Food Wishes Recipes - Chocolate Egg Cream - New York's Famous Chocolate Egg Cream Drink Recipe

[pinoy7tfc]

good ole' days...when men wore hats.....and women couldnt vote xDDD

[JulieTran102]

OMG my mom wuld make these for me ALL THE TIME except it was lime flavored, she added vanilla extract and whipped cream lol XD

[ShatterEffectt]

they used to put eggs in this and it was like whipped

[martincooper06]

what water did he used?

[kellsterree]

@martincooper06 he used seltzer water

[KeithWasHere1]

so chocolate milk with bubbles.hmph!..and they make you pay what? $4.95-$6.00 for it?

[KeithWasHere1]

hmmm reminds me of a Orange Julius (ohhhh so freaking good!)...so why no add an egg and whip it up? provided the eggs used are safe?..(i heard they irradiate them to kill bacteria.)

[venombeyond]

@KeithWasHere1 There is a place by me, that makes them still, it's only $1.50 for a Large, and to buy all the stuff yourself to make easily 10-15 total glasses at home? maybe 5 dollars. So, no, not that expensive.

[KeithWasHere1]

can the cold milk be substituted for cold heavy whipping cream? ya know thicken it up add some richness.

[dgillespie13]

We need to get you down to Alabama so we can teach you how to add a syllable to the way you pronounce syrup. Looks tasty.

[VictoryFire88]

I had one where they used ice cream instead of milk. Nomnomnom if you live in Southern Florida visit the Itlaian Ice King on Hollywoid beach. Stay away from a guy name ray if you are a 16+ female. He's a pervert. Lol

[earthtojohn]

Sorry folks, WRONG!!!! First pour in the milk or half and half then the seltzer. It will foam like mad. Gently drizzle the chocolate syrup down the inside of the tilted glass. With a long spoon stir the chocolate so that it mixes without disturbing the white foam. That is an Egg Cream!!! Poor deranged Mid-west foody

[CheesyYellowCrumbles]

@earthtojohn No ones gives a shit this isn't Howcast -.-

[michelle13579123]

@earthtojohn there are many ways to make chocolate egg cream. Just like there are thousands of ways to cook anything. The most important thing is: Will the customer/veiwer enjoy it? Don't be so self centered.

[SmashedSkullOfficial]

i didn't like it :S

[rayrayrex]

@ilikepancakes555 RANDOM HAPPINESS! :D

[stankynose]

I bet it had no chocolate taste in it at all, it's like you're drinking a cold ass cup of lemonade jajajaj

[Bartekdex]

I'm asking: Where's cayenne ?!

[Davertude]

you know, chef john, fox's u-bet is only the original recipe with sugar during passover! best to stock up in the spring! otherwise they use disgusting corn syrup. (this happens with coke too)... so anyway didn't you make a cool chocolate syrup recipe? I'm going to have to look...

[MasSergioVEVO]

choclate milk with seltzer water. :|

[wrathofcell]

women can vote now????

[malcomjohn1997]

cream in milk

[ColoredGrayscale]

Oh god, my diet!

[Canonpedua12]

surrrp

[bedcrash]

at first i thought u put egg in it, which kinda gross.after watching the video,i'm craving for it,at 3 am..

[LuisPenseQue]

I guess ironic advert for insulin on the side.

[vivascargill1]

always use u-bet and vanilla u-bet works also the vanilla egg cream

[adrainville]

So many different versions of this. There's no way to tell what the original was like. Most of the recipes that I heard, though, say the head has to be white, so the seltzer is added before the chocolate syrup is mixed into the milk (under the foam) so the drink is brown but the head is snow-white.

[Ryukishin115]

From like.. REALLY old TV shows.. I think SODA was known as "Egg cream" WAYY back then o.o. Thanks for the video, Master Chef John :).

[porp109]

I live in Brooklyn, and I never saw U-bet...

[IFknHateUTube]

soo i wntaeed to make tehis but changed it so  its like a coctial.. I rplaced the syrup with chocoltae liquer and replced seltzer wwatr with vodka it was pretty fuckken good lol u shhould tryi t :D

[funnyguyindahouse]

add ice cream!

[augustflower1]

Chef john, you are the best. I JUST made this (like, 10 seconds ago) and tasted it for the first time. It is SOO good. <3 This is what made me subscribe to you.

