The process involves the use of liquid smoke, a concentrated form of smoke flavor made by condensing the smoke from burning wood or plant material, or a smoking gun, which infuses smoke flavor into food by blowing smoke directly onto it. The ideal temperature for smoking ice cream is between 0°C and 4°C (32°F and 39°F), and the process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the method and desired level of smokiness.
