I used to work at a patisserie and one of our signature bakes was a brownie babka~ Basically you make a fudgy brownie, put it in the bottom of a loaf pan and then put a chocolate halva babka on top and bake! It’s my favorite, a few years after working there and even migrating across the world and I still dream of it sometimes
Hey David! I see that you already talk about the best parts of certain recipes, and how you could combine them (i.e. the mousse + tasty's brownie recipe). It would be an awesome segment at the end of each video if you executed the "perfect combination" recipe you think of
As a turkish teen, Refika's Kitchen made me love cooking and try classical foods any kind of. I highly suggest you to try few classic turkish foods, maybe not the well-known ones but I suggest you to try out the Lentil Meatballs which are AMAZING, easy and full on vegan. Tbh turkish cousine has a lot of vegan and vegetarian options and all of them are amazing
so true. that's why it bothers me even more seeing turkish restaurants, e.g. in germany where i live, often not include one single vegetarian option. all they offer is kebap, which is why my german vegeterian/vegan friends avoid going there. if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't know of any good turkish dishes at all.
I discovered her channel a few months ago and recommend it to everyone I know. What I personally love about her recipes is that they are so different from everything else you see chefs make (so tired of 500 versions of risotto that are all basically the same), but are easy and approachable, not to mention rooted in her culture.
David I hope you realize we won't stop bugging you for more of this series now. What a genius idea, testing recipes we all love but giving them a brand new original spin from different cultures. I want to see this with all the foods!
definately spaghetti. japanese and filipino version of spaghetti is sweet, and sometimes there can be unexpected ingredients compared to traditional italian (or even compared to american italian).
David! For the halvah brownies, there is a much easier way that gives a very similar method. By making a tahini/maple drizzle and swirling it into the top of the batter, it will create a very similar flavor to halvah, be much easier, and more delicious. And looks far cooler
David, from one brownie lover to another, you have GOT to try Adam Ragusea's "Condensed Milk and Brown Butter" Brownies. They are seriously to die for.
You should totally do a taste test for around the world pancakes, here in Brazil we have an extremely different version of what you guys have in america
Hi! You forgot to include a link to Refika’s channel in the description box. She deserves lots of recognition for the quality of her food and for how relatable she is. I like her a lot.
depending on the kind, halva sugar should be just about to caramelise, halva needs the sugar to crystalise in order to set up properly. You're agitating the sugar in order to facilitate it. Fresh halva has an almost shard like texture (like eating lots of tiny needles in a good way) and less fresh halva has a creamy nutty texture.
Mokkapalat is a Finnish version of brownies! It's on the cake-y side with a frosting on top. Most families have their own recipe at this point (I'd be happy to share mine since it's the right one 😉 ...Just kidding, each family says that.).
Me(a South Asian): Halwa BROWNIESSS???? Now I am intrigued. I pretty over south asian sweets at this point so this could save me. Big ups to David for making his own halwa. Adjacent to this lets have some franken-sweets with barfi!
That's the middle eastern halva, not the halwa that we get in India or other south Asian countries. The middle eastern one is very nutty as he'd mentioned, which makes it an ideal combination with brownies. Halwa with a W on the other hand is either the gelatinous form that you get in sweet shops or the pudding form like gajar halwa. The latter might be worth a shot although it really just shines on its own, IMHO!
@@MrPabhilash I'm middle eastern (born, raised, and live there) and what he used in the video is called halawa here, not halva, but it might just be pronounced differently in certain countries Edit: I'd like to mention that I'm specifically an arab and the word halawa is arabic meaning "sweetness", but apparently in other counties it's called halva
@@MrPabhilash Yeah for sure I know there are a lot of differences between the recipes. I just thought it was exciting to have fusion desserts. The non-gelatinous texture is probably better with brownies anyway. Sidenote: I hadn't quite noticed the spelling halwa vs halva till now but I think in South Asia tons of us end up pronouncing it with a 'v'.
Siezed chocolate shouldn't taste any different, just grainy. That's a weird result... After a quick Googling, it looks like AFN's recipe is really sugar-lean compared to other (miso and non-miso) brownies. Maybe it's intended to be more of a savory brownie with the brown butter? It's a neat idea, but it seems like it's intended for a palate that hasn't had brownies before.
yeah i think you're on point with this. I seen a lot of east asian desserts be borderline savory (like some of the ones containing salted egg yolk). Which of course isn't bad but it is definitely not what we in the west think of as a dessert. I am guessing these brownies fall into that category.
