That's some Willy Wonka shit right there.

[–]tomdarch 20 points21 points ago

Welcome to the tripped out world of molecular gastronomy!

[–]JohnnyLotion 4 points5 points ago

Had dinner at Mugaritz this summer, tripped out would be the right description.

[–]jacaba 15 points16 points ago

This is seriously nuts... I just drew Willy Wonka's edible cup as a food prop to make for my props and stage management class. http://imgur.com/AlQT7

[–]bigbangbilly 9 points10 points ago

In the 1st movie the cup was made of wax and the actor spat it out afterwards.

[–]milleribsen 5 points6 points ago

the difference between movies and stage is on stage we can't yell cut and have the actor spit it out then keep going when he's done.

[–]bigbangbilly 2 points3 points ago

So the challenge is to make one for the stage, eh?

[–]milleribsen -1 points0 points ago

I would assume, as the class jacaba is in is "props and stage management." See that word, "stage" in the class title?

[–]MildManneredFeminist 3 points4 points ago

What a cool assignment!

[–]Spark_spork 2 points3 points ago

Excuse me but please can you post something on /r/ladybonersgw or something because the bits that are not obscured by the fortune cookie look ... amazing.

[–]mikew0w 26 points27 points ago

Also a designers concept, not in production

[–]Major_halil 9 points10 points ago

What are they line the inside with i don't know a food product that won't dissolve or melt let alone cookie decorations

[–]tomdarch 40 points41 points ago

There are a bunch of ingredients called hydrocolloids, such as gelatin, or carrageenan. Some are "thermoreversible" like gelatin - it will gell, but when you heat it up, it melts again. Some are "non-thermoreversible" like gellan. Gellan is pretty useful stuff - it doesn't have a flavor of its own, and it doesn't "mute" flavorings that are added to it. If I was going to try to make something like this myself, I'd start my experiments with gellan.

If the cup was a "spice cookie", I'd probably try a simple sugar+vanilla flavoring for the lining of the cup, in order to not overwhelm the coffee, and to compliment the cookie.

[–]Major_halil 5 points6 points ago

TIL

[–]melechkibitzer 4 points5 points ago

maybe you have to drink it really fast before it comes apart

[–]Keightler 4 points5 points ago

It's only an espresso so it shouldn't take you that long anyways.

[–]abomb999 3 points4 points ago

dried coconut paste?

[–]mikew0w 3 points4 points ago

Since it is only a concept and not in production I figure that is a problem they have not solved. There are no details so I assume that the designer didn't worry about that and left that as an experiment for the engineers.

[–]missPANK -1 points0 points ago

I imagine the inside lining is supposed to serve as a kind of barrier/protector.

[–]brainchrist 42 points43 points ago

Well that certainly looks horribly dangerous

[–]skybike 53 points54 points ago

deliciously horribly dangerous.

[–]Keightler 35 points36 points ago

It's an espresso cup not a full sized mug, you would have it finished in a minute or two, and by the time it did manage to seep through there would only be enough coffee left to just soften the cookie.

[–]abenton 10 points11 points ago

It needs to be... At least... Three times that size

[–]xshadowshooter 14 points15 points ago

What is this, an edible coffee cup for ANTS?

[–]drcrunknasty 2 points3 points ago

Ants who can't read good

[–]gusatron51 0 points1 point ago

or type well

[–]IleaveComments 19 points20 points ago

Someone send this picture to starbucks, and let them know I'd be willing to abandon Tims if they had these.

[–]DrunkmanDoodoo 19 points20 points ago

Why wouldn't you just want Tims to sell them?

[–]IleaveComments 12 points13 points ago

I'd be shocked to see Tims doing something like this. Starbucks already has a bunch of cookie-type things they sell, most of them hard as a rock and needing coffee to soften them anyway. Tims is a doughnut shop that also sells cookies. Also... Tims' espresso is pretty poor.

[–]RetroViruses 2 points3 points ago

All of the liquids sold at Timmies are pretty poor...

[–]IleaveComments 4 points5 points ago

Totally disagree. I love their coffee. Also their iced coffee. And ice caps. Oh, and their sandwiches. Soooo good.

