The coolest ice cream in Copenhagen

Exciting ice cream with an excellent flavor

At Istid, Nina and Anniken make ice cream in record time using liquid nitrogen and fuming mixers. But if you think that this way of making ice cream is just an interesting physics gimmick, then think again. This ice cream is made using organic ingredients and tastes simply divine.

Siciliansk Ice Cream

David Ciccia inherited his ice cream recipes from his cousin Umberto, who lives on Sicily. Umberto knows his ice cream, and so does David. His Copenhagen version is made from fresh, organic ingredients, as well as Sicilian specialities such as pistacho nuts, lemons, almonds and hazelnuts. It is just as delicious as gelato and sorbet.

Bonus: You can choose three different flavors per tub or waffle, irrespective of the size.

Paradis

Paradis introduced Copenhageners to fresh, Italian-quality ice cream when it opened its first shop on Købemagergade in 2003. Since then, things have taken off rapidly and Paradis now has 50 shops throughout Denmark. Although Paradis is popular, its quality is consistent. Really good range of ice cream, extending from fresh sorbets and skyr ices, to heady treats with fudge, brownies and marshmallows.
