The secret ingredient is the liquid nitrogen that's been infused into the snack through a technique that is performed in front of the person who ordered. Because the liquid nitrogen is too cold to touch, the snack is served with a thin stick that you skewer the puffs onto, so that one's hands don’t ever need to make contact.
