Making ice cream is not easy. Cream and sugar have to first be mixed in a frozen container. Ingredients may be added at this point, if desired. Then, the mixture must be stirred and whipped until the cream and sugar mixture is frozen. Depending on the equipment, this may take as long as an hour. After the ice cream is prepared, it must be kept frozen until it is ready to be enjoyed. Making ice cream is taxing, but most people would agree that it is worth the work.

When it comes to making ice cream, you can do it the traditional way, or you can use liquid nitrogen to freeze your mixture. These two methods are very different. Making ice cream the traditional way consists of stirring the mixture in a frozen container which can be tiring and take much longer. On the other hand, using liquid nitrogen to freeze the mixture can be much faster. Since liquid nitrogen freezes the mixture faster, the crystal grains are smaller, giving the ice cream a creamier texture. Even though both methods are different, they both produce a delicious ice cream!
