A new dessert kiosk has opened in Brent Cross shopping centre, allowing shoppers to create their own ice-cream lollies. The stand, run by Haute Dolci, sits in the ground-floor atrium and offers four flavours: pistachio, strawberry, chocolate and chocolate hazelnut.
Customers choose three toppings, which are mixed in a cocktail-style shaker before the lolly is coated in dark, milk or white chocolate. The final step adds nuts, dried fruit, chocolate eggs, honeycomb or caramel pieces, with a drizzle of Belgian chocolate.

Drinks and waffles on the menu
The kiosk also serves matcha teas, coffee and mocktails. A Times Series reviewer tried a vanilla matcha, prepared in front of customers, and a fruity mocktail. Fresh strawberries dipped in chocolate and freshly made waffles are also available.
Miniature desserts, including lemon curd cakes and raspberry mousse, are sold alongside Basque cheesecakes and layered chocolate cakes. The kiosk opened last month and is the first of its kind for Haute Dolci, which operates dessert parlours in Wembley Park and Harrow.