Edit: Have you had their bacon and ham swiss? Oh god. The honey mustard, man. THE HONEY MUSTARD.

[–]pinkpools 1 point2 points ago

I wish I could live the rest of my life floating over the isles on a cloud of Ham Bagel BELTs..

[–]throw_away_user_name 0 points1 point ago

Yes, yes, YES! That laser yellow sweetness...

[–]apatacus 1 point2 points ago

AND THEN I ATE THE CUP

[–]NotYourMothersDildo 1 point2 points ago

Because then you're drinking espresso from Tim Hortons.

[–]Lionflower13 6 points7 points ago

You mean horribly delicious!

[–]emptythecache 6 points7 points ago

...on a deadline.

[–]Witeout88 5 points6 points ago

No recipe, lavazza is developing it.

[–]BcottSrown 3 points4 points ago

I would rather have a cookie with my coffee than drink the coffee and then eat the cookie.

[–]theknowmad 1 point2 points ago

I cannot believe I didn't think of this until I was this far down the page. So very, very true.

[–]sethery839 3 points4 points ago

I feel dumb. What is that mug made out of?

[–]Stripedhorse 1 point2 points ago

Cookie.

[–]missPANK 2 points3 points ago

Cookie magic.

[–]Also_bender 3 points4 points ago

All cookies have cookie magic.

[–]drcrunknasty 1 point2 points ago

It's true. One of the main ingredients. Flour, eggs, magic, other stuff to make cookies.

[–]asherbookman 2 points3 points ago

That looks great! Recipe?

[–]beernerd 8 points9 points ago

First, you're going to need a mug-shaped mold...

[–]skybike 35 points36 points ago

Also known as a mug.

[–]beernerd 15 points16 points ago

Actually, the mold would be the inverse of a mug. How would you make the handle if you were using a plain mug? You use a mug to make a mold, then use the mold to shape the cookie.

[–]CarTarget 0 points1 point ago

If it's sturdy enough as dough, you could just mold it over an upside down mug to bake.

[–]beernerd 0 points1 point ago

But how would you remove the mug?

[–]CarTarget 1 point2 points ago

Curse you and your logic...

[–]drunkmancooks 0 points1 point ago

Line the outside of it with parchment paper before baking.

[–]peacefulacrez 0 points1 point ago

what about the handle?

[–]drunkmancooks 1 point2 points ago

Line that, or create your own and glue it on with a marmalade or jam reduction.

[–]dag96 2 points3 points ago

Don't know why you're getting downvotes man. Makes sense to me

[–]bmwill 1 point2 points ago

Fuck that's way too much work. I'll just drink it from the mug

[–]beernerd 2 points3 points ago

You have a valid point. This is the kind of stuff I would totally do if I owned a 3D printer... and then people would laugh at me while I spend 3 days making things that can be bought in stores for less than $20...

[–]sjs 3 points4 points ago

If you don't need a handle you can use any small glass.

[–]beernerd 0 points1 point ago

True, you could pack a medium sized glass with dough and then press it with a smaller glass. Now I'm thinking shortbread would be the ideal cookie for this because it's dense and stiff. Maybe royal icing for the lining? I may need to experiment...

[–]tomdarch 0 points1 point ago

I would want some egg or other protein in the cookie to provide a little binding - shortbread (flour+butter) can be too crumbly.

Royal icing will melt quickly in contact with the hot liquid. You're almost certainly going to need to delve into the world of molecular gastronomy... mwaahahahahahahhahahaha!!!!!

(Check out my comment here. This guide is a great introduction to hydrocolloids, which are probably the key to making the lining.)

edit: come to think of it, if the lining isn't too brittle, it might hold the cookie shell together, which would allow more options, like shortbread!

[–]misterioes 0 points1 point ago

This it the kind of posts that made me subscribe to /r/coffee. Oh wait ;(

[–]mattyn 1 point2 points ago

Repost! but still amazing.

[–]aprilrain187 -1 points0 points ago

Just hope that it doesn't leak.

[–]MrBrawn 0 points1 point ago

Wait, what are you supposed to wash it down with?

[–]CarTarget 3 points4 points ago

If you give a mouse a coffee-cookie...

