HOW IT’S MADE
Founded in 2015, New City Microcreamery is a metropolis of fine confections, smooth creams, and delectable treats that has been voted the Best Ice Cream in Massachusetts*. We’ve taken the ice cream of our wildest imaginations and brought it to life. We created something we believe in; our childhood dream of a utopian society where ice cream rules - and most importantly - it's good. It's really good.
We use a liquid nitrogen process to freeze the cream. After the scratch ice cream base has steeped in its flavor for 24 hours in our walk-in refrigerator, we pour it into our mixer. First, we slowly move the base and introduce the liquid nitrogen, which is more than negative 300 degrees and freeze the base. We then increase the speed on the mixer to aerate the frozen cream and give it its lighter texture and mouthfeel. Using the super-cold liquid nitrogen creates a smaller ice crystal which gives it the smooth New City texture we look for. Plus... it's a heck of a show.
