Purchase the dry ice the day you want to make the ice cream. Dry ice isn’t easily stored at home! They have it at most grocery stores and sometimes at liquor stores too. Just call around to a few different places if you have any issues finding it at your favorite local shops. You must be careful while handling it but you can touch it, for a second or two, without it burning you. After that watch out! When you purchase the dry ice, it should come in a plastic bag with handles. It’s best stored in the freezer, wrapped in a couple of plastic bags until you’re ready to use it.

Mix the milk, cream, sugar and vanilla bean paste together in a bowl with an electric mixer or in our case we used a Kitchen-Aid Mixer. Use a lower speed because we just need to mix together all of these ingredients – nothing needs to be whipped and you only need to mix for around a minute. Using fresh fruit is the easiest for this recipe. We placed about 4 large de-stemmed strawberries in a plastic bag and smashed them with a tenderizer. That’s part of the fun part so smash away until the berries are just pulp!

Add the strawberries to the bowl and mix until the berries are evenly distributed with you milk base. Now for the extra fun part – the dry ice. Go ahead and think of something that makes you mad. Yeah, get it out of your system with this dry ice, because now you get to smash it with a tenderizer!

Place the dry ice flat on a cutting board and be sure to hold the bag while you are smashing. It’s really important to smash the dry ice into small bits and fine particles – like sand. Don’t add pebbly chunks! The dry ice can be added in small amounts to the mix. You only want to add enough dry ice for the ice cream to freeze into the temperature and texture of ice cream – if you add too much it can make the ice cream too hard to scoop or eat. We used around 3/4 of a cup of dry ice but this really can vary.
