2. WARNING:
Dry ice is very cold. Always follow safety
precautions when handling dry ice.
You must never touch it directly with your
skin. It is recommended that you wear eye
protection and gloves, or use equipment
(tongs/ spoons) to handle dry ice.
Dry ice should only be used in the presence
of a responsible adult.

The Recipes

4. Cooking with CO2
Fruit Volcano
Ingredients:
150 g of melon
150 g of water-melon
150 g of red apple
150 g of pear
150 g of strawberry
150 g of pineapple
1 kiwi
250 cl. of milk
250 cl. of cream
125 g of sugar.
Vanilla
Cinnamon
Crushed dry ice
Method:
1. Sauce. Boil the milk, the cream and the sugar with
vanilla, cinnamon and the fruit skins and let them
marinate for 12 hours. Filter and chill it.
2. Fruit. Peel all the fruits except the kiwi and create
small balls with a special spoon. Peel the kiwis like a
cylinder, then extract the inner part, to leave them
hollow.
3. Ending. Place the kiwi cylinders on the plate, put a
small amount of crushed dry ice in the hollow that you
have created. Place the fruit balls all around the kiwis.
Then pour the sauce on to the kiwi cylinder – as soon
as it hits the dry-ice you will create a volcanic eruption,
including bubbles and smoke!

9. Steam Train
Cooking with CO2
Ingredients:
2 chocolate cakes (different widths)
1 filipinos pack (Cookies with hollow centers that look like wheels)
1 mikados pack (Thin chocolate sticks )
1 test tube
Smarties
Jelly candies for decoration
Method:
Cut the widest cake, to create a train and a wagon. Cut the thinner
cake to create the train cabin. Place all in a tray, as in the image. Put
the Filipinos in each side of the train, connecting them through the
cake with a Mikado stick. Poke some Mikados into the edges of the
wagon to allow it to hold some load.
Decorate the train with Smarties and jelly candies.
To create the steam chimney, push the test tube containing a small
amount of crushed dry ice into the train cabin and add a drop of water.

10. Cooking with CO2
Penguins in the Mist
Ingredients for 10 Penguins:
20 black olives
2 carrots
25 g of cream cheese
Island Ingredients:
White bread
Ham
Sliced cheese
Drain the olives and dry them well. Separate them by size.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices.
With a sharp knife, cut a small triangle out of each slice of
carrot. Keep these apart.
Cut the bigger olives straight as shown in the picture, from the
top to the bottom, taking care to leave one side uncut.
Fill each olive with creamy cheese, using a spoon or an icing
bag. Clean the possible excesses that may appear out of the
olive.
Poke the filled olives with a toothpick and stick them in a
carrot base.
To create the heads, make a small cut in the smaller olives - big
enough to fit the carrot triangles that you have already cut.
Connect the body and the head using the toothpick.
First, with a rolling pin, smash the white bread slices. They
must be well flattened ‘smashed’ to stop them breaking
when they are rolled.
Layer the ham and cheese over the bread and roll it all up
together.
Cut the sandwich roll in 4 pieces and then put the sandwich
rounds in a tray to look like islands. Place the penguins on
the tray also.
Once in the tray, put a small round bowl or petri-dish in the
center of the tray, add water and some bits of dry ice to
create the mist!