@@YindiOfficial that's what I was thinking. But it's also funny, bc a lot of every day Asian cooking includes sugar where westerners would typically only add salt. Like simple eggs would have a teaspoon of sugar with a pinch of salt. I think we're just accustomed to saving our sweets for the end of the meal, but many Asian cultures run the sweets through every course.
@@bodyofhope lmao yeah i remember when i first tasted a japanese omelette. i was like wait why is this sweeter than some pancakes i've had before??? i grew to like it though.
This would definitely be an interesting series to watch, it’s always interesting to see another country’s take on a dish that’s considered a classic to us
I feel like the 2nd recipe would be better as a cookie. Like you scoop the “brownie” part, fill it with a piece of the halva, roll it & bake it like that instead… idk just a thought 🤷🏽♀️
"This vid was mostly just an excuse to stuff my face with more brownies" David finding an excuse to be in brownie heaven: *I see this as an absolute win*
The chocolate mousse over the mexican chili brownies would be SOOO good. You could even get away with adding more spice to the brownie because the soft mousse would balance it.
pro tip: add a few drops of lemon juice when you're making a sugar syrup, the citric acid prevents the sugar from crystallizing it makes it bullet proof.
A friend of mine always mixes Dulce de Leche in with his brownie batter, it's not typically belgian tho so no idea where it's from,, but it's delicious! Just add the batter to the pan and barely mix in drops of DdL
Never apologize to us for making brownies. We know why you're making them. You know why you're making them. The words need be unspoken. Also I would like to request you remake Tasty's brownies with that silky french mousse. I'm quite sure I speak for all of your subscribers when I say we want to see the reaction.
Just thinking… could you do a comparison of vanilla extracts? A high end real vanilla, mid priced real vanilla and an imitation vanilla flavoring? I have tried many different ones and would like to see your take… maybe a blind taste test???
Definitely enjoying this venture into international tastes and interpretations. I like to try this kinds of reconceptualization myself and this set of recipes is certainly giving me some fun ideas to try!
Would you ever do gluten free foods? I have a nephew that is very sensitive to foods, he isn’t able to have dairy or gluten, and I want to make something that he could eat. Your videos are great!
In Italy we have torta tenerina (tender cake), which is somehow reminiscent of brownies. The recipe is from Ferrara, a city in the Emilia-Romagna region. I guess the main difference would be that the egg whites are kept to the side and beaten until they are stiff, before adding them to the batter. To anyone who reads this: if you like chocolate, you should definitely google this recipe and try it for yourself!
Have you ever considered starting a series where you make the best part of different recipes then combining them. Like you said the mouse on a better brownie would have been great. Or your favorite fried chicken sauce on the crispiest best flavoured fried chicken.
I can't believe you made you're own Halva! Growing up in Jordan we call it Halaweh, We only bought ready made ones from the shops, there's chocolate swirl Halaweh and it's delicious and very decedant! Kudos to you David for giving it ago!
You should try to make our version of brownies. It's called Tablea Brownies - made from Tablea (a ground up fermented nibs of pure cocoa (no additives such as sugar and milk).
David that helva looks amazing!!🤍 If you enjoyed the helva you definitely should try turkish style cacao-chocolate tahin helvas, which are just chocolate versions of the one you cooked in the video.
Okay, I now have an unyielding desire to make the Mexican brownies with the mousse from the French recipe on it. I’m buying the things I don’t have on my next grocery run.
Maybe you could also try making various types of a similar dish from various countries. Like every culture it seems like has their version of a dumpling. Or lots of countries (at least in Europe, which I'm familiar with) have a favourite apple desert.
I don't think that French silk brownie recipe was truly French, i'm not even sure we *have* premade brownie boxes... and i have neeever seen a receipe that said "use a premade thing for half the cake" lmao 😭
i vote for refika to be mentioned more often in your VS episodes . if possible :) also i would 120% recommend the hammered beef she made on her channel. it catapulted my brother and my BF into a food coma because they couldnt stop eating xD
I think you should try seeing how they'd make an American sandwich next, the ones that come to mind are either peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese. Maybe mac and cheese could be interesting to look at as well even though it's not American per se.
About that halva, you need to be carefull from where recipe come, middle east use sesame halva, but east europe use more sunflower halva, they are totaly different in texture and taste. I know this one was middle eastern, but having halva in does not make it automatically middle eastern.
Recently being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes has kinda sucked because all i've done is binge watch food videos that are all about things I can't eat right now
I may be showing my age here, but my favorite brownies are the Mayflower Brownies (the ones the reports were given at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel during Clinton’s impeachment) and San Francisco Fudge Foggies. Both are very chocolate forward with lots of nuts.

