The Leidenfrost effect makes liquid nitrogen actually not that dangerous for skin contact as long as it’s not sitting there over time. It’d be better to accidentally splash your hand and barely feel it than to spill it on a glove or clothing it can soak into and stay in contact with your skin.
Was thinking the same thing. When we work with liquid nitrogen in the lab, some people actually pick things out with their bare fingers, although I wouldn't recommend that. On the other hand, we were taught that it is quite dangerous to be wearing jewellery like rings when working with liquid nitrogen. The metal cools down way quickly and if you can't get the ring off fast enough after an accident you might loose a finger.
Chemistry guy here! You use the separation funnel to separate two phases of liquids that dont mix, like oil (or organic solvents) and water, you wait for them to separate and then open the funnel to slowly let the bottom phase out, the shape helps to see when all the phase has passed and then you close it. In my lab we use liquid nitrogen for various things but when someone works with it and has a leftover we freeze snacks
Oooh super neat! I was wondering what it's usually used for and that makes a ton of sense. Also now that we've played with liquid nitrogen I can totally see how you would not want any to go to waste. What types of snacks do y'all like to freeze?
@@EvanandKatelynUncut well, generally something like chocolate-marshmallow cakes or cookies, I dont know what do you call them in the US. You can experiment with some
Idk if it's what you're talking about but you made me think of freezing krembo (the closest thing in the UK is called teacakes, I don't think they even have an equivalent in the US?) but it sounds absolutely amazing, 10/10 would try if I had access to krembo and liquid nitrogen
Seeing that separation funnel made me immediately think of NileRed, which is a TH-cam channel about Chemistry, and he has used that many times before in other videos. Now that I think of it, I'm surprised that he hasn't done dipping dots already (if he has, I haven't seen it). This is right up his alley!
If you do this again, make a basket to go in the dots flask of nitrogen. This will save you from pouring to strain your dots out AND prevent loss of liquid nitrogen.
@@carrioncrow8191they mean after they’ve been dropped into the liquid nitrogen. As in, to prevent having to pour the liquid nitrogen between containers in order to strain the dippin dots out
Instead of straining the dots from one beaker to the other like that, you should find a deep strainer to insert on the main beaker and just lift it once it's time to remove the dots (like a deep fryer). That way you don't loose as much liquid N. Not sure if the dots would stick to it tho
Do you mean that Dippin Dots diversified into the freezing of human heads and bodies with the intention of reanimation at a future date? Let's hope that none of their shipments get mixed up!
Dip n dots flavours : use plain ice cream base, and while heating the dairy can infuse different flavours (bubble tea with tea bags, Earl Grey) or mix it in at the end (hot sauce, chip flavours blended into a powder)
Oh! How about MatPat's final recommendation for help combatting the heat of hot wings? And turn THAT into a dipping dot? It would be even colder! Might work?
Todd Wilbur from Top Secret recipes did this year's ago when he had his TV show. The creator of DD told him the original method was to punch holes in the bottom of a Styrofoam cup and let it drip out into the nitrogen. He also hurt his tongue eating them too soon.
It's so nice to just put these uncut videos on while I draw or game. Like I'm hanging out with you guys haha Very relaxing. And this was especially fun! I remember going to the zoo as a kid and getting lime and lemon flavored Dippin' Dots. Nostalgia hit for real
I took a nap while listening to this video, and it kinda felt like dosing off in high school chemistry while your two friends keep working on your group project. But they're not mad or anything because they're enjoying the experiment and they know you need some rest.
I know you all were disappointed with the chunks but it’s a personal favorite when I get a good chunk of dip and dots stuck together so I say good work! 😂❤
Hola Y'all- Chemistry dude here. I'd recommend you use your magnetic stirrer and find a sieve that fits the deep flask you used to drop ice cream drops in. Less transfer of liquid nitrogen from container to container - keeping you safer and preserving the nitrogen. Also I think Katelyn is correct that some of the ice cream has trapped air in them causing them to float. You could test that by putting the melted ice cream in your vacuum container.
My Dad had created my favorite homemade ice cream back in the 90s... fresh banana ice cream with (and trust me here) grapenuts cereal. Due to the incredibly hard and crunchy texture of the cereal, it maintains a decent crunch once put into the ice cream. How would that fit into dippin' dots? Maybe blended into the banana base. I miss him. Those summer memories... thank you for leading me to the memories even if this isn't created. ❤
That legit sounds good. Mashing bananas, helps them to create their sweet flavor, even if the banana is still green. Cherish those memories! You should make it again in his honor
A separating funnel is generally used to let chemicals separate or have precipitate settle out and then you can very precisely pour off just the bottom layer. Can also be used as just a consistent dripping device for mixing things at a specific rate. I doubt any chemistry nerds would see anything wrong with using it this way. I’m sure plenty have tried it themselves.
