Binging with Babish: Judy the Elf's Hot Cocoa from The Santa Clause

  • In a Klingon-like transfer of power ritual, the conveniently-initialed Scott Calvin kills Santa Clause in front of his son, puts on the dead man's clothes, and takes over his role as the bringer of joy to children around the world. Peyote-trip-storyline aside, there's some pretty choice hot cocoa served to the killer by one of his ancient child servants: a recipe perfected for 1200 years. Can we do the same in our home kitchen? Not without creating some potentially explosive, extra chocolatey hazards!

    Hey, former barista here! If you shake any hot liquid in a thermos, you should shake for about 10 seconds, then slowly and carefully unscrew the cap just enough to burp it and then continue shaking! This helps ensure it won't explode. You can also burp it more than once if youre gonna be shaking for a while! We used to make matcha lattes this way in the cafe i worked at :)

      also a chemistry tip! we do separation reactions that involve shaking, and the reaction creates a lot of gas which has to be released. look up separatory funnels, imo it looks pretty neat :)

      @@supernintendo182 yes and no. Shaking dairy will aerate it, adding a "fluffy" quality to the beverage, which is needed to avoid the decadent nature of drinking melted chocolate solids. Incidentally, I say "fluffy" instead of lighten because the fluff that is created is a different dimension of decadence from the melted chocolate.
      Think of it like saying a hot tub is warm, but also a fleece blanket or sleeping bag is warm. Now imagine if you could enjoy the warmth of both on a cold night without the fleece absorbing the water ruining both the hot tub experience, and the blanket...this is what the frothy milk will do to the hot chocolate.

    The Italian version is really similar to the Spanish one. We even have chocolate bars that are specially made for making this kind of hot chocolate and already come with the cornstarch as part of the ingredients, so you literally just melt it into milk and get almost pudding like hot chocolate. However we don't really drink the chocolate (unless there's a bit left at the end in the cup) we mostly dip churros and other Christmas stuff in it. It's delicious. The best hot chocolates for this are the ones with very little sugar, because the sugar of your dipping stuff gets into it and at the end you have the perfect balance

    • @nightthought2497
      @nightthought2497 3 роки тому +28

      You can reduce the necessary quantity of sugar by adding cayenne and nutmeg. Additionally, a traditional hot cocoa (not hot chocolate) contains very minimal sugar. Replacing sugar with honey will also reduce the glycemic index slightly. Hot cocoa is more akin to coffee than the hot chocolate of childhood. Babs uses semi-sweet, but replacing with unsweetened bakers will net you a similar creaminess without adding sugar. My father is type two, I've had to learn methods for altering recipes to make them feasible. You still have to be careful though, even with all the alterations, I wouldn't drink more than a 6 oz.

      Hot cocoa, Flander's could do without the solids and still execute its flavor profile. It might even be a bit better at execution for not using solids given how incredibly many people like the toasty, easily-drinkable qualities of Swiss Miss and Abuelita. (Alton Brown's idea of toasting some milk powder should give the caramel/toffee notes of sweetened condensed milk while cutting some dairy, will experiment.)
      Hot chocolate, Judy, hands down. A bit less accessible than Flander's, but pays back in spades by using the solids well and is absolutely a cup to "Christmas hibernate" to. Richly satisfying.

    Wonderful recipes! Just made the super rich pudding style cocoa for my wife and I. It was rich and oh so wonderful ~ Merry Christmas all!
