It's a new one on me. We noticed that a small gourmet bakery near us had signs saying that they were going to start selling ice cream they made themselves. It was a hot Sunday afternoon, and our AC is temporarily offline, so we decided to give it a try. Turns out they make it to order in small batches. They put a base, which is relatively healthy for ice cream, with the flavoring which is things like chunks of chocolate or pieces of fruit, into a mixer, whip it up and dump liquid nitrogen in to freeze it. Apparenly since it freezes so fast it doesn't get ice crystals and is incredibly smooth. Plus the fresh ingredients make it very flavorful. My wife thought it was the best ice cream she has ever had. Im not sure I would go that far but certainly right up there. Also, a small serving, a small cup worth, so a responsible treat.

Apparently there are places doing this as a franchise and probably other individual sites as well. Is this really new, other than to us? Have others tried this? Thoughts from those who have? Is it all this good?
