The new addition to the Piccadilly business is quite astounding.
I've always been a fan of Piccadilly and have always loved how they used fresh and local ingredients to their frozen yogurt. When I heard that they were opening up an ice cream shop in university circle, I just HAD to go.
This location is much different than their previous frozen yogurt locations. In fact, they mostly serve all ice cream. They still have the freshest ingredients, down to the eggs coming from a local Amish farm nearby, but the concept is different- they use liquid nitrogen.
WHAT?! said the chemistry geek in me. Liquid nitrogen? Oh man, I have got to see this!
It's quite interesting- you choose the flavor and toppings that you want, they grab a mixing bowl, and add the ingredients in front of you. They then start their kitchenaid mixer as well as the liquid nitrogen...the liquid nitrogen causes a cloud to appear above the mixer- and then bam- out comes an amazing cup of ice cream.
We took one bite of our ice cream choice and was floored- wow, it was SOOOOOO creamy! Really good and creamy. We chose the creme fraiche with macaroon bits- the lemon flavor was light and refreshing, and the macaroons were crushed up and embedded in the ice cream- an all around amazing cup of ice cream.
I was incredibly impressed with this new addition to the Piccadilly business and after tasting just that flavor, I want to go back for more! I highly recommend this Piccadilly- stop by for one of the creamiest ice creams to enter your mouth in the area!
