While this ice cream shop is part of a national chain, chances are you’ve never had nitrogen ice cream, but this is your chance. The ice cream is frozen using nothing but liquid nitrogen. Customers can choose from a wide variety of ingredients, and then the contents are blended together until nitrogen is released into the bowl. It’s fun to watch the process come together into a bowl of absolutely delicious ice cream.
