In a literal sense, Rocket Science Ice Cream is likely the “coolest” thing made in Elkhart County. It’s 321 degrees below zero, to be exact.

Rocket Science Ice Cream, located inside Coppes Commons in Nappanee, offers a new twist on ice cream: It’s made-to-order and flash-frozen using liquid nitrogen.

“Flash-freezing results in less air pockets and less ice crystals for a smoother product,” owner Eddie Schwartz said. “In the end, you get this velvety, creamy ice cream. It’s fresh, and it’s smooth. Even if people don’t like ice cream, they’ll like our ice cream.”

Rocket Science started as a science experiment in a trailer in Osceola and was so popular that a storefront was first opened in Nappanee in 2011. //

At Rocket Science Ice Cream, the visual experience is just as fantastic as the taste experience. When you visit, the staff focuses on your order of ice cream. Each individual serving is crafted from a premium ice cream mix and real fruits, nuts, candies, and sauces using their own special recipes or ingredients that you pick. It is then quick-frozen right before your eyes with liquid nitrogen.
