Mystery Recipe: Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream

Well two of you guessed it. Congrats Sabrina and TastefoBeirut. I am surprised I thought more would have guessed it right. The mystery recipe is Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream (no escargots though TastefoBeirut)! Yeah we got down and dirty with a bit of molecular gastronomy!

When we first planned this experiment I told a few of my friends. They all asked if the liquid nitrogen was in the ice cream. I said 100% certain Of course not. Well…I was wrong. The liquid nitrogen goes in the ice cream.  I guess its not toxic then lol. How does it work? Well liquid Nitrogen has a temperature of -196 C ( or -321 F). That is COLD! It freezes things a million times fast (might be exaggerating) then a freezer at home.

For this recipe we needed:

  • a metal bowl
  • a wooden spoon
  • heavy duty gloves
  • a badass face protective gear
  • A few food obsessed bloggers with one that has access to liquid nitrogen
  • a willing person to be the designated “cook”!

Zeste

The province of Quebec now has its very own French food channel. Welcome to…

I found out about this new channel in an odd way actually. I was at the Berri subway station, an major subway station here in Montreal where a few lines cross. They were distributing  Zeste fliers with a fridge magnet. Love fridge magnets!

Right now the only cable company offering Zeste.tv is Videotron on channel 47 or 647 in HD. I am checking it out this morning for the first time on TV. Right now the show is L’Effet Vézina and on the menu is a maple glazed ham…for Easter of course.
