Nitrogen Ice Cream Is Sweeping The Nation And You Can Find It At This Connecticut Restaurant

Science and desserts aren't really thought of as a typical pairing, but that's just what you'll enjoy if you try nitrogen ice cream. If you've never heard of this far-flung fad, it's a pretty neat new trend that's sweeping the nation. This ice cream is flash frozen right before your eyes, using liquid nitrogen rather than ice. It's a futuristic-looking process that adds a bit of a thrill to this centuries-old dessert. You can find nitrogen ice cream in Shelton, Connecticut at Sugar Rush USA, a delicious shop filled with sweet treats. There's no shortage of dessert shops in Connecticut, but it's pretty rare for them to be served in a science lab-type setting like this!

Sugar Rush opened up just a few years ago and it's home to perhaps the most unique desserts in Connecticut.

The assembly line-style counter service may look similar to that of a traditional ice cream shop, but once the product is made, you'll see the difference.

The ice cream is made right in front of you. It takes less than 60 seconds for the product to freeze using liquid nitrogen.

The quick freeze time means there's far fewer ice crystals and air pockets in the ice cream, so even though it looks the same, it's much denser and more flavorful.

Sugar Rush offers hard scoop and soft serve ice cream as well, for the traditionalists out there.

You can build your own concoction featuring a variety of unique toppings.

There are a few other delightful treats at Sugar Rush, like the divine stuffed doughnuts that are filled with ice cream and toppings.

I don't know about you, but my sweet tooth is craving some satisfaction right about now!