It's a drippy funnel bottle! Just because it's really good at separating liquids doesn't mean it doesn't do a smashing job as a drippy funnel bottle. I'd only be upset about them putting ice cream in there if they had managed to already contaminate the funnel with something really not good for human consumption.
There are similar things to dippin dots, they are called "fruit pearls" made with fruit juice and sometimes frozen fruit chunks added, they are tasty and refreshing. Id imagine you can make them the same way as you did here.
Loved watching this as my first live of yours in Twitch yesterday. 😊 Flavor recommendation (not cursed): use freeze fried strawberry powder to flavor an ice cream base. Adds amazing strawberry flavor, without chunks or diluting the base. Blueberry freeze dried powder works good too, but the strawberry was amazing! (Works great to flavor plain yogurt or to add to smoothies too)
freeze dried fruit powder is amazing for icecream. A lot of fruits have a lot of water that makes using them for flavoring in icecream just become very crystal, hard to get the creamy texture. But freeze dried fruit powders are perfect, very strong flavors without messing with the water content.
if you guys do this again, maybe get one of those Japanese ramen strainers so you can lift things out of the liquid nitrogen without having to transfer containers.
Regarding the amount of air you sucked out of the banana ice cream , some manufacturers deliberately incorporate more air into their products to increase the volume. That's one of the reasons 'higher end' ice cream has a richer flavor and texture; there's less air pumping up the volume. It's also how soft-serve is able to flow out of the machine nozzle so easily and still hold its shape.
All ice cream will have a lot of air from the churning process, the texture of higher end ice creams tends to be from increased milk fat content where the cheaper ice creams tend to contain more milk skim and water. Some cheaper ice creams will also be churned faster which will whip in more air, but I've found the fat content is the main contributor to the creamy texture, and less so the aeration.
Love the idea of "Will it Dot"! You will need to cook the base with most flavors tho. There are the easier flavors like coffee, matcha, vanilla, root beer, etc that you can get extracts or concentrates for. Alcoholic flavors that you will need to cook off the alcohol/extra liquids. Nòn-liquids that will need to be blended , maybe cooked, and strained like Flaming Cheetos, bacon, Fruit Loops, or pickles.
The next ice cream experiment you do could be to make ice-cream using a cold stone/surface to scrape the freezing cream. Also, you all need to freeze dry things. It's not cheap, but could be very interesting. Freeze dried ramen rice krispie treats anyone? 😂
I used to work in a food testing lab. We would actually use liquid nitrogen to test fish tissue for PCBs, they were called "fishin' dots" Separatory Funnels are often used when you have liquids that have 'separated' in order to collect the layer that has what you want in it. This is commonly done when testing water samples in a lab using the EPA methods when testing for dioxins and furans. I was glad to see so many people in the comments mention the leidenfrost effect.
This was such a fun stream! Another possible use for Bill Nyetrogen is marshmallows (they get nice and crunchy), so I wonder if you could do s’mores Dippin’ Dots! Chocolate ice cream and somehow making graham cracker flavored ice cream? Then you could add the frozen mini marshmallows! I bet it would be delicious! 😋
I worked in a microbiology lab and we used to do that for colonies of cells. I worked with saccharomyces cerevisiae, the fungi that makes bread and beer. I concentrated the cells into a thick liquid, than did exactly what they did in this video. We stored these cells in -80 C (-112 F) freezers and it lasted for a long time
What I love e about this , is that there is a ton of people that have their own personal experiences, either doing this, or with “professional “ experience
Dark chocolate habenero Gelato. High fat, no air, spicy sweet. Throw in some finely diced candied peppers and freeze dry or liquid nitrogen freeze them. Hot and cold. Imagine how good that would be.
you can condense your own milk tea. Sweetened condensed milk is just a simple syrup with milk instead of water, if you start with a few teabags in the milk or a vanilla bean, or even a strawberry or banana puree that milk is added to then condensed.
Be careful of how high the temperature gets, if using real vanilla. Heat destroys the vast majority of the vanilla flavor. Don't quote me on this (I saw it on a TH-cam channel, but I can't remember which one now), but I think if the heat gets to 180° and higher, you might as well use artificial vanilla, but doing cold recipes, real vanilla is best. BTW, former barista from over 20+ years ago, and in their training (one of the last large bookstore chains left now, and has a VERY famous coffee shop brand with a green mermaid in every bookstore) they taught us to not have the temperature of the milk go above 140° when steaming the milk, because above that the milk has curdled and you have to toss it.
