Most people are familiar with ice cream, some are addicted, many have a favourite kind, and together they spend over £800 million per year in the UK consuming over 8 litres per person.
Few spend much time thinking about the science behind ice cream, yet it encompasses a rich breadth of chemistry, materials science and engineering. This presentation will unpack the dark art that is ice cream making, highlighting some of the finer points of chemistry involved, and naturally will involve some practical demonstrations. You might even get to see ice cream being made, and there may well be a free tasting!
