream.

Products

Lab Made offers liquid nitrogen ice cream in a variety of flavors. Some of the company's past flavors have included apple crumble, Hong Kong crispy toast, mooncake, sticky toffee pudding and strawberry cheesecake.