Please whatever you do don't tell my cats that idea. I'd be mobbed by all 3 of them. Oh wait that happens every afternoon for canned food. Never mind. I wonder if canned cat food could be worked in.
When you were vacuuming the melted ice cream I kept expecting Katelyn to say "Oh yum, forbidden goop." And then I remembered it's ice cream and you can actually eat it. Also, am I the only person who has never had Dippin Dots? I didn't know what they were (yes I am in the US and I've seen them, I've just never tried them).
I'm wondering if it was actually boiling at room temperature due to a near vacuum, which is something that King of Random covered (pre Nate). RIP Grant😢
The foamy melted ice cream is due to stabilisers in the ice cream recipe to help freeze the ice cream with less fat and less churning. Ice cream is a solid emulsion of milk, fats, sugar and air. Reducing the fat content but increasing the air content helps the soft texture in lower quality ice cream. The stabilisation also helps refreeze edges if any melting happens in transit. The foamy liquid refreezes close to ice cream texture without rechurning the mixture. Stabilisers can be egg protein in custard bases. Or guar and xanthum gum in milk bases.
Ideas, funnel cake, ice cream cone, coten candy, hot dog water and boba tea. Love the video, one of my favorite videos, other than the paranormal house one.
As a brit never knew what dippin dots were but i just realised we had ice lolly versions of these in britain, made by callipo i think, when i was a kid. There were my favourite, sadly discontinued iirc so i get the diy cravings fr rn.
Katelyn, I’m the same way with the dipping dots. I’ll get some at a theme park and I’ll let them melt for a couple minutes before I fully dig in. There’s that small window between frozen and melted that’s heaven in my mouth. 😂
Of course you. Because it's obvious that absolutely has to be called the Dippin Dots method. It should really be the official name too to be honest. I still kind of want to groan yet I'd most definitely call it that too.
Some of the scariest but funnest videos are when you two do things with edible things. I probably would not eat much of what you create not to be mean I just have a bad urp reaction to some things. The pink globs looks so much like the monsters in Sons of the Forest it is uncanny!
I remember that there were a couple dippin dots stalls in some of the malls in Virginia. I hope they’re still there. Also…. I’ll be that first person. Creamy balls. *brow raise.*
We had a d&d store in a mall in my hometown of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I only had them once and they were great, but quite expensive. They ended up being replaced by a phone accessories store, so even more expensive stuff, lol! I really want Dippin Dots now!
They were briefly in the coliseum mall back when it had a Montgomery Wards in the mid 90s, but the kiosk disappeared maybe a year or two later. Maybe they stayed popular in other places in the state 🤷
Evan saying "it's what's got to happen" while blowing into the serious science instrument wearing his official embroidered Science Robe and eyewear is iconic, go off king, don't let the naysayers get to you 😂
I've learned from a food scientist's youtube channel that ice cream actually has very small ice crystals and a lot of incorporated air because it isn't just left to freeze, it is churned while freezing to break up the forming ice crystals and incorporate said air, which gives it its creamy texture when eating it. When a liquid (like a fruit juice, for instance) is left to freeze in repose, it does indeed develop larger crystals and is essentially a massive chunk of frozen liquid, which is a popsicle and not an ice cream. Massive, in this context, refers to the density of the material and not its size. For reference, the channel I learned that on is How to Cook That, hosted by Mrs Ann Reardon.
In my country sweet condensed milk is eaten as a dessert with tea, very tasty. You can also spread it on bread (I don’t like it). And it is often used as a cream component for baked goods. If you boil it directly in the can (although it can explode), you will get something similar to toffee.
Or is the lazy man's way of getting a fudge or caramel (boiling the whole unopened can in a large pot of water for an extended amount of time, but you do need to watch it). This was the go to method for some of my dorm mates.
Crockpots for the win. Just stick a can in water into it & cook for hours. Then let it cool down for a long time like overnight before opening it. Or at least that's what I remember of the recipe I'd confirm things before trying it though. Just for the times & things. I recently found out about making your own sweetened condensed milk & now I want try making my own even though I haven't found a reason yet to do so.
This is making me want doce de leite dipping dots. I wonder if the thicker consistency of the sweetened condensed milk would make the dots come out different. I'd imagine you'd need to heat it up quite a bit to get it to be thin enough to get the dropper to flow well.
Fun news for those who don't already know: Dippin' Dots is now sold at 7-11 in its own little freezer! Not every single 7-11 sells them (because it's a franchised company) but if you really want some, and you don't want to spend amusement park prices to get them, check your local 7-11s 🤗
You can also use double wall normal drink thermoses (without the cover) as smaller temporary LN2 containers so you can handle and control it more easily.
