Customizable Ice Cream Makers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Snoflaek' Ice Cream System Can Bring Any Flavor into Reality

— June 8, 2015 — Tech
The 'Snoflaek' is a customizable ice cream system that lets you whip up novel flavor combinations in the comfort of your own home. Designed for ice cream, gelato and frozen yogurt, the Snoflaek system works with a companion smartphone app to help you harness your culinary creativity.

To use the Snoflaek ice cream system you must start with the app, which will help to guide you through the recipe-making process. The app has a number of interesting features, including an option that will help you adapt your recipe to any specific dietary restrictions. Once you have gone through all the customizable options, the app will produce the perfect recipe for your frozen treat. However it may be difficult to find some of the ingredients needed for making your specific ice cream flavor, so Snoflaek makes specific ingredients available for direct purchase within the app.

With the perfect recipe in hand, users then combine the necessary ingredients in the personal Snoflaek ice cream maker. The high-tech appliance uses liquid nitrogen to provide speedy results and leaves you with high-quality ice cream in just a matter of minutes.
