TECHNIQUES IN CHOCOLATE

June 13, 2013

Today was an interesting and fun day in the kitchen. We had saved some of the vanilla ice cream base from yesterday and got to work with liquid nitrogen. 

We started by filling a bowl with liquid nitrogen. 


We then drizzled the vanilla ice cream base into the bowl. 


The end result was dipping dots.

We also created an ice cream bowl by taking a ladle and dipped it in the ice cream base.




 The ladle was then dipped into the liquid nitrogen. 



 Then the frozen ice was removed from the ladle.

After the liquid nitrogen, we moved on to making bananas foster. We started by cutting the ends off a banana and cutting it into slices.

  We then added butter to a saucepan and melted.

 Brown sugar was added.


 Then the banana slices. 


And last but not least, the rum was added to the pan.


After the rum was cooked off, the mixture was poured over a scoop of ice cream.

We also made a chocolate souffle.

After the souffle, our team made rocky road ice cream.  We made the French ice cream base and then added to the ice cream machine. 


We chopped nuts and then used the liquid nitrogen to freeze the chopped marshmallows. 


Once the ice cream was done, we folded in the chopped nuts and marshmallows.