[subz3ro2]

i really like your videos chef john. i've tried this recipe though and it wasn't all that good :) pretty special for my taste

[ChiefSuperdrew]

I Subrcribed

[AliceValium]

What kind of camera do you use? It's really nice - you can see the details perfectly!

[3bood93]

Men wore hats women can't vote ahh good times good times.

[GustavKunoe]

Chocolate SURRP

[AetherSingularity]

DO NOT USE CLUB SODA!

Get a mineral water that doesn't tastes too salty or acid per say.

[MonsterBuddy10]

@AetherSingularity hahahahahahaha you said per say!

[nickrockz619]

could I use Sprite?

[ProtoGenocid]

@nickrockz619 Yeah I've done it before but it is better imo with Seltzer water, plus it's cheaper. Now it is really fun ordering sprite with chocolate syrup at resturants xD

[nls8520]

@nickrockz619 No way that would ruin it.

[traceycrosss]

Can I buy that syrup in the uk? What does it taste like so I know what to look for as I'd really like to make this. It looks amazing plus it's guilt free!!!! Great video buy the way.

[TehAntt]

That is my egg cream :)

[imBrendaUng]

can I do it with normal water ? cause I dont have seltzer water.

[marlondx23]

thanks man i really enjoyed after i finish making it!!!!

[PinkFloydrulez]

MAKING THIS TONIGHT

[toxicpizza12]

I can see the "molcajete" on the background, =)

[DancingFlameDragon]

I think a "true" egg cream has white foam, but I also prefer to make them with chocolate foam like in this video (some New Yorker I am...). One suggestion, though, it's more fun and tasty to drink these without the straw so you drink the foam as well XD

[cindysfromnj]

I made this just now - except used Cream Soda instead of seltzer water. GODLY.

[devildogsrule101st]

i cnt do it i tryed it 100 times plz help

[baritonebynight]

He does a better job with this than he does with Jerimiah Tower's chicken that he thinks is Julia Childs'

[misterpink95]

i made this and it tastes really bad

[andremch]

@misterpink95 Same here =(

[YoungDutchSilk]

:15 - :20 caught me off guard an made me LMAO.

[AskeDunk]

this seems gross. I don't want carbon oxide in my chocolate drink :(

That is like making a milk soda.

I have not tasted this though.

[GuruBabadesh]

surrp lmao

[KevNgu]

women can vote now??

[rsdewd]

@KevNgu not where i live.

[KMCarroll89]

difference between club soda and seltzer water is that club soda has salt in it, where as seltzer is just plain old carbonated water

[TheMythey]

45 chocolate milkshakes disliked this video.

[andoykids]

45 people actually put an egg in this drink!

[sgpquek]

Yes bendy straw, one of sarah palin must haves

[anteracmacash]

sounds disgusting

[deedevinebrake]

Well, this is delicious and your right without all the calories of ice cream floats. Excellent, I hope everyone tries it.

[Kahrash]

Very Delicious.

[Dreamingallyear]

Yo, Can i stir it with my dick?

[Missyplaymate3]

[MackanJ2]

[bloodyxpirates75]

[seedofageneration]

Chef John... Love your post. Was wandering if you could post some more drink recipes (non alcohol). Tired of buying juice from store all the time. Maybe a homemade fruit punch or other drink. Thanks

[eagleBURST]

@seedofageneration get the frozen minute maid juice type things from the supermarket and mix it with 7up or sprite instead of water, tastes freakin awesome

[shizukumaru]

[XxcupcakemonzterxX]

[IronAndSteelTilDeath]

My friends and I call chocolate egg nog, "Nignog".

[adre420]

[moneydude1323]

@adre420 if Chef John says it is good it is always good

[MortenFS95]

i like your intro, but i miss seeing someone making it,, ofc you show how, but you dont rely show yourself. makes the show more cozy

[sk8boarder125]

LOL nice intro man. Back when women could nt vote

[kittame]

OMG ridiculously easy!!!! :)

[XXSharpSHOOTAX]

I love how the music stops and it gets really awkward when he says "and women couldn't vote..."

[Lisergishnu]

At this moment drinking one... can't say its tasteful but still refreshing. At least i've got my straw right :D

[emp3rorliu]

lol ".. and women couldn't vote". those were the days, weren't they!? jk.. probably no one here lived through those days

[KungFuDragen]

[Clumzo7278]

@KungFuDragen lazy................

