One creative way to make refreshing summer treats using dry ice is to create dry ice popsicles. To do this, mix your favorite fruit juice or soda with chunks of dry ice in a mold. The carbonation from the dry ice will create a fizzy and refreshing popsicle. Another idea is to make a dry ice ice cream by mixing cream, sugar, and flavorings with dry ice in a bowl. The dry ice will freeze the mixture quickly, creating a creamy and smooth ice cream. Just be sure to handle dry ice carefully and follow safety precautions when using it in food preparation.
