Well Well Well Londoners – we have a new treat on our doorstep – Snowflake!
Snowflake is a luxury gelato company – taking an artisan approach to their gorgeous ice creams. They have stores in Soho and Bayswater but have now added a little pop up to the 5th floor of Harvey Nicks!
I got invited to the opening of Snowflake pop up in Harvey Nicholls and was so excited by this particular venture! Now as a few of my closest friends will know I am wheat intolerant and also try to avoid dairy. There are a number of reasons why but predominantly cold cream just doesn’t sit well in my tummy.
I was absolutely enthused to find out that this beautiful little boutique not only does Luxury Sorbetto, which is handmade using only the goodness of seasonal fresh fruits making it refreshingly delicious and fat and dairy free,
They also do Snowflake Guilt-Free Sorbetto range with no added sugar!
Now a few of you may be thinking – ice cream with no dairy – maddness, sorbet with no sugar – does it taste of dust – my oh my are you wrong.
Their owner and creator Asad Khan has put all the love and attention into making sure all the ingredients are fresh, delicious, sourced from the best farms and from the best fruits which means all this care and attention seeps into the luscious flavours of their products.
Snowflake Luxury Gelato’s also has a resident Neapolitan Gelataio who has developed over 50 luxurious gelato and sorbetto flavours in the Snowflake laboratory. These include intense and original flavours, carefully and beautifully cultivated, to fill your taste-buds with the feel of the old Italian gelatos.
The sorbetto range includes beautiful flavours such as apple and elderflower, pear, papaya and pomegranate – which means that in the warm weather you can enjoy a guilt free ice cooler without worrying about the calories!
I spent some time talking to the owner and listening to his passion. It is amazing to hear someone who truly puts his heart and soul into his work. They cater for events aswell – so anyone planning a wedding out there – he is available!
If you fancy finding one of these beautiful gelatos – you can find Asad and his team at:

It truly is worth the treat: half the fat, none of the guilt and they won 10 gold stars at the Great Taste Awards!
Go on treat yourself xx
