Trendy Ice Cream Made in Snowdrift at Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin – Video
A trend is going viral online for making creamy ice cream right in a snowdrift. The NN.RU editorial team decided not to stay on the sidelines and also try to make the dessert using a simple recipe — just as severe frosts hit Nizhny Novgorod over the weekend. Our photographer Natalya Burukhina armed herself with a pot and a whisk. What she achieved — watch in the video.
Photographer Natalya Burukhina attempts to make ice cream in a snowdrift during freezing temperatures in Nizhny Novgorod.
To make the ice cream, first you need to prepare a depression in the snow for the metal pot and partially fill it with salt. This allows the ice cream mixture to freeze faster and more effectively.
The list of ingredients has nothing extraordinary: heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanillin. The resulting mixture needs to be whisked until it thickens. The output is soft ice cream with a creamy texture.
Some participants of the trend say the ice cream becomes thick after just 5-10 minutes of mixing. But Natalya, in the -20-degree frost (-4°F), had to whisk the sweet cream actively for almost a full half-hour to get the right consistency. However, it turned out very tasty!
By the way, soon there will be even more places in Nizhny Novgorod for such experiments. The thing is, a powerful snowfall is approaching the city. When to expect it, we tell in our article.
