About 196below

At 196below, we’ve been redefining dessert since day one — bringing science, creativity, and flavour together in every scoop. Founded on a passion for innovation and unforgettable food experiences, we specialise in liquid nitrogen ice cream, handcrafted fresh before your eyes and frozen at an incredible –196°C.

What started as a small, Melbourne-based idea to make ice cream more exciting has grown into a crowd favourite. Today, our 196below Nitrogen Ice Cream Truck travels far and wide, serving up smiles at music festivals, food festivals, community markets, corporate events, weddings, and private celebrations.

We cater to events of all sizes — from intimate gatherings to large-scale festivals — bringing both the theatre of nitrogen and the taste of premium, made-to-order ice cream. Each event we attend becomes an experience: the billowing clouds of nitrogen, the smooth texture of fresh-frozen ice cream, and the pure joy of something truly unique.

At 196below, we’re not just serving dessert — we’re serving a moment of wonder. Whether you’re looking to wow a crowd or add something extraordinary to your event, we bring the magic, the flavour, and the fun.
