Instant Ice Cream - Made with Liquid Nitrogen
Okay, if anyone decides to try this at home, I take no responsibility for it! :lol: But today in the lab, we made some more ice-cream with liquid nitrogen to cool... Worked really well, tasted great! :thumb:
So - first off we needed some liquid nitrogen. Basically this is just ait thats cooled to -200degC so it turns into a liquid (air is something like 80% nitrogen), so nothing toxic!:
Now, we took 1pt of milk, 1pt of doublecream and a punnet of strawberries and blackberries, added into a metal pan:
This was blended quickly with the food blender:
Now the fun bit - time to freeze the ice-cream. Liquid nitrgen was added to the pan with hte blender on - small amounts in stages so as not to form a big ice block:
after five minutes the mixture was starten to thicken and get cold:
But still more nitrogen was added in small amounts...
It was getting there now:
After about twenty minutes of slowly adding around a litre and a half of liquid nitrogen the ice-cream was ready:
Et voila...
