      Yes, I’ve done it! It’s delicious. You have to make sure you stir it all the time, or else you jsut end up wiht a bowl of frozen milk

      Not out of, but using liquid nitrogen. You make ice cream from whatever you want (say strawberry or chocolate), then you can use liquid nitrogen, which is very cold (-200 degrees) to cool the substance very quickly.
      The ice cream is better because the water in the milk crystallises much faster and into smaller crystallites than you’d get if you put it in a freezer, so it doesn’t freeze your mouth when you eat it and the taste is much more intense.