[Killerrayzz]

[firedragonflyer]

I need Club soda

[agnesdeque]

J'adore ,qu'est ce que ça doit être bon!!!! A votre santé!

[GothChilde6969]

I thought it tasted good, you all probably used inferior chocolate syrup. or can't measure. get some glasses.

[patrickbateman00]

It finished up pretty quickly =/

[1337NoFear1337]

yeah Looked really good but didn't taste good at all:( I rather drink club soda on it's own:( :(

[AndreaHatesHerName]

this looked so good and i was so excited for something that was supposed to be just as good as a milkshake with a fraction of the calories but I tried it and thought it was just kinda boring..

it didnt taste particularly bad but not good either

[dimitriuss]

what about tonic water insted

[JoyeuseXI]

@dimitriuss Tonic water is really bitter and nasty.

[TerraGamerX]

Holy shit how did I not know about this? I who eats and drinks chocolate at every meal?

This reminds me of that Chocolate Soldier drink that hasn't been around since my childhood...

[INGc3z4r]

@TerraGamerX That's the first thing I thought when I made it

[TheRANDOMKid9]

You shoud make a resturant chef john!

[jundidididi]

@TheRANDOMKid9 yeah he should and name his restaurant food porn wishes

[cellopwns]

i wants one! :(

[LondonFalling]

Can I substitute soy milk for milk? Or will it not come out the same?

[Jayfoxpox]

@LondonFalling

no because it will have that soy taste lol.

[rhettnyedotorg]

I PREFER MINE WIF SYRP

[WhatsGoodify]

chocolate and soda? yuck 

[XBOXMANOR360]

@WhatsGoodify you obviously have never had a chocolate soda

[keyoffate]

@WhatsGoodify dont bash it til u try it my friend

[rocksage2]

@WhatsGoodify

have you ever eaten a ton of chocolate and then became thirsty, so you drank some water?

that's sorta what it tastes like.

[de3e]

whats yummier is an awesome spider! chocolate, vanilla or strawberry ice cream mixed with coke, mountain dew or creaming soda. YUMMMMAYYY.

[NarutoDx1]

Wow I stopped watching these videos for a while, and wow I'm glad I started again because this is great.

[Furor911]

its ok, not the best drink.

[musefeverfever]

So mostly seltzer water and a little bit of chocolate syrup/milk?................o_O idk about this one.

[llollercoaster]

@musefeverfever Idk man, wtf is a rootbeer float...

[Volundarkvioa]

@llollercoaster It's root beer soda with a scoop of vanilla ice cream placed in with it. Gives it a much cooler, and rich flavor.

[llollercoaster]

@Volundarkvioa No, you see. the rich flavor comes from the icecream. Soda is mostly water anyways. saying there is a difference between the two is simply redundant...

[Volundarkvioa]

@llollercoaster That's what I said. You were asking what a root beer float was either literally or sarcastically, and I was telling you that the ice cream gives the root beer a cooler and richer flavor. I didn't mean the soda gives the ice cream a richer flavor. Lol.

[llollercoaster]

@Volundarkvioa Yes, I mean, these things are totally different... I mean, Icecream is like fucking worlds apart from milk, its not like one is the main ingredient for the other or something...

[Volundarkvioa]

@llollercoaster What the hell are you getting at? I was telling you what a root beer float was, and that the ice cream gives the root beer a richer, cooler taste to it. I wasn't even commenting on the chocolate egg cream recipe, so I honestly don't understand why you're incorporating that into your comment (at least that's what I'm assuming you're referencing the milk to).

[llollercoaster]

@Volundarkvioa God damn you're retarded...

[Volundarkvioa]

@llollercoaster And you don't fucking make sense. Reread my comments; you asked what a root beer float was, but you were thinking I was talking about the freaking drink the video, which makes no goddamn sense when they're two completely separate things.

[llollercoaster]

@Volundarkvioa Holy shit... I was using a sarcastic comment to juxtapose two drinks that are extremely similar. All these people commenting in the video think this is some nasty watered down chocolate syrup. While a root beer float is just watered down ice cream, and almost everyone here has probably had one before.

The fact that you even think that I need to know what the ingredients of a root beer float are, let alone post it 3 times. Just shows how retarded you are.

