Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 drops Liquid food coloring (optional)
- 2 pounds Dry ice (food grade)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 2
If you would like to create colored Dipping Dots, divide the mixture into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each. Stir well to distribute the color evenly.
Step 3
Prepare the dry ice by wearing gloves and carefully crushing it into a fine powder using a hammer or mallet, inside a heavy-duty plastic bag. Be cautious while handling as direct contact with skin can cause burns.
Step 4
Place the crushed dry ice into a large metal bowl. Ensure there is good ventilation in your workspace.
Step 5
Attach a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a small round tip. Fill the bottle or bag with the prepared liquid mixture.
Step 6
Carefully squeeze small droplets of the mixture into the bowl of dry ice. The droplets will instantly freeze and form into small beads.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop out the frozen Dipping Dots. Dust them lightly with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Transfer the Dipping Dots to an airtight container and store them in the freezer until ready to serve.
Step 9
Serve immediately in small bowls or cups and enjoy!
