(10) Kelvin-made Ice Cream @ Smitten Ice Cream

Oh, my, god. If I could marry this ice cream, I would. Kelvin-made ice cream from Smitten is the supreme. It is the cream of the cream of the crop. Does that make sense? It's the silkiest & most dreamy ice cream in the universe. What makes it extra cool (pun intended) is that it is made with liquid nitrogen, one scoop at a time, in 60 seconds. Imagine a really playful science experiment that you get to watch and then devour. It's absolutely brilliant. It's better than Bi-Rite and better than Humphrey Slocombe - two things I did not think could be possible. Check out Robyn Sue Goldman, the nerdbabe who spent two years developing Kelvin - the machine that churns out these glorious scoops. I guarantee you will be completely smitten.