@@tinamariecolombo5979 yeah I thought that too. Like just put the halva in a better batter

@@Diabolicallaughter- No, lentil meatballs are quite different from falafel. They are more like a cold salad-ish thing.
Really? I live in turkey and tbh there’s not a lot of variety but hey maybe that’s just me I’d love to hear some suggestions

vouch, these things were INSANE. no brownie mix has compared since
Yeah I made the cakey version and it was a hit. My MIL now thinks I’m a much better baker than I actually am.
You should totally do a taste test for around the world pancakes, here in Brazil we have an extremely different version of what you guys have in america
Sounds like the entire concept behind Beryl Sherashewsky's channel
@@bodyofhope idk who tf is that but if they do something like this I'm totally going to check it out
@@bodyofhope That's exactly what I was going to say!
If you even used Ghirardelli brownie mix, it would’ve elevated that one recipe a lot. Now THAT is the high quality mix.
You should try Kladdkaka (lit. Sticky cake), the Swedish version of brownie 🇸🇪🍫
DETTA!

French silk pie and the French silk brownie recipe you used are both from the United States! It's just called that (:

@@MrPabhilash Yeah for sure I know there are a lot of differences between the recipes. I just thought it was exciting to have fusion desserts.

you should try Swedish kladdkaka, not really a brownie per definition but still hehe
Already made it so many times, it's so so good and so simple to make! Love it 😊
David Leibovitz's salted caramel cheesecake brownie's are the best
Great idea for a video! If you want more ideas, I would suggest making the Korean coffee brownie or the dark chocolate mochi brownie.
As a french I have never heard of this french silk brownie bit great video it would make a great series
It’s an American recipe.
as a middle-eastern, i've never thought of putting halva in brownies, or making my own 😁
I feel like the 2nd recipe would be better as a cookie. Like you scoop the “brownie” part, fill it with a piece of the halva, roll it & bake it like that instead… idk just a thought 🤷🏽♀️
That’s actually how we eat it usually, in like a cookies type dough. I’ve never heard of the brownie halva before.
CupcakeJemma from Crumbs&Doilies has a caramel cornflake crunch brownie that looks AMAZING!
The 2nd halva you made looks great! heres a suggestion: try crumbling some of it on a buttered toast, with a tiny bit of kosher salt
You should definitely try Filipino spaghetti! It is so different from Italian and American spaghetti!
miso definitely works in brownies, but i've never seen it done this way, kinda odd
You should absolutely continue this series!
Foreigners: Americans always have to ruin our classic dishes, it's insulting
David in this: *UNO Reverse card*
Have you made adam ragusea condense milk brownies? They are amazing, definitely the best brownie I have ever had.
I’d love to see international approaches to pie!
Omg you need to try the miso biscuits from Claire Saffitz!!!
I would love to see you try to mix your favorite attributes of each and create a super recipe and see fi its better or worse
So excited for this series!! Brazilian red velvet usually has berry jam in it, so it would be really interesting
Excellent as always. It would've been kinda cool to see you take your favorite elements of each one and make a Franken-brownie out of them!
"This vid was mostly just an excuse to stuff my face with more brownies"
David finding an excuse to be in brownie heaven: *I see this as an absolute win*
Make a mix of the best ones. Tasty brownies, add cayenne powder, and then add a bit of the mousse topping. 🤯
The chocolate mousse over the mexican chili brownies would be SOOO good. You could even get away with adding more spice to the brownie because the soft mousse would balance it.
pro tip: add a few drops of lemon juice when you're making a sugar syrup, the citric acid prevents the sugar from crystallizing it makes it bullet proof.
Should've gone with a Ghiradelli brownie mix. 🤭 I love Mexican hot chocolate, so will have try those first ones.
Just made the french silk one and exactly the brand I use, absolutely the best brownie mix. Currently chilling in the fridge. 🤞🏾
A friend of mine always mixes Dulce de Leche in with his brownie batter, it's not typically belgian tho so no idea where it's from,, but it's delicious! Just add the batter to the pan and barely mix in drops of DdL

