For a while it has been a fantasy of mine to have ice cream while camping in some remote location.

I don't want to crank up the fridge and turn it into a freezer because I don't like beer slushies (unless I have to).

I was watching a cooking show on SBS a couple of weeks ago and this cook (chef, Heston I think) was cooking outside and used nitrogen to cool something down quickly and he was in a garden, or similar.

Ever since I have been wondering if it would be possible to make ice cream in a stainless steel bowl, chilling the outside with nitrogen, or similar, how easy is it to buy a nitrogen gas cylinder, would I use nitrogen, how safe would it be to carry said gas supply to a remote locality?????

I have a lot of questions and it's actually a bit liberating to get them out of my head.

Does anyone think it's a feasible idea, or should I just get over it? I still reckon it would be quite decadent sitting at Jupiter Well on a star studded night, eating frozen ice cream. mmmm.
