DailyDirt: We All Scream For Ice Cream

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

Frozen desserts aren't usually enjoyed as much around this time of year (unless you're reading this from Australia, then they most certainly are). But if you like ice cream and other cold treats, here are just a few recipes and projects that might interest you.

• A machine for making ice cream with liquid nitrogen makes frozen treats on demand. Is it still fresh if it's frozen really really fast? [url]
• Make your own ice cream with liquid nitrogen with this recipe. A gallon of ice cream will use about five gallons of liquid nitrogen (and beware of frostbite while handling the liquid nitrogen). [url]
• HowStuffWorks covers the history of ice cream and notes that about 8% of all milk produced in the US ends up as a frozen dessert. Not all frozen desserts are ice cream, but all ice creams are frozen desserts. [url]
• If you live near Mountain View, you might see some healthier popsicles in your neighborhood. The Little Bee Pop project has been fully funded on Kickstarter, so locally sourced fruits and honey are going to be frozen and sold in the Silicon Valley area. [url]

By the way, StumbleUpon can also recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.
