Oh yeah, I tried that.
Nitrogen ice cream: ice cream made under super cold conditions
I went and visited Creamistry, an ice cream shop that uses liquid nitrogen to produce its goods. Since it uses the quick chemical process, it ends up flash-freezing the batch of ice cream. It’s actually really neat to watch, all mist and icy temperatures. However, the actual product itself was a let down. Perhaps because there isn’t any slow churning involved, the scoop ends up being super dense, and there’s not the usual creaminess associated with ice cream. At least, I got a *cool* show, though.
Now we know: If we want a show, visit a creamistry but don’t expect fantastic ice cream.
I know. It’s too bad, huh?