[bayislove]

grossest thing Ive ever seen

[buggy627]

i LOVE watching your videos even though i never make them, one day i will though!

[chinobeast]

@buggy627 i know right!

[trashbarg]

@buggy627 To day is "one day" ;)

[randomU2br]

"chocolate suuurp."

[italianXnightmare]

And because i live in Brooklyn, i don't need to special order U-Bet :)

[xCaroI1435]

@italianXnightmare Same here!

[italianXnightmare]

@xCaroI1435 WOO! WE'VE PROBABLY MET!

[xCaroI1435]

@italianXnightmare Hehe yeah!

[ukyochan]

This stuff is so yummy! XD

[acmulhern]

great stuff, looks amazing. was afraid that you were gonna put like a raw egg in it and spoil it at some point, but you didn't let me down ;) thanks for posting

[SawaDoll]

wow, i have never seen that before. NZ is years behind

[da1on2]

It's just called an Egg Cream. No need to say chocolate since all of them are chocolate.

[viczai]

@da1on2 then how would you know it includes chocolate.

if its called egg cream then all you'd think is eggs and cream.

[da1on2]

@viczai well if I said chocolate egg cream you're gunna think it's chocolate, eggs, and cream; which it isn't either.

You know this by living in Brooklyn :)

[viczai]

@da1on2 hahah true.

buttt.. only a small fraction of the world lives in new york.. that might be a problem :) lol

[bayislove]

Grossss!!!!!!!!

[wangsean21]

What's that piano intro called? I hear it everywhere.

[noraui]

Would it work with cocoa powder?

[iluvalima]

I heard or rather remember seeing on a show that actual egg whites were used early on but that stopped due to health reasons. I've tried one before, wasn't a big fan of it.

[jtterpst]

Been a very long time since I've had an egg cream.  I can't wait to try this!

[jcsf9]

Maybe eggnog was used before milk took its place, hence the name?

[ziba89]

i thought this had eggs....and i was jst waiting for the moment u add eggs.....

[MrNoname5678910]

this is amazing!!!!!!

[aethiops007]

What if you use organic vitamin D milk (richer) and/or heavy cream and'or EGG NOG?!!

[JimmyChiffels]

@aethiops007 go ahead we dont give a dam

[aethiops007]

@JimmyChiffels OK, thanks.

[KNighcturnal]

tastes like carbonated spoiled choc milk

[Bondz45]

look like it will give me the shits

[Hypna88]

good god that looks nasty =/

[houchi69]

kick it up a notch: add heavy cream instead of milk ;-)

and if you are 21 and up, why not add some chocolate liquor, delicious!

[Youngd2007]

looks nasty :-/

[Cowtownjohnny]

another simple way to impress my wife, thank you, the stuffed peppers (peppadew is the only brand that worked right) are excellent.

[mirella930x0]

Tried it!! Great! And not too rich or sweet!

I live in NZ so I had to use chocolate sauce and soda water and it tasted great!

[qjtrinh]

i get stomach aches from things like these

[stooge81]

this is where we part company, chef. granted, most people don't have a soda (seltzer) siphon, but you can get them pretty cheap these days. you hit that milk/chocolate syrup mixture with a seltzer siphon, all the while stirring vigorously with a long-handled sppon, and you've created an authentic new york chocolate egg cream. a frothy, bubbly, chocolate-y joy to be hold. trust me. that said, a fine job you've done there.

[taxpayr]

Delicious!

[CabooseDaMan]

i just made it right now...not bad but kinda weird

[sweetlinaa]

sorry, but ew ew ew ew ew...!

[luticia]

DISGUSTING !

[daledude66]

I used to make these all the time, but I used half and half instead of milk. They were really good.

[legacy0100]

This is so easy!!! AND it's from New York!!! Thank you Chef John!!! :D

[tukikagami]

I didn't like it, I'll stick to chocolate soy milk. But thanks as always Chef.

[CrustyBiker]

@tukikagami Its probably an aquired taste, I remember when I first had an "icecream coke-float" the idea sounded good and the apppearance was appealing, but when i tasted yuuuuuuuuck! ........but now I find them alright! Lol

[KoujiKabuto]

@CrustyBiker before it (coke float) caught on I was already experimenting on it (using my sundae) and my friends are like HoLy Shit---WatDaEFf!? but I said I liked the rootbeer float idea why can`t it be on a coke? ^_^