You could probably make a milk-tea ice cream by steeping the tea directly into the cream/milk base instead of making it with water. I believe thats how they make like early grey ice cream! I seem to remember one of the things that made Dippin Dots hype when I was growing up was that they supposedly didn't melt but I also know that that wasn't true
At our lab we rarely used gloves with liquid nitrogen because it poses an even bigger risk - usually only use specific protective gear when transferring large quantities. Small splashes were generally fine!
Potentially cursed dipping dots: Avocado boba tea, key lime pie and/or frozen lemonade milkshake [from a Christian fast food chicken restaurant chain] (but only after trying hot wings, see Food Theory, The Last Bite; Stephanie says that, "colder is always better," at 18:27 mark. So how about testing an even colder ice cream?), and Cold Sweat ice cream as a dipping dot (see Food Theory show mentioned earlier, from Angier, North Carolina). Most people don't like this, but I do (and might be a southern thing), and it's canned pear halves with mayo filling the center, with shredded cheddar cheese on top, maybe turn that into a dipping dot?
I think Key lime pie & lemonade would probably be fairly good. The rest well yes as long as it's them making it & trying it. Could make a great video. Especially pickle juice. I'd probably try that because I like pickles.
My votes for Does it Dippin Dot: hot chocolate (cooled, obviously) Milk with different flavourings- you could steep teabags into milks, or mix in any kind of syrup Cursed ones: (mostly stolen from twitch chat) salad dressings, hot sauce, bbq sauce? if that would freeze properly, and same with ketchup. figuring out a way to incorporate mushed fruit would cool as well.
As a retry for the banana split dippin dots, I recommend the whipping cream/condensed milk combo with nesquik mix, they make all three flavors needed. It would definitely taste more artificial, but it would be an easy way to do this without having to melt ice cream May I also recommend cheeto or taki dust ice cream? It would be very bad but it would be up your alley
The Ice cream base I usually use for homemade icecream is just milk and heavy whipping cream :D It works really well for homemade black raspberry (we pick wild blackberries to add to it). Hope this helps!
We have a Round 1 in my neck of the woods, and they have a dippin dots vending machine. I just noticed it yesterday. Then got a notification of this stream...
The no churn ice cream is better if you add egg yokes to it. I heat up the sweetened condensed milk with a couple of egg yokes, let it cool and then mix it with the whipped cream. I mix mine with cardamom, walnuts and maple syrup.
Dippin dots are made using almost no milk that's why they have such a smooth texture because of the relatively low water content vs regularly churned ice cream
I loved this so much. I admit I cringed every time Evan tapped the metal against the glass! I have had more than one glass shatter, or chip the edge. I can almost hear my home-ec teacher from 7th grade screaming across the room “WHO’S CHIPPING THE GLASSWARE?!?!” Whenever that ting of metal against glass rang out in the class.
And now I feel the need to get a Dewar and make some home made ice cream. And as for the separatory funnel, they can be used for pretty much exactly how you used them for those times when a dropping funnel isn't available or just to far away to be bothered with. Would be interested in seeing how this simple ice cream base pairs with a bit of vanilla extract or chocolate syrup or maybe even some blended fruits to bring a bit more flavor to the mix.
@@louisejohnson6057 at this point in the internet "lol" doesnt actually mean the person finds that funny, it's just a textual indicator that a message isn't as serious or condescending as the raw text without said lol might sound. it's like a more widespread tone indicator
Watching this live, I was so, so impressed by the complete lack of research into how ice cream is made. Like, I could never, would be too many unknowns. Wish I was able to go into projects half-blind too.
Id love to see how similar to Creamy Creations’ Java Chocolate Chunk ice cream OR the bottled Starbucks Frappuccinos you can get with dipping dots I don’t know how accurately I’m remembering this fun fact because the last time I hear it was YEARS ago but I heard that store bought ice cream can be up to 50% ( or more) AIR by weight! 🍨 you do need some air to give it the ice cream texture we all know, but companies pack in WAY more air than they need to so they can cut costs…
They haven't had condensed milk? we use that so much here in SEA. We mix it with coffee (Viet coffee), mix with all purpose cream for Graham & Mango Float, make ice cream with avocados, drizzle in deserts, sometimes we mix it in our Filipino Spaghetti.
It might just be a location/culture thing. I live in the same area as them, and we do have condensed milk, but I've probably had it once in my 40 years, and only really see it required in specific recipes. 😊
All eastern Europe swear by sweetened condensed milk. We drink it with coffee, we drizzle it on pancakes, my dad eat it just as it is. I suppose that it is not that good in the US either. The product is not so popular. Even in our countries not all brands are equally good.
