FAQs
Online pre-orders
What should I do if I can't make it during my time slot?
We definitely recommend that you choose an accurate time for picking up your order.
However, you can always pick up your order 'late' if it's still the same day. There's no need to call or write to inform us about this.
If you arrive before your scheduled pick-up time, please be aware that your order may not be ready, and you should expect some waiting time while we prepare it.
How far in advance should I order my ice cream cake?
Our Favorite ice cream cakes can always be ordered 1 hour prior to pickup, as long as they are not sold out.
Our Build-Your-Own ice cream cakes need to be ordered at least 48 hours before pickup.
What are the advantages of ordering ice cream online?
Besides the convenience of selecting your ice cream from the comfort of your sofa or office, you also receive a 10% discount on online orders of liter boxes. You can even skip the line when picking up your order.
Allergens and Ice cream ingredients
Do you have lactose-free and vegan ice cream?
Yes, all our sorbets are both lactose-free and vegan, as we use a plant-based stabilizer, and the ice cream itself is made from fruit/berries, lemon juice, water and sugar.
If you're unsure whether a variant is vegan, feel free to ask our staff.
Does your ice cream contain gelatin (animal starch), gluten, eggs or alcohol?
Gelatin/animal starch: We never add animal gelatin, but it might be present in rare cases where we use marshmallows we haven't made ourselves - for instance, in our "Juleskum" ice cream.
Gluten, eggs and alcohol: all these ingredients can be found in our ice creams. For example, varieties containing biscuit or cake crumble almost always include both gluten and eggs. You’ll find alcohol in flavors like tiramisu, Baileys ice cream, and champagne sorbet.
If a flavor contains eggs, gluten, alcohol or similar ingredients, it will always be clearly listed in the allergen information on our selection-page.
If in doubt, please feel free to ask the staff member.
Where can I find allergen lists?
Head over to the selection-page - accessible from the main menu. Locate the specific variant, and click on it to view its allergen list.
Can individuals with nut allergies eat your ice cream?
All our ice cream may contain traces of nuts and peanuts, so we recommend that anyone with a nut allergy should avoid consuming our ice cream.
Do you make sugar-free ice cream?
No – all our varieties contain sugar.
Gift card
When do your gift cards expire?
All our gift cards expire 3 years from the date of issue.
I have one of your old discount cards, can it still be used?
We stopped selling discount cards in November 2019 and have completely phased them out as of January 1, 2023. As a result, they can no longer be used in any of our stores.
Where can your gift cards be used?
All our gift cards can be used both in our physical stores and online.
Ice cream cakes
How far in advance should I order my ice cream cake?
Our Favorite ice cream cakes can always be ordered 1 hour before pickup, as long as they are not sold out.
Our Build-Your-Own ice cream cakes need to be ordered at least 48 hours in advance of pickup.
How many servings does an ice cream cake provide?

The amount of ice cream in our ice cream cakes is enough for 12 people to each enjoy three scoops, or for 18 people to each have two scoops.

Is it possible to order ice cream cakes without marzipan bands and/or with special decorations?
No, you can't do that. We offer a 'build-your-own' ice cream cake where you can choose the ice cream. Beyond that, custom adjustments to the ice cream cakes are not possible.
What is the recommended thawing time for an ice cream cake?
Take the ice cream cake out of the freezer 2 hours before serving.
NOTE: DO NOT OPEN THE PACKAGING BEFORE SERVING
Liter boxes
How many people can enjoy a 1-liter box?
A 1-liter container holds approximately 12 scoops of ice cream. This means you can serve 2 scoops to 6 people, 3 scoops to 4 people, or 4 scoops to 3 people.
How long can a liter box stay fresh in the freezer?
As a general rule, we recommend enjoying your ice cream within 3 months of purchase. After this period, the quality diminishes, and neither the texture nor flavor will be at its best. That said, you won't get sick from eating the ice cream after 3 months.
We also suggest never refreezing ice cream once it has completely thawed. This can cause ice crystals to form, which isn't very pleasant.
What is the size of our liter boxes, how much space do they take in the freezer?
Length (L) Height (H) Width (B)
0.75 - L21cm H8cm B12cm
1 liter - L23.5cm H13.5cm W9cm
1.5 liters - L24.5cm H10cm W15cm
2 liters - L30cm H13cm W15cm
How long can a liter box be transported after purchase?
A liter box can keep for approximately 45 minutes after it has been packed.