[–]contingeon 1 point2 points ago

It will still want milk, just as if it ate a regular cookie.

[–]LkM_ 1 point2 points ago

I think I need it... Our building has one communal kitchen sink so we usually leave our cups dirty till next coffee. Edible cups would fix this dire problem!

[–]missPANK 1 point2 points ago

So would disposable paper ones.

[–]godbois -1 points0 points ago

What's the white lining? I can't imagine it's white chocolate or a cream filling like the gunk in Oreos, that'd melt the instant the espresso hit it.

[–]Kymiwins 0 points1 point ago

I thought maybe royal icing.

[–]PollysLithium -1 points0 points ago

Whattt

[–]riacosta -1 points0 points ago

It was new when I first saw it, 100 reposts ago.

[–]rhoswhen 0 points1 point ago

This can't be too tough to create.

Find a pretty decent cookie recipe- maybe something dense, but light. Maybe regular old biscotti dough? Form it into a cone shape, line it with icing, and add an espresso.

[–]Emmanuell89 0 points1 point ago

actually it's a repost .

[–]Jldechow 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of the post of the hollowed out apples with carmel in them. Delicious!

[–]ahavawesome 0 points1 point ago

That is pretty rad. What a cute gift idea. Must try!!

[–]unconscionable 0 points1 point ago

This is food porn at its finest:

✓ extremely attractive
✓ no one really does this when a camera's not there
✓ impractical
✓ not as good as it looks

[–]WeldingMouse 0 points1 point ago

I always got the barista to pull fresh shots over a Lindor truffle (the little chocolate balls).

So good, and at the price of $0.75 with an employee discount many were had.

[–]Anthropophobiac 1 point2 points ago

drool

Shut up and take my money!

[–]fretsejaz -1 points0 points ago

I hate you so much... I WANT THIS =<

[–]deja-vu-comment 0 points1 point ago

HOW!?

.

[–]txapollo342 4 points5 points ago

It's still a concept We have top men working on it now.

[–]aprilrain187 2 points3 points ago

...top men.

[–]tomdarch 0 points1 point ago

it's about five years from market...

[–]kps2012[S] 0 points1 point ago

Was unaware this was a once posted, just found it and have never seen it on /r/foodporn so thought I would share.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]reverendbink 14 points15 points ago

Actually, that looks like a really beautifully poured shot of black espresso. What you're seeing as milk and sugar looks like a fresh crema to me.

[–]TenRobots 7 points8 points ago

The shit coffee elitists say I find even more entertaining. Who gives a shit if somebody likes a ton of milk and sugar in their coffee? It's their coffee and to them it tastes better that way. Sometimes I want a nice dark roast with maybe just a splash of cream, sometimes I want a sweet drink that happens to be caffeinated.

[–]v1c1ous 0 points1 point ago

Looks like a miniature diabetes enhancer

[–]themainingredient420 -4 points-3 points ago

Repost.... Saw this on here the other day....

[–]Crusty_Potato -2 points-1 points ago

........ wouldnt you have to basically burn your mouth trying to drink the coffee fast enough so the bread doesnt get soggy/leak?

[–]tomdarch 2 points3 points ago

The white layer has to be something waterproof to separate the coffee from the cookie.

[–]bigbangbilly 0 points1 point ago

also edible. Some sort of liquid-proof icing that don't melt

[–]straightlightchaser 1 point2 points ago

It's an espresso cup. Espresso isn't that hot.

[–]dag96 0 points1 point ago

Espresso is hot as hell, but it only takes a minute or two to drink. I wouldn't be too worried about any leaks

[–]Gehbstemmer 0 points1 point ago

You should xpost this to /r/Coffee . (:

[–]Fletchenstein 0 points1 point ago

A new way to enjoy your coffee quickly.

[–]szester -2 points-1 points ago

Yea, all 2 sips of it

[–]loulan 0 points1 point ago

Uh? It's called "espresso". AKA only real coffee.

[–]ITSGORDONRAMSAY -2 points-1 points ago

This is an event that will make or break you. This is what you have worked for your entire lives. Welcome to Hell's Kitchen.

[–]knifebucket -3 points-2 points ago

New way to enjoy your coffee get fat.

/r/keto !!