As a 32 year old Australian woman, l just had dippin dots for the first time ever when I found them at my local petrol station. Life changed for the better
A magnetic stirrer would really help with keeping the LN2 in motion. I think the drops would form best the higher they drop from, so they go deep into the LN2 when they fall. As for flavors, try all sorts of things like miso soup, chocolate milk, eggnog, grape juice, sweet tea, various soda, maybe some of those complete-meal drinks? So much fun!
2:54 "You don't want to get those little drops on your hand" Those drops will just roll right off your hand and the Leidenfrost effect will prevent it from doing anything to you unless you get it trapped in some clothes that you're wearing.

Came down here to comment this. Any kind of absorbent clothing is worse than bare skin. Gloves can make you end up with a far worse injury.
Or get into the glove and be trapped with your hand if the glove itself is not absorbant.
Evan actually ended up mentioning this all just not by name. But it must have come up in their research.
Was thinking the same thing. When we work with liquid nitrogen in the lab, some people actually pick things out with their bare fingers, although I wouldn't recommend that. On the other hand, we were taught that it is quite dangerous to be wearing jewellery like rings when working with liquid nitrogen.

Separatory Funnels are often used when you have liquids that have 'separated' in order to collect the layer that has what you want in it. This is commonly done when testing water samples in a lab using the EPA methods when testing for dioxins and furans.
I was glad to see so many people in the comments mention the leidenfrost effect.
FISHIN DOTS!!!!! 😂
I'm so happy there's a frozen yogurt place down the road that sells legitimate Dippin' Dots. No zoo or amusement park required, AND it's cheaper!
This was such a fun stream! Another possible use for Bill Nyetrogen is marshmallows (they get nice and crunchy), so I wonder if you could do s’mores Dippin’ Dots! Chocolate ice cream and somehow making graham cracker flavored ice cream? Then you could add the frozen mini marshmallows! I bet it would be delicious! 😋
🤦 Bill Nyetrogen. The PUN! AAAA!!!!😂😂😂 It's so bad, but so good! (I only saw this video, and didn't know the reason for Bill's name.)
You guys have no idea how much I needed an E&K video today ❤
I worked in a microbiology lab and we used to do that for colonies of cells. I worked with saccharomyces cerevisiae, the fungi that makes bread and beer. I concentrated the cells into a thick liquid, than did exactly what they did in this video. We stored these cells in -80 C (-112 F) freezers and it lasted for a long time
I work in cancer research and we store our cell lines under nitrogen.
What I love e about this , is that there is a ton of people that have their own personal experiences, either doing this, or with “professional “ experience
Dark chocolate habenero Gelato. High fat, no air, spicy sweet. Throw in some finely diced candied peppers and freeze dry or liquid nitrogen freeze them. Hot and cold. Imagine how good that would be.
you can condense your own milk tea. Sweetened condensed milk is just a simple syrup with milk instead of water, if you start with a few teabags in the milk or a vanilla bean, or even a strawberry or banana puree that milk is added to then condensed.
Be careful of how high the temperature gets, if using real vanilla. Heat destroys the vast majority of the vanilla flavor. Don't quote me on this (I saw it on a TH-cam channel, but I can't remember which one now), but I think if the heat gets to 180° and higher, you might as well use artificial vanilla, but doing cold recipes, real vanilla is best.
BTW, former barista from over 20+ years ago, and in their training (one of the last large bookstore chains left now, and has a VERY famous coffee shop brand with a green mermaid in every bookstore) they taught us to not have the temperature of the milk go above 140° when steaming the milk, because above that the milk has curdled and you have to toss it.
I feel like a cookies and cream flavour would be delicious. Basic but classic
Imagine having a tuna-flavored ice cream, Joob probably would be happy to see that! (if it's safe to eat these for her ofc!)
Please whatever you do don't tell my cats that idea. I'd be mobbed by all 3 of them.
Oh wait that happens every afternoon for canned food. Never mind.
I wonder if canned cat food could be worked in.
When you were vacuuming the melted ice cream I kept expecting Katelyn to say "Oh yum, forbidden goop." And then I remembered it's ice cream and you can actually eat it. Also, am I the only person who has never had Dippin Dots? I didn't know what they were (yes I am in the US and I've seen them, I've just never tried them).
I'm wondering if it was actually boiling at room temperature due to a near vacuum, which is something that King of Random covered (pre Nate). RIP Grant😢
I love how Evan pulls out the packet of dippin' dots from the cooler instead of the empty one on the table to read the ingredients list xD
The foamy melted ice cream is due to stabilisers in the ice cream recipe to help freeze the ice cream with less fat and less churning. Ice cream is a solid emulsion of milk, fats, sugar and air. Reducing the fat content but increasing the air content helps the soft texture in lower quality ice cream. The stabilisation also helps refreeze edges if any melting happens in transit. The foamy liquid refreezes close to ice cream texture without rechurning the mixture. Stabilisers can be egg protein in custard bases. Or guar and xanthum gum in milk bases.
