Scientists promise ice cream that doesn't melt

Two steel bowls with ice cubes and salt sandwiched in the middle (or home-made brine slurry) will do the job too.

Part of what makes (good) Ice Cream good is the smoothness of the texture. There’s a few ways to get that:

  1. Milk Fat. The old, traditional (and still excellent) method. But milk fat got expensive, so…
  2. Freezing really, really fast (so the ice crystals that form don’t have time to grow and get gritty). But liquid N2 got expensive, so…
  3. Gels & Emulsifiers.

And there you go.
Also: Huge recommend for making your own. Fast, fun, cheap, easy, and total control.
