I teach chemistry to junior high-school students and one of the experiments they perform is making ice-cream from liquid nitrogen.
What we do is pour cream and instant chocolate into Styrofoam cups and mix them. Then we pour a very small amount of liquid nitrogen on the ingredients.
The nitrogen quickly boils aways and freezes the cream. Since the nitrogen boils away there is no danger of any sort of over-dose, and in any case nitrogen is not toxic at atmospheric conditions (80% of the air is nitrogen).
The only problem is that the cream has to be stirred well while nitrogen is dispensed into the cups, otherwise you get a hard frozen layer of cream instead of nice fluffy ice-cream.

Far too cold. The fat content of ice cream would freeze and the ice cream would be impossibly hard. Another answer said it would be fatal and that's right too. Talk about an ice cream headache!

the melting point of ntrogen is -210.00 °C so if we ate that ice cream, we would be frozen to death