Ideas, funnel cake, ice cream cone, coten candy, hot dog water and boba tea. Love the video, one of my favorite videos, other than the paranormal house one.
ORANGE JULIUS! Blend in blender:Ingredients
6 oz. (half a can) frozen orange juice concentrate
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Omg I didn't realize you could order a bulk bag of dippndots I'm so excited now for my weekend plans
As a brit never knew what dippin dots were but i just realised we had ice lolly versions of these in britain, made by callipo i think, when i was a kid. There were my favourite, sadly discontinued iirc so i get the diy cravings fr rn.
We had them in Germany too I miss them sm but I think they are really different than the dippin dots
Callipo shots were my absolute favourite as a kid, I miss them so much
We've got a fruit version. Can't remember the brand though but they're good
Kert, the original maker of Dippin Dots, he used a Styrofoam cup with holes on the bottom, and made the perfect dots.
Katelyn, I’m the same way with the dipping dots. I’ll get some at a theme park and I’ll let them melt for a couple minutes before I fully dig in. There’s that small window between frozen and melted that’s heaven in my mouth. 😂
I used to work in a lab where we would freeze cells for storage by dropping them in liquid nitrogen. We called it the “Dippin Dot method”
Of course you.
Because it's obvious that absolutely has to be called the Dippin Dots method.
It should really be the official name too to be honest.
I still kind of want to groan yet I'd most definitely call it that too.
You should try peach melba! It’s usually vanilla ice cream with peaches and raspberry sauce.
I live in Australia and I've never had dippin dots before, I'd have no idea where to even find them, but now I'm craving them hahah
Some of the scariest but funnest videos are when you two do things with edible things. I probably would not eat much of what you create not to be mean I just have a bad urp reaction to some things. The pink globs looks so much like the monsters in Sons of the Forest it is uncanny!
Serving early 2000’s movie theater realness
I know a movie theater in my town that still has a Dippin’ Dots dispenser! It’s like $6 for a tiny bowl/pack.
I remember that there were a couple dippin dots stalls in some of the malls in Virginia. I hope they’re still there.
Also…. I’ll be that first person. Creamy balls. *brow raise.*
We had a d&d store in a mall in my hometown of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I only had them once and they were great, but quite expensive. They ended up being replaced by a phone accessories store, so even more expensive stuff, lol! I really want Dippin Dots now!
They are in some of the malls in VA. They can also be found in wawas in VA too. Been to several and seen dippin dots sold there
They were briefly in the coliseum mall back when it had a Montgomery Wards in the mid 90s, but the kiosk disappeared maybe a year or two later. Maybe they stayed popular in other places in the state 🤷
They’re in most of the malls and gas stations around where I live in VA
Evan saying "it's what's got to happen" while blowing into the serious science instrument wearing his official embroidered Science Robe and eyewear is iconic, go off king, don't let the naysayers get to you 😂
The movie theater down the street from me has dippin dots.. definitly haven't been there multiple times solely for the dots and no movie... 😂😂
I've learned from a food scientist's youtube channel that ice cream actually has very small ice crystals and a lot of incorporated air because it isn't just left to freeze, it is churned while freezing to break up the forming ice crystals and incorporate said air, which gives it its creamy texture when eating it. When a liquid (like a fruit juice, for instance) is left to freeze in repose, it does indeed develop larger crystals and is essentially a massive chunk of frozen liquid, which is a popsicle and not an ice cream. Massive, in this context, refers to the density of the material and not its size.
For reference, the channel I learned that on is How to Cook That, hosted by Mrs Ann Reardon.
The last time I saw Dippin' Dots was at a visit to the zoo years ago. I used to buy them at the mall as a teen all the time!
Watching your videos has taught me a lot about healthy communication. Thank you for that!
In my country sweet condensed milk is eaten as a dessert with tea, very tasty. You can also spread it on bread (I don’t like it). And it is often used as a cream component for baked goods.
If you boil it directly in the can (although it can explode), you will get something similar to toffee.
Or is the lazy man's way of getting a fudge or caramel (boiling the whole unopened can in a large pot of water for an extended amount of time, but you do need to watch it). This was the go to method for some of my dorm mates.
Crockpots for the win. Just stick a can in water into it & cook for hours. Then let it cool down for a long time like overnight before opening it.
