Instant Low Carb Ice Cream
April 30, 2009 by admin
Every two months we have this event called the For Clients Only Pot-Luck. Its just like a regular party – fun times, fun people, and great food, BUT you don’t have to worry about if what you will be eating is going to mess up your physique. Everything is both delicious and physique friendly. All of the fun, and none of the excess body-fat later on.
This month I went to Robert’s Oxygen and got 10 liters of liquid nitrogen to make instant low-carb ice cream. Normally ice cream will take 2-4hrs to make correctly: first a few minutes to make the soup, then 30-60 in the ice cream maker, then 1-3hrs in the freezer for it to cure.
Liquid nitrogen is -321 F, so it is very cold – cold enough to make ice cream in 10min. Everything is the same as on this Blog post (super low-carb ice cream), except you want everything in a steel bowl (others would crack). No ice cream maker required. Then you pour in the liquid nitrogen and stir with a wooden spoon (a metal spoon would freeze your hand – literally). Pour and stir, and repeat until you’ve got a bowl full of low-carb ice cream.
Oh, and NO, your ice cream will not have “nitrogen contamination.” The liquid nitrogen is so cold that it boils away and completely evaporates on contact with anything else – that’s what the smoke/steam is. After the liquid nitrogen boils away you are only left with cold ice cream.
Final note: xylitol makes better low-carb ice cream than erythritol. Erythritol gives you this weird tickle in the back of your throat, and xylitol does not.
Then when you are done with making the low-carb ice cream, you can do stuff like freeze balloons, and whatever else you want to freeze.
