The best ice cream recipe ever I got from a physicist:
Cream + sugar + vanilla, stir until dissolved. Slowly add liquid nitrogen while stirring fervently until sufficiently frozen.
The stirring in of the liquid nitrogen not only freezes the cream, it prevents any cristallisation and fluffs up the ice cream by evaporating. Truly delicious!
- oakwhiz 2y agoI can confirm that this works and is delicious.
- xxs 2y agoif you have LN2, you can add high spirits as well - bitter/sweet liquors are a classic in that combo.
- oakwhiz 2y agoYou can add too much liquor and it will still freeze nicely. Spiced rum was pretty good.
- bruce343434 2y agoHow much of each?
- holowoodman 2y agoJust look up any ice cream recipe. Doesn't really matter. I've used 1l of plain cream, 100g of sugar and the marrow of 1 1/2 vanilla pods.
- e40 2y agoAdd sugar to taste, while liquid. IMO you can never add too much vanilla.
- soegaard 2y agoThe fat content seems too high. Don't you get a film of fat covering the top of you mouth?
- holowoodman 2y agoDepends on the cream you use. But basically it doesn't really matter, you can also use milk, even skimmed milk. Any liquid icecream-mix works, only chunky stuff is problematic.
- haliax 2y agoWhere do you get liquid nitrogen as a home cook? I’ve tried to get my hands on both that and dry ice without any luck
- RunningDroid 2y agoI know in upstate New York the only option is to hope there's a gas supplier‡ relatively close or try ordering it online. ‡: like this: https://noblegassolutions.com/ https://noblegassolutions.com/
- cozzyd 2y agoOne time in grad school we used liquid argon that was going to boil off. Since argon is heavier than Alex the ice cream had a very interesting bubbly consistency.
