Ro: Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another episode of Nerdy Nummies!
Ro: I got so many requests to do something again with liquid nitrogen, so
Ro: I brought my friend Rich. Rich: Hello.
Ro: He’s from out of the box mods, I’ll put a link down below so you can
Ro: go check it out. But he basically makes the craziest, coolest custom computers
Ro: ever! He made my computer, and he made my roommates, Husky Starcraft.
Ro: So I’ll put a bunch of pictures up in here right now so you can see all
Ro: these cool pictures going on. You also might recognize him from the covers
Ro: of CPU Magazine. And we actually met at a convention, he’s at conventions a lot.
Ro: Which ones do you go to? Rich: Yeah, well first of all if you see me out
Rich: at conventions, I usually go by Darth Beavis, I'm known by that across the world.
Ro: Yes, AKA Darth Beavis! Rich: And uh, I love to go to gaming conventions, so
Rich: uh, PAX, QuakeCon, BlizzCon, And then my favorite LAN party of all that
Rich: Husky Starcraft and I both came from, PDX LAN, the creme de la creme of all
Rich: LAN Parties.
Ro: So today, we are going to be working with liquid nitrogen again, and we’re
Ro: gonna be making Dippin Dots. Rich: Mmmm! Ro: Let’s get started!
Rich: Whoa!
Ro: What you will need, will be: 4 medical syringes, I ordered the 60 CCs,
Ro: and… Rich: And, so we will have 4 yummy flavors of colorful ice cream, and we
Rich: will have 4 styrofoam bowls, the reason we use these bowls is because
Rich: we need them for the next ingredient, these are insulated bowls, they’re
Rich: not metal so they won’t get super, super cold and allow us to work with it.
Rich: The last ingredient is liquid nitrogen! Ro: Ta-der!
Ro: Pretty cool, I learned that in High School, science class,
Ro: styrofoam are insulators. The types of ice cream that we got are strawberry,
Ro: chocolate, vanilla and mint chocolate chip. Alright, let’s get started!
Ro: The first thing that we will be doing, we are going to take your bowl of
Ro: ice cream and microwave it for about 30 seconds, so that, it’s like soup, hot soup.
Rich: Now that we’ve worked very diligently in getting the ice cream melted…
Ro: Boom! We got our safety glasses, about to put ‘em on, before Rich pours all this
Ro: liquid nitrogen. And we’re gonna fill it about 1/2 way?
Rich: Well, there abouts… Ro: About 1/2 way.
Ro: OK, so what you’re gonna do is, here I’ll give you a syringe, you’re gonna
Ro: take off the top, take off the little needle top, like so, then we’re gonna
Ro: stick the syringe into the ice cream and suck it up!
Ro: Then you’re gonna attach the needle again, like so.
Ro: Yay cheers! Rich: Cheers! Ro: Dippin Dots!
Ro: Then you’re just gonna take your syringe and gently push out a little drip, and
Ro: it will make a little ball. And then we’re gonna do this for the other
Ro: ice cream colors.
Rich: We filled these 1/2 full with liquid nitrogen. Ro: Mmmhmm.
Rich: And you can keep making Dippin Dots until you’re out of ice cream.
Rich: The liquid nitrogen will eventually evaporate, leaving you only with
Rich: Dippin Dots. At that point you should probably stick them in the freezer
Rich: or consume them. Ro: Om-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom!
Rich: Om-nom-nom! Ro: Nom-nom-nom!
Ro: Om-nom-nom, nom-nom-nom, nom-nom,nom!
Rich: What’s really nice about doing this is you can make it without any artificial
Rich: colors, flavors or preservatives. So you could make it totally healthy, you
Rich: could make it with sugar free. Ro: Mmmhmm. Rich: So you could have it
Rich: meet all your dietary needs without having to go buy something off the shelf.
Rich: Plus you get the added benefit of making something yourself.
Ro: Making the little dots takes a little bit of time, so just be patient,
Ro: go at a good pace. If you go too fast, they won’t look like dots,
Ro: they’ll clump together, and they’ll kind of look like a blob.
Rich: Just put some Justin Bieber on and enjoy yourself.
Ro: Ta-da! We finished all the Dippin Dots! They look awesome!
Rich: So as soon as the liquid nitrogen evaporates, just shake, shake, shake…
Both: Shake, shake, shake! Rich: Shake your bootay!
Rich: And it will separate all the Dippin Dots.
Ro: That looks so cool, alright, and now it’s time, we can take a spoon,
Ro: take our spoons. Rich: There is no spoon. Ro: Ha-ha-ha how did you do that?
Ro: And then just scoop ‘em up and put them in your little ice cream.
Ro: Oh that’s funny, they stuck to the spoon.
Rich: Go for some green. Ro: Oh yeah! Little nilla… Come here!
Rich: All the colors of the rainbow. Ro: Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum!
Ro: These are pretty good.
Ro: Fwa-dah! Here’s our little cups of Dippin Dots! Da-dee!
Ro: Cheers Rich, we did a good job. Thank you Rich for coming,
Ro: I really appreciate it. Rich: I had an awesome Nerdy Time, thank you.
Ro: Aw, right on! Neah!
Ro: If you have any other ideas for any other Nerdy Nummies, please let me know,
Ro: leave me a comment below and I will do my best to make them happen.
Ro: OK, thanks so much! Bye-bye!
Ro: Bye guys! Rich: Hasta la bye-bye!
Ro: Oh gosh I can’t wait… Oh gosh they’re so good! Rich: Those are awesome!
