4 Levels of Hot Chocolate: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious 

By N t

And both of them know it

Another plane of culinary existence. The Mexican plane of culinary existence ;)

You know someone is skilled when they don't need to explain. And subtle confidence.

ok i just imagined saul glowing and ascending when you said that

Heck, Saúl even made his own almond milk! Impressive is an understatement

I was with Daniel until he mucked it up with those half-assed s'mores.

😂😂😂

💀

😂😂😂😂🤣

Totally agree 😂

HAHAHHAHAHH

oll

Facts

Periodt.

Every episode needs Chef Saul

absolutely, he´s so charming, also the presentation of his chocolate was stunning, traditional and beautiful

He is just so wholesome, and the traditional ways and flair he adds in his cooking is remarkable

no, i'd prefer not having mexican hot chocolate.

@@rustyshackleford2934 where do you think chocolate came from

I appreciated the booze, but yeah... a cold hot chocolate was an unexpected oxymoron.

I was expecting peanut butter …

I was looking for this comment lmaoooo

I was looking for this comment. I literally said “so not hot chocolate.”

Lol he made s'mores themed chocolate milk

@Golden Coin unfortunately, not for my location. I can dream of some day, though!

Yeahhh! Is actually not fancy, you can eat churros and champurrado every day en Mexico because is the most common thing ever, but it’s also te most delicious and he made them look amazing 🤤(I’m Mexican)

@@metzerims yeah as someone not from any of the americas all of them look a lil over the top, as we dont use marshmallows or any toppings here for hot chocolate...but i will definetly try the churros one, sounds amazing!

@@metzerims depende en donde vives. Si estás por CDMX pues si venden champurrado en cada esquina lol

Champurrado is not fancy, it's traditional, like he said

Steven is not.

@@MrSinister718 why is that

Don’t forget HOT

That 1k mark is satisfying

so sweet ❤️

Frank would harvest the almonds before milking them

@@fatalerok But only after first creating an ideal planet that would be perfect for growing the right almonds.

And then Stephen and Daniel were just S H O O K E T H

@@trevorpacelli8056 Frank will be the first to terraform Mars

Frank would milk every almond by himself

@@emilioherrera6345 I know 😅, the joke is he is too hot and the water instantly evaporates

Lol

@@emilioherrera6345 u didn't get the joke man

*Turns into plasma*

Just curious what’s wrong with nestle ?

@@kierrawilliams5648 look up how they treat their workers- absolutely horrible- and also the water crisis in South Asia they contributed to

@@mai-ya-hee ok thank you I will

Yes! give it a try, it's waay better

puedes probar con la barra de chocolate de "el mayordomo", es el mejor chocolate que he probado, y directo de oaxaca.

Mexican hot chocolate does not have chilli in it

@@adri1597 I'm sorry, I thought it did because of a museum I went to once and it does work incredibly well in it. But I'll try to find out what that's called instead

@@orangeleprachaun4723 thats a traditional Aztec hot chocolate, it's made with water and chile and has no sugar it was considered a delicacy. Saul made champurrado, they're both Mexican drinks and made of chocolate, but they are most definitely not the same drink

@@reginalugo2202 oh! I'm glad to know that there is a difference! Now I know why they call it Aztec chocolate.

@@reginalugo2202 I read that its traditional mexican to add dry chilli to hot chocolate. Not common but traditional.

Also Penny: "You call *that* booze?!"

Penny again: *"PATHETIC!"*

Penny again: *let me show you my booze cellar*

Penny : * is wet *

Penny: -Makes small batch of hot chocolate- Now I will add this bourbon... -glu glug glug- and there's no need for toppings because you wont notice after the second drink (drink is 2/3 bourbon)

that one hit hard

@@leticiabastos6245 as hard as an entire cheesecake to the face

That sounds ridiculously good

@@joshsanchezxD it is lol

Is it called champurrado there too? It would make sense if so. Just curious

@@dswan1418 ye lol

My husband is Filipino so when Saul said he was adding champorado to his hot chocolate my mind went to the rice dish too 😂

I was a little worried for that hot chocolate when i saw him on my screen, honestly 😬😂

Never forget the cheesecake.

OMG same 😂

No the ketchup will always be infamous 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What happened with the cheesecake?

Perfectly executed before disqualifying himself with cold hot chocolate 😂😂😂👌🏻 that Daniel, what a character

Agreed I'll drink all 3

Definitely! All winners, minutes the sprinkles.😊

We need a episode where the chefs use their “famous” ingredient in the recipe. Stephen: Cheesecake Daniel: Peanut Butter, Blackberries Saul: Cheese, Peppers Penny: Alcohol Rawlston: Smoke Emily: Ketchup Lorenzo: Red pepper Flakes

@@wagnerallday Frank's "Secret ingredient" is that he makes everything from scratch for no particular reason

Quick?

I don't think he is a hipster at all. He is way to upbeat, goofy and clean looking to be a hipster.

Haha he’s a hip hipster 😂

To me, he doesn’t look or act like a hipster on his Instagram account…..

Its gonna be a great season finale when Daniel and Gabby wed.