Or at least that's what I remember of the recipe I'd confirm things before trying it though. Just for the times & things.
I recently found out about making your own sweetened condensed milk & now I want try making my own even though I haven't found a reason yet to do so.
This is making me want doce de leite dipping dots. I wonder if the thicker consistency of the sweetened condensed milk would make the dots come out different. I'd imagine you'd need to heat it up quite a bit to get it to be thin enough to get the dropper to flow well.
I've never come across this channel before. Seems very kid friendly without all the bells and whistles!
Fun news for those who don't already know: Dippin' Dots is now sold at 7-11 in its own little freezer! Not every single 7-11 sells them (because it's a franchised company) but if you really want some, and you don't want to spend amusement park prices to get them, check your local 7-11s 🤗
You can also use double wall normal drink thermoses (without the cover) as smaller temporary LN2 containers so you can handle and control it more easily.
Vote Vote! pineapple, watermelon, apple, lemonade, Dragon Fruit, Aloe Vera, coconut, lychee, Grapes, charry, water Dippin' Dot with the ice cream, Vote Vote I want them all!
I vote watermelon might be hard but yes, apple, lemonade, dragon fruit, aloe vera, coconut, lychee, cherry, grape. Good ideas.
As an organic chemistry student I was STOKED about the separatory funnel, lool. Love the video as always! ❤
You could probably make a milk-tea ice cream by steeping the tea directly into the cream/milk base instead of making it with water. I believe thats how they make like early grey ice cream! I seem to remember one of the things that made Dippin Dots hype when I was growing up was that they supposedly didn't melt but I also know that that wasn't true
Just like "M&M's melt in your mouth, not in your hand." (and I still wonder why there's an apostrophe in M&M's.)
At our lab we rarely used gloves with liquid nitrogen because it poses an even bigger risk - usually only use specific protective gear when transferring large quantities. Small splashes were generally fine!
ideas for cursed dippin' dots - hot chetto, pickle, rice crispy, ketchup, mustard, ranch, sriracha
Potentially cursed dipping dots:
Avocado boba tea, key lime pie and/or frozen lemonade milkshake [from a Christian fast food chicken restaurant chain] (but only after trying hot wings, see Food Theory, The Last Bite; Stephanie says that, "colder is always better," at 18:27 mark. So how about testing an even colder ice cream?), and Cold Sweat ice cream as a dipping dot (see Food Theory show mentioned earlier, from Angier, North Carolina).
Most people don't like this, but I do (and might be a southern thing), and it's canned pear halves with mayo filling the center, with shredded cheddar cheese on top, maybe turn that into a dipping dot?
I think Key lime pie & lemonade would probably be fairly good.
The rest well yes as long as it's them making it & trying it. Could make a great video. Especially pickle juice. I'd probably try that because I like pickles.
I don't know what it is about your video's but I keep falling asleep while watching them! I guess you guys are just soothing!
My votes for Does it Dippin Dot:
hot chocolate (cooled, obviously)
Milk with different flavourings- you could steep teabags into milks, or mix in any kind of syrup
Cursed ones: (mostly stolen from twitch chat) salad dressings, hot sauce, bbq sauce? if that would freeze properly, and same with ketchup.
figuring out a way to incorporate mushed fruit would cool as well.
As a retry for the banana split dippin dots, I recommend the whipping cream/condensed milk combo with nesquik mix, they make all three flavors needed. It would definitely taste more artificial, but it would be an easy way to do this without having to melt ice cream
May I also recommend cheeto or taki dust ice cream? It would be very bad but it would be up your alley
It’s katelyn’s excuse for ice cream and Evan’ s excuse for a fun toy 😂
Appreciation for immediately explaining what Dippin Dots are for us international people.
Fact: Banana Split dippin dots are in fact the best ones.
The Ice cream base I usually use for homemade icecream is just milk and heavy whipping cream :D It works really well for homemade black raspberry (we pick wild blackberries to add to it). Hope this helps!
Taro flavored dipping dots!
I just want to commend you on staying serious and NOT giggling at every potentially inappropriate statement 😂
Remember, they're NOT that kind of channel!
Idk what you were watching because E&K were giggling through the whole thing lol 😂
17:55 once you see it you can't unsee it
We have a Round 1 in my neck of the woods, and they have a dippin dots vending machine. I just noticed it yesterday. Then got a notification of this stream...
Cursed flavor: caviar
30:29 ngl that’s the only asmr I’ve ever enjoyed 😂 sounds like a nice rain experience 🌧️
1:02 $150???? They’re $3 at my gas station & mall
The no churn ice cream is better if you add egg yokes to it. I heat up the sweetened condensed milk with a couple of egg yokes, let it cool and then mix it with the whipped cream. I mix mine with cardamom, walnuts and maple syrup.
