carbonated ice cream.

  • I used to make ice cream for a small natural foods company. It's actually fun to make. This sounds like a great idea.
  • sounds tasty
  • I am very eager to try it. While it's likely to only amount to a fad, it's sure to be a hit when it first comes out as a commercial product.
  • Whoof on the tongue sounds intriguing -- making ice cream by hand is really fatiguing.
  • This needs to be made with Lemon Sorbet too. That would be the bestest thing ever.
  • What will those eggheads think of next!
  • If you put eat it with pop rocks and Coke, you'll die.
  • Now there will be two reasons why it will be next to impossible to eat ice cream quickly.
  • "This needs to be made with Lemon Sorbet too." Absolutely fucking correct. This concept has legs.
  • Finally, science gives us something useful!
  • I think it sounds pretty un-nice. I like my ice cream creamy, thank you. Cream and bubbles - ner the twain shall meet on kitfisto's tongue.
  • I'm going to restrain from making the obvious "stripper name" joke here. Mostly because I'm such a classy guy.
  • What - you know a stripper called 'Carbonated Ice Cream'? Pre-vert!
  • Flid.
  • Kinda reminds me of the background of dippin' dots, which are also manufactured by a "flash freezing" process that utilizes liquid nitrogen (although lacking the unique sizzle effect). I also prefer my ice cream creamy... but this would probably be nice on one of those very hot and humid days! Did someone say lemon sorbet??
  • Here in wisconsin, we don't eat ice cream, we eat frozen custard. Ice cream is in need of an upgrade... Go ahead and have your fizzy stuff, I'll stick to my sweet-cream and egg-yolk smooth and creamy goodness.
  • My god, that sounds fucking gorgeous! Can you post me some?
  • Frozen custard is pretty good, but not that much better than super-premium ice cream, IMHO. We still try to stop in here on our various trips to Maine each summer. The carbonated lemon sorbet idea has my vote, too.
  • "Here in wisconsin..." What goes on in Wisconsin stays in Wisconsin. For the best interest of humanity.
  • Leave bucky alone. He's my frozen custard buddy.
  • The custard stops at Hatfield.
  • Oh... yummy. I am all for this new carbonated stuff. And I love the regional varieties of frozen deliciousness. The only thing that I can recommend about living in Delaware is that they have Rita's Water Ice, which also sell custard. Both are incredibly delicious. NYC has the mysterious Tasty Delight which only has 10 calories per ounce and is made of potatoes or something. Not quite delicious, but interesting. And one of my co-workers quit her job to open a Cold Stone Creamery franchise. Evidently it's been incredibly lucrative.
  • This is not ice cream. This — is — a quiescently frozen confection!! *hyperventilates* If served under a hardened chocolate shell, you'd have a fragmentation Bombe.
  • The frozen custard will not stop AT ALL, try as you might. It is a juggernaut of deliciousity! Plus, it's cheaper than high end ice creams. In fairness, I am a friend of the family that owns the Storheim's restaurants here in Green Bay. (They and Culver's stores are the two primary sources of frozen custard in the area.) But that makes no difference! Try it for yourselves and see. You won't go back. Most regular ice cream tastes like plastic to me now.
  • I can't wait to try this carbonated stuff, though. Just to see...
  • I want to do some research with this in the area of root beer super-floats. If I survive, and don't explode my building, the results could be quite tasty.
  • I have had to look at those damn signs in the malls that proclaim Dippin' Dots to be the "ice cream of the future." The future has come and gone, bitches, and Dippin' Dots never caught on.
  • If served under a hardened chocolate shell, you'd have a fragmentation Bombe. *hits goetter with a newspaper*
  • /not a bombe bard
  • I love Dippin' Dots, but you can't order it online (even packed in dry ice) and the few franchises are all in stinky, inaccessible malls. The "ice cream of the future" needs to stay out of the venues of the past.
  • Just what's needed to keep in shape. As much as I love ice cream (mmmh, vanilla with coffee gelatin, or coke and chocolate floats...), this really sounds like a quite unhealthy dessert to unleash on the public. Sorry if this sounds too food nazi-like.
  • Oh crap. Here's the link.
  • oh god, i didn't even think of the sorbets! (won't somebody think of the sorbets?)...lemon, yes! grape, perhaps? and kitfisto...i believe 'ner' is spelled with an apostrophe...and another e....remember, sept 19th is just around the corner...
  • Now I wanna see those great scientific minds go to work on ice cream that contains nitrous oxide instead of carbon dioxide. Now THAT'S an ice cream of the future.
  • Lemon is a sharp enough flavor for me without adding the extra sharpness that this process sounds like it would. I suppose it could have an appeal to some as an "extreme" lemon sorbet. I'd like to try this custard stuff you speak of, but I haven't spotted it around these parts yet. I liked this description - "It's like fresh fallen snow," said Baker, "but it definitely gets sharp." It sort of looks like snow slush in the picture. I also liked this one alluding to the addictive nature of ice cream whether or not it's carbonated - "The powder is dry, extremely cold, and melts instantly in the mouth, releasing carbon dioxide vapor so quickly that the gas travels up the taster's nose, producing an unexpected but pleasant rush."
  • MonkeyFilter: An unexpected but pleasant rush. I have a sore throat. I want ice cream. /waaaa
  • I would like to offer you some carrot ice cream, but it is not edible (being made of plastic), so here is some mint ice cream for that sore throat.
  • sexyrobot = spelling nazi...
  • isn't 'Nazi' capitalized?
  • Only when referring to the actual Third Reich. When used to imply an over zealous approach to a subject, be it soup or spelling, I believe lower case is acceptable.
  • I bet you'd look good in the uniform though...
  • mmmmmm, mint ice cream sounds lovely... WHAT! I have to make it myself?? *sulks*
  • I love Dippin' Dots, but you can't order it online (even packed in dry ice) and the few franchises are all in stinky, inaccessible malls. ... you live in a place where all the McDonald's are in stinky inaccessible malls? What is the name of this paradise?
