DIY DIPPIN' DOTS with DRY ICE?!
DIY DIPPIN' DOTS with DRY ICE?!
⚠️ Safety Warning:
Dry ice is extremely cold (-109°F / -78°C) and should never be touched with bare hands or ingested directly. Always use gloves or tongs when handling, work in a well-ventilated area, and keep away from kids and pets.
✨Recipe:
Ingredients:
• Ice cream of choice (softened)
• 1 large block of dry ice
Directions:
1. Let your ice cream soften slightly so it can be squeezed, but not melted, then transfer it to a squeeze bottle.
2. Wearing thick gloves, place the dry ice block on a wood or plastic surface (not metal or granite, it may melt quicker or crack!).
3. Carefully squeeze small droplets of ice cream onto the dry ice. They’ll freeze almost instantly in 15–30 seconds.
4. Use tongs or tweezers to remove the frozen dots and transfer them to a bowl. Keep them in the freezer between rounds so they stay frozen.
5. Repeat until you’ve got a full bowl of dotty goodness, then enjoy the coolest (literally) homemade treat around! 🍨
