Are you ready for a real brain freeze? Then, you’re gonna just love National Nitrogen Ice Cream Day, a July 13 holiday. Just wait until you taste the difference. this creamy and delicious ice cream is a real treat.

There are two objectives for this special holiday. The first goal for today is to treat yourself and your family to some nitrogen ice cream. For many people, this will be the first time they have enjoyed it. While the price is higher than conventionally made ice cream, the experience is well worth the price. The second objective of this day is to commemorate and honor Gustav Robert Paalen, who received a patent for a double-walled vessel on July 13, 1909. Why is this important? The double-walled vessel is required for making nitrogen ice cream.  

Many people don’t know what nitrogen ice cream is. The process of using nitrogen differs from other traditional ice cream making processes. The nitrogen is so cold, that it will flash freeze the ingredients. The resulting ice crystals are tiny, making the taste smooth and creamy. It can be made using any of the same ingredients and flavors used in traditional ice cream making processes.    

Now that this frosty day has arrived, you will have to do a little research. Only a limited number of ice cream shops and restaurants offer nitrogen ice cream.