New series: will it dippin dot
Dippin dots are made using almost no milk that's why they have such a smooth texture because of the relatively low water content vs regularly churned ice cream
You guys are my favorite TH-camrs!!!!
I was quite literally just talking about how much I missed dip n dots! Can’t wait to watch this 😍
1:09 - 1:12 why was that part muted?
no idea, it seems the muted words were just "the ingredients", maybe the mic just cut out for a second
I loved this so much. I admit I cringed every time Evan tapped the metal against the glass! I have had more than one glass shatter, or chip the edge. I can almost hear my home-ec teacher from 7th grade screaming across the room “WHO’S CHIPPING THE GLASSWARE?!?!” Whenever that ting of metal against glass rang out in the class.
Why does the liquid nitrogen container make me think of Mr. Egghead? The Sonic villain?
And now I feel the need to get a Dewar and make some home made ice cream. And as for the separatory funnel, they can be used for pretty much exactly how you used them for those times when a dropping funnel isn't available or just to far away to be bothered with. Would be interested in seeing how this simple ice cream base pairs with a bit of vanilla extract or chocolate syrup or maybe even some blended fruits to bring a bit more flavor to the mix.
lol our walmart sells dip n dots. did you guys check yours before having some shipped?
I hope they checked but I also don't know if they would have made this diy if they were easier get so selfishly I'm glad they were so expensive
Mine does, but it’s a weird knockoff sherbet brand. Is that what you have too?
Why the "lol"? I don't get it.
@@louisejohnson6057 at this point in the internet "lol" doesnt actually mean the person finds that funny, it's just a textual indicator that a message isn't as serious or condescending as the raw text without said lol might sound. it's like a more widespread tone indicator
We have a local gas station in rural WV with dippin dots in it 😂
Watching this live, I was so, so impressed by the complete lack of research into how ice cream is made. Like, I could never, would be too many unknowns. Wish I was able to go into projects half-blind too.
where i live you can buy dip n dots at gas stations and its like maybe 2 or 3 bucks
I have found them at some gas stations too.
steep the tea bags straight into heaving whipping cream and then use it in the homemade ice cream base to get milk tea!
Dippin' Globs! My favorite!
And the name is so enticing too!
I got myself ice cream, went to my computer, and saw this video. So I'm eating ice cream while watching this. 😂😂 Love your videos, y'all! ❤
Id love to see how similar to Creamy Creations’ Java Chocolate Chunk ice cream OR the bottled Starbucks Frappuccinos you can get with dipping dots
I don’t know how accurately I’m remembering this fun fact because the last time I hear it was YEARS ago but I heard that store bought ice cream can be up to 50% ( or more) AIR by weight! 🍨 you do need some air to give it the ice cream texture we all know, but companies pack in WAY more air than they need to so they can cut costs…
I love the improvised dewars flasks.
They haven't had condensed milk? we use that so much here in SEA. We mix it with coffee (Viet coffee), mix with all purpose cream for Graham & Mango Float, make ice cream with avocados, drizzle in deserts, sometimes we mix it in our Filipino Spaghetti.
It might just be a location/culture thing. I live in the same area as them, and we do have condensed milk, but I've probably had it once in my 40 years, and only really see it required in specific recipes. 😊
@@zephiel70 that’s interesting if I have the chance to make something for ya’ll to try, I would!
All eastern Europe swear by sweetened condensed milk. We drink it with coffee, we drizzle it on pancakes, my dad eat it just as it is. I suppose that it is not that good in the US either. The product is not so popular. Even in our countries not all brands are equally good.
@@ДарьяВолкова-ш4ш couldn’t agree more!!! Not all brands are good. Carnation is my fav ☺️☺️☺️
@@mycapokoko That'd be exceptionally sweet (haha!) of you!

Flamin hot Cheeto dippin dots?
TH-cam is offering to translate this comment to English. That’s valid
As a 32 year old Australian woman, l just had dippin dots for the first time ever when I found them at my local petrol station. Life changed for the better
I miss dippn' dots
A magnetic stirrer would really help with keeping the LN2 in motion. I think the drops would form best the higher they drop from, so they go deep into the LN2 when they fall.
As for flavors, try all sorts of things like miso soup, chocolate milk, eggnog, grape juice, sweet tea, various soda, maybe some of those complete-meal drinks? So much fun!
And Sriracha!!!
2:54 "You don't want to get those little drops on your hand"
Those drops will just roll right off your hand and the Leidenfrost effect will prevent it from doing anything to you unless you get it trapped in some clothes that you're wearing.
