Awesome choice! Liquid nitrogen ice cream is one of the coolest (literally!) and fastest ways to make ice cream. It freezes almost instantly, creating an ultra-smooth and creamy texture because it prevents large ice crystals from forming.

⚠ Safety Note: Liquid nitrogen is extremely cold (-320°F / -196°C), so always handle it with care using protective gloves and goggles and work in a well-ventilated area.

🍦 Philadelphia-Style Ice Cream Recipe (No Eggs)

Servings: About 1 quart

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• ¾ cup sugar
