The soft and creamy taste of ice cream is enough to bring water in the mouth of a person at first instance. Going through this craze of people towards it, different types of experiments are made by the manufacturers of ice cream.

The making process of the liquid nitrogen ice cream:
- In the large bowl, add one quart of milk.