@@MrSinister718 I think he’s married

Had me rolling 😂

He's the best, up there with Frank

He's always fun to watch.

yeah it's the same with all nut milks

For the almond milk, the one thing to look out for is that homemade one's probably don't have the same vitamin and mineral content as some store-bought options. The store bought ones tend to be fortified with more calcium and such

@@NeilDavis10 Read that store bought almond milk add vitamins, stabilizers and sweeteners that take away a lot of the good stuff tho. In homemade nut milk you dont add binders, preservatives or other fillers which ultimately makes it healthier than the store bought ones even tho they have added vitamins. And store bought almond milk as very little nuts in it.

@@miamigangbanger yeah but since you're not eating much of the almonds or whatever nut you're using, there is little nutritional value and a lot of recipe blogs and "influencers" don't know this or neglect to share this info (a lot of people instantly think natural = better without a thought). this is why there are added vitamins/minerals from commercial brands in order to better match regular milk for those who consume it as a vegan alternative or could use the extra nutrients. you'd need to drink an inhuman amount of homemade to even match cow's milk in terms of health properties and even then, nuts don't have all the same nutrients so it depends on needs. it's a toss up -- you can go au naturel without preservatives and fillers for a better, richer taste and freshness, but you won't get much from it and it can be pricy or wasteful if not used quickly so it's not always feasible for the average person. for something like this, though, I think homemade is the way to go since it's less watery and a special treat. plus, depending on the brand's emulsification process and type of nut, they can taste weird after high heat.

@@washedblue I wouldnt go all natural on my diet personally. But when it comes to making your own chocolate drinks and stuff then I would prefer the taste over the nutrients aka making my own nut milk and stuff

I’m just disappointed that Daniel didn’t make a blackberry-infused hot chocolate

Just be happy no one put ketchup in their hot chocolate

Laughing Lorenzo would definitely put a whole lotta butter while Alcoholic Penny would probably put in a quart of rum in it

@@mechadoggy bro 😭😭😭 my exact thoughts before watching this were what random fruit is he gonna add to hot chocolate to ruin it and call it his “secret ingredient”

@@jboww2121 I mean, blackberries would probably go very well with hot chocolate. Knowing Daniel though, he would probably add some chili powder and say he was making a hot chocolate drink inspired by spicy mole sauce.

The best hot chocolate I have tasted was at a café lateral across the street of the cathedral in Morelia Michoacan…the odd thing is that it was dark like if they didn’t put milk in it. I dream of one day returning there just to have that sip again.

Hello camarade de France ! Aurait tu des adresses où déguster un vrai chocolat chaud mexicain ? Ça donne vraiment envie 🍫😋

@@juliettee416 Le vrai chocolat chaud Mexicain, je l’ai goûté au Mexique du coup😅 Mais pour un super viennois en France, je recommande Anggélina dans le 1e arrondissement de Paris et la boutique/café Lindt à Opéra qui est une tuerie absolue!

What is a vienna hot chocolate? I‘m from Austria and never heard about this term

@@Sabrina-sx9fl Really? That’s kind of funny haha. When you ourder a Viennois in France, you get a hot chocolate made of melted dark chocolate, milk and sugar with whipped heavy cream on top. Vienna is actually on my travel bucket list specifically because I want to try a real Vienna hot chocolate from Vienna, I hope it’s not justa French invention 🤯

None can resist Saul he's too hot 😫😒😒

Same same smh

I’ve rewatched that part 10 times now and I still get distracted by his pure hotness 😒😤

a pro doesnt even use a regular garnish. They make another dessert to garnish the thing theyre making. It's like dessert inception

I don't like it. The order was hot chocolate, not hot chocolate and churros. He cheated. Make a better hot chocolate. Don't cheat and add something to beat the competition. His hot chocolate should be able to stand on its own.

You right

Two Man City fans in a row?! Ew

We need more Saul in our lives. Please, bring this dude back as much as possible. Also, I'm really craving churros now.

Yeah usually level 1 = dorm/budget option, level 2 = the mom who blows away everyone at the bake sale, level 3 = some technical skill required

Yes level three all make the food from scratch. That's the best food start from the beginning to end and patience 👌

yeah, rediwhip and sprinkles is a masterpiece.

Esther is great.

Swiss Miss ftw

With water

Add Reddi-Whip and Hot Damn Cinnamon Schnapps 😋😋

@@nicholaswafer8200 The kind with the extra marshmallows. ;)

Hot chocolate with chilli is not very common.

@@vandalosalvaje9957 , not very common but it is very traditional, but i am confused, i thought Champurrado and Chocolate Atole were the same thing...

i am surprised Stephen didn't ruin Hot Chocolate, the first thing he doesn't ruin

I know that you are joking, in México they use chili in everything

Can’t forget about the great Rose!!! 😂😂

oh cool. she makes almond milk from scratch? nice

moms are lvl 10 chef :D

Sometimes! 😬💤👍🏼😃

How about using carob?

Most people who are allergic to chocolate are allergic to the cocoa powder of the bean. You might want to check if you can have white chocolate, since white chocolate is made only from the cacao bean fat. It's not the same as chocolate, I know, but hot white chocolate is also very delicious. :) If you don't want to risk it, Sahlab - Egyptian hot vanilla - is also really good!

Making hot chocolate with Almond milk is amazing. Of course I don't make my own but still

Almond milk gives you nutty flavor. It works extremely well with chocolate.
