Can I put 'pop rocks'...

tan319 · October 14, 2003

Just wondering about the feasibility, this is for a halloween party my daughter has been invited to.

Guess who's doing dessert for it? :biggrin:

I dunno, wouldnt the torch end up melting them?

Candy Corn with chocolate chips in a brulee might be cool though. Maybe use some orange food coloring in the custard too.

That would look so much like vomit brulee it wouldn't be funny, unless you were a kid, in which case it would be hilarious.

Yes, that was my line of thinking.

chefette · October 15, 2003

If I was one of those kids I would be thinking, why can't you keep you creamy bruley to youselves and just give us the candy.

I think that the pop rocks only works out if mixed in just before serving since they start popping away as soon as they hit moisture.

I agree. Too wet. I wonder if they'd pop on cut marshmallows. Or is you could somehow get it to stick to popcorn.

I would just make a regular plain creme brulee and serve it with a thick layer of pop rocks spread evenly on top instead of burning it with sugar, that way the pop rocks still pop and you still have the custard bottom. Just thinking about it is making my teeth hurt.

Jason Perlow · October 15, 2003

What happens if you blowtorch a layer of pop rocks? Will it melt into a pop rock crust? Will the sizzle part still work?

Kitty Litter Cake Recipe

It's a cake that looks like a USED kitty litter box. Brilliant execution of a truly bent idea!

herbacidal · October 15, 2003

that is pretty cool, katie.

KatieLoeb · October 15, 2003

that is pretty cool, katie.

Thanks Herb.

Coming from you, I'll consider that high praise :cool:

Don't EVER feed me. :biggrin:

Actually, I had a great meal at "Les Magnolias" in Le Perreux sur Marne outside of Paris. He was compared by Patricia Wells as being similar in what he is doing now, to what Gagnaire was doing in the '80's . One of his starters had pop-rocks in it, but pop rocks in it's pure form, without flavor, just the exploding sensation. Can't remember the rest of the dish, but here's the site: Les Magnolias

I can't wait for my kids to be older so that I can make this cake for a Halloween party. Oh my, that is classic.

Thanks Katie.

Maybe you could put Pop Rocks in the Kitty Litter cake. When they start popping in the kids' mouths, you can say that the kitty had worms and the pop rocks are live worms that came through in the poop.

If you're going to be disgusting, why not go all out?

now that is creativity!

that's why i am addicted to egullet

Yes you can, and I've eaten it at Le Champignon Sauvage and described the sensation in this article. However, I don't know exactly how the effect was achieved, only that the candy was incorporated in the brulee layer.

tan319 · October 15, 2003

Re:

Vomit looking creme brulee.

That's sounds like something the kids would like.

I had a suggestion to make it "booger-ish".

I like the idea of spinkling it with the 'rocks though.

Thank's for all the input.

chefette · October 15, 2003

Maybe a wild mix of orange, purple, green, red jellos cut into cubes and sprinkled with pop rocks would be tasty, amusing, and palatable.

Chocolate creme brulee with candy corn garnishes

Don't forget to bob for apples

Fascinating.
