Carbonated Ice Cream Recipe

This is surprisingly good. I say 'surprisingly' because I never thought of ice cream as a carbonated food. It's safer than making liquid nitrogen ice cream since it's hard to hurt yourself with dry ice.

Dry Ice Ice Cream Ingredients

• dry ice (easiest way to locate it is to search on the internet for your city and 'dry ice')
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Make Dry Ice Ice Cream

1. First you need to crush the dry ice. Do this by placing your dry ice in a paper bag and either smash it with a mallet or hammer or roll over the bag using a rolling pin.

2. Mix all of the other ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

3. Shake the dry ice into the ice cream, a little at a time, mixing between additions.

4. As you add more dry ice, it will start to harden and will get more difficult to mix. Continue adding dry ice until the ice cream has reached the desired consistency. A blender or mixer will probably work better than stirring the ice cream by hand, but if you use an appliance be careful not to overheat the motor as the ice cream hardens.

5. Feel free to stir in flavorings or candy pieces. I add chocolate syrup to taste.

6. The ice cream may be very cold! Use care when eating it to avoid frostbite. If the ice cream is soft enough to stir or scoop it should be warm enough to eat safely.

7. You can freeze leftover ice cream to eat later.
