Products & Services
In the spring of 1999, while students at Iowa State University,
founders Thomas (T.J.) Paskach and William (Will) Schroeder invented a
new way to flash-freeze ice cream using liquid nitrogen. The “mad
scientists” soon discovered a breakthrough invention made better
homemade ice cream than we had ever had before. A year later the
company was formed, a patent was pending, and a full-scale,
computer-controlled prototype was ready for testing at the 2000 Iowa
State Fair.Nitro Ice Cream became an instant success. The novelty of the process intrigued people to try it once - the incredible texture and flavor brought them back several times with family, friends, even strangers off the street, just to try our Nitro Ice Cream!
Faster
The exclusive freezing technology allows ice cream to be frozen in well under one second, ready to eat!
Smoother
The faster you freeze ice cream, the smaller the ice crystals are. This results in a smoother texture. And since we freeze our ice cream faster than anyone else, our ice cream is the smoothest around!
Better
With the best process to make ice cream in the world, it only makes sense that we use quality ingredients and flavors.
