Dry Ice Cream
Dry ice may be used instead of LN2 in preparing ice cream. The process is slower and less impressive to watch but carbonates the ice creams and yields a much smoother texture. Simply prepare the batter as directed then stir in dry ice pellets. Add the dry ice slowly so that the batter doesn't foam up over the side of the bowl. Keep adding dry ice and stirring until the desired consistency is reached. Wait until all the dry ice is gone before serving.

Fill an undamaged 3 liter soda bottle 1/4 full of fruit. Add 2 pellets of dry ice. Place the bottle somewhere nobody will get hurt if it explodes and wait at least an hour. Open carefully and serve. If desired, the bottle may be placed in the freezer to increase the solubility of CO2.
Dippen Dots
It's never worked, but...
Ingredients
- Ice cream batter
- LN2
- Dry ice
Instructions
Prepare the ice cream batter using one of the above recipes. Fill a tall flask with LN2. Drop the batter into the LN2, making sure that individual drops freeze and do not congeal. When the flask is full, empty the dippen dots into another container and store in dry ice. This process needs to be done many times to obtain a reasonable quantity of dippen dots. Keep the dippen dots on dry ice for a day to allow them to warm up, then serve.
