Systems and methods of producing a frozen food product include dosing ingredients with a liquefied gas while mixing the ingredients using self-cleaning interlocking beaters. The beaters are optionally also disposed to clean a container in which the ingredients are frozen. The rate and amount of cooling is controlled by measuring the quantity of liquid nitrogen, measuring viscosity of the frozen food product, measuring temperature, and/or the like.

1. A system comprising: a container mount;a container having a bottom and sides configured to hold ingredients, the container configured to attach to the container mount;a coolant dosing system configured to provide a controlled amount of coolant to the ingredients in the container; andfirst and second beaters configured to mix the ingredients in the container, each of the first and second beaters configured to scrape the ingredients from a surface of the other of the first and second beaters and configured to scrape the ingredients from the sides and the bottom of the container, the first and second beaters being disposed to pass within a distance of each other, the distance being sufficient to cause the first and second beaters to scrape the ingredients from the surface of the other of the first and second beaters. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second beaters comprises: a shaft; anda helical spiral. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the helical spirals of the first and second beaters are positioned such that an outer edge of at least one of the helical spirals is less than 3/16th inches from the side of the container and a bottom of each of the helical spirals is less than 3/16th inches from the bottom of the container. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the helical spiral of the first beater overlaps with the helical spiral of the second beater such that an outer edge of the helical spiral of the first beater is positioned less than ¼ inches from the shaft of the second beater and such that an outer edge of the helical spiral of the second beater is positioned less than ¼ inches from the shaft of the first beater. 5. The system of claim 2, wherein, for each of the first and second beaters, a upper part and a bottom part of the helical spiral being connected to the shaft. 6. The system of claim 5, further comprising a motor configured to rotate the first and second beaters, wherein the first and second beaters are configured such that, as the motor rotates the first and second beaters, the helical spiral of each of the first and second beaters moves in a downward direction such that the helical spirals push the ingredients downward toward the bottom of the container. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the motor is configured to rotate the first and second beaters at a same speed and in a same direction. 8. The system of claim 6, the helical spiral of each of the first and second beaters having a pitch of the helical spiral, a diameter of the helical spiral, and a wire diameter selected to maintain the distance as the first and second beaters are rotated by the motor, wherein the distance is less than 3/16th inches. 9. The system of claim 2, wherein the helical spirals of the first and second beaters are positioned such that a bottom region of each of the helical spirals is less than 3/16th inches from the bottom of the container. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the bottom region of the helical spiral of each of the first and second beaters is straight and is parallel to the bottom of the container, and wherein the bottom of the container is flat. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein a taper of the bottom region of the helical spiral of each of the first and second beaters matches a taper of the bottom of the container. 12. A device for making a frozen confection, the device comprising: a container having a bottom and sides configured to hold ingredients;first and second beaters configured to mix the ingredients in the container, each of the first and second beaters comprising: a shaft, anda helical spiral secured to the shaft; anda motor configured to rotate the first and second beaters, each of the first and second beaters positioned such that, during rotation by the motor: a surface of the first and second beaters passes within a first distance of a surface of the other of the first and second beaters to scrape the ingredients from the surface of the other of the first and second beaters,a bottom surface of each of the first and second beaters passes within a second distance of the bottom of the container to scrape the ingredients from the bottom of the container,an outer edge of at least one of the first and second beaters passes within a third distance of the sides of the container to scrape the ingredients from the sides of the container, andwherein the helical spirals of the first and second beaters positioned such that an outer edge of one of the helical spirals is less than 3/16th inches from the sides of the container and a bottom of each of the helical spirals is less than 3/16th inches from the bottom of the container. 13. The device of claim 12, wherein the first and second beaters are configured such that, as the motor rotates the first and second beaters, the helical spiral of each of the first and second beaters moves in a downward direction such that the helical spiral of each of the first and second beaters pushes the ingredients downward toward the bottom of the container. 14. The device of claim 12, wherein: a diameter of each of the helical spirals is greater than a radius of the container. 15. The device of claim 12, wherein the motor is configured to rotate the first and second beaters in a first direction, the device further comprising: a container mount;an additional motor configured to rotate the container mount in a second direction opposite the first direction; anda control circuit configured to control the motor and the additional motor. 16. The device of claim 15 wherein the control circuit controls the speed of rotation of the container mount. 17. A mixer, comprising: first and second beaters configured to mix ingredients in a container, each of the first and second beaters comprising: a shaft, anda helical spiral having a pitch of the spiral, a diameter of the spiral, and a wire diameter,wherein the helical spiral of the first beater overlaps with the helical spiral of the second beater; anda motor configured to rotate the first and second beaters at a same speed and in a same direction, each of the first and second beaters positioned such that, during rotation by the motor, a surface of the first and second beaters passes within a distance of a surface of the other of the first and second beaters to scrape the ingredients from the surface of the other of the first and second beaters. 18. The mixer of claim 17, wherein the pitch of the spiral, the diameter of the spiral, and the wire diameter are selected to maintain the distance as the first and second beaters are rotated by the motor, wherein the distance is less than 3/16th inches. 19. The mixer of claim 17, wherein the helical spiral of the first beater overlaps with the helical spiral of the second beater such that an outer edge of the helical spiral of the first beater is positioned less than ¼ inches from the shaft of the second beater and such that an outer edge of the helical spiral of the second beater is positioned less than ¼ inches from the shaft of the first beater. 20. The mixer of claim 17, wherein the first and second beaters are configured such that, as the motor rotates the first and second beaters, the helical spiral of each of the first and second beaters moves in a downward direction such that the helical spirals push the ingredients downward toward the bottom of the container.
