Timna’s Popcorn Milkshake

Chef Nir Mesika on the restaurant Timna in Fresh York shrugs off our typical requirements for popcorn—the crunch we poke—and as one more narrows in on its salty, buttery flavor. Ethereal, rapid popcorn, bedamned—Mesika is about to soak it to the level of no return.

Boil popped popcorn in half-and-half, sugar, and salt (haters of damp popcorn, look away), then let it aloof down in a single day; the starch from the popcorn will leach into the dairy, thickening and flavoring it. Some hours later, obliterated the kernels—now pillow-soft and chubby with milk—in a food processor and stress the combination. You’re left with a pure popcorn flavor within the body of a frigid, frothy drink.
