We’re one week away from the grand opening of Cloud Nine Creamery inside Westfield’s Southcenter Mall. A public ribbon cutting will take place at 12 PM on February 16th, 2018. Cloud Nine Creamery will focus on mixing various ingredients into a bowl where liquid nitrogen is added to give the ice cream an incredible texture.
Unlike traditional ice cream, Cloud Nine Creamery ice cream is exceptionally smooth, fresh and creamy. The secret is all in the rapid freezing of the mixture. The liquid nitrogen causes the fat and water particles to stay very small, giving Cloud Nine ice cream its extra creamy consistency.
Nitrogen is a gas and 78 percent of the air we breathe. Add a little magic (I mean science!) and it turns into a liquid using a process called the Joule-Thomson Effect. Liquid nitrogen is nontoxic, odorless, tasteless and 100 percent safe.