I love your videos so much. Such a comfort feeling whenever I watch your videos and thank you for being so genuine about your reviews!
The french brownies topping is the filing for a french silk pie which is amazing
Finally another brownies episode. Can I request you a taste test of different no bake brownies recipes?
You should have used the Ghirardelli brownie mix much better quality than Duncan Hines.
Agree - that’s a good mix. Also, the King Arthur brownie mix, which is gluten-free, is very good.
Just thinking… could you do a comparison of vanilla extracts? A high end real vanilla, mid priced real vanilla and an imitation vanilla flavoring? I have tried many different ones and would like to see your take… maybe a blind taste test???

I feel like Kladdkaka would be a good one to try if you do this again
I can't believe you made you're own Halva! Growing up in Jordan we call it Halaweh, We only bought ready made ones from the shops, there's chocolate swirl Halaweh and it's delicious and very decedant! Kudos to you David for giving it ago!
Please do everyone's Levain cookies. 🍪
I’m a simple woman, I see brownie and I click immediately 😅😌
You could really make a crazy run with this idea. Pizza has crazy iterations around the world!
LOVE this videoo concept! Must turn it into a series. I would love to see what could be done with pancakes or classics like carrot cake or cookies.
You ever made a series just combining some of the best recipes like the first brownie topped with the second mousse ?
You should try to make our version of brownies. It's called Tablea Brownies - made from Tablea (a ground up fermented nibs of pure cocoa (no additives such as sugar and milk).
Very impressed with the Halva making! Tahini is very underated in america; being literally the king of all nut butters!
Everyplate isn't too bad. It's probably the best food recipe box service out there.
David that helva looks amazing!!🤍
If you enjoyed the helva you definitely should try turkish style cacao-chocolate tahin helvas, which are just chocolate versions of the one you cooked in the video.
Okay, I now have an unyielding desire to make the Mexican brownies with the mousse from the French recipe on it. I’m buying the things I don’t have on my next grocery run.
so much work went into this. Incredible
I cannot recommend enough that you try Yotam Ottolenghi's Halva & Tahini brownies from the cookbook "Sweet". I guarantee you will be impressed.
The Aaron Sanchez brownies sound sublime! Thank you!
Hi David, I just wanted to thank you for my Helix Sleep bed. it is still amazing!
Maybe you could also try making various types of a similar dish from various countries. Like every culture it seems like has their version of a dumpling. Or lots of countries (at least in Europe, which I'm familiar with) have a favourite apple desert.
It might be the type of miso you have. There are lots of different kinds, some stronger than others. Love your videos!

I can confirm that it’s not French. I have never heard or seen it in France.
You should make some black garlic deserts :)
I really liked this video concept!
Suggestion: how about you test the different donuts that Clairre has made
Never Have I Ever Seen David so happy in a video
Dang. Those Mexican brownies look bomb.
I haven't visited your channel in so long, I miss you I love this channel and I will be trying those first brownies.
Please try everyone's chocolate chip cookies!!!!!
5:18 got me "Cocoa Bean" I was like where the heck do you buy a cocoa bean?
My mum makes halva brownies and it's a favorite of mine
When she makes it its moist and we'll balanced so might be worth giving them another go with pre made halva and different halva brownie recipe
Thanks for the content, imma make brownies😍
I actually live in a country where it is extremely easy to find halva, and I can say that u have done a pretty good job! (For an American...)
Oh and never put nuts in halva. It is gross
i vote for refika to be mentioned more often in your VS episodes . if possible :)
also i would 120% recommend the hammered beef she made on her channel.
it catapulted my brother and my BF into a food coma because they couldnt stop eating xD
Fun fact !
(Im arab)
Halva pronounced halawa and we eat it as a breakfast with peta bread 👍🏻
you should definitely do pancakes, here in Chile we have a unique recipe that you would love
test your internet friends favorite recipes ! like one for breakfast one for lunch etc
unfochnotly you can't do any UK baced brownies as we like to add a fun wacky backie time to our brownies lol
What if you put the mousse on the first brownies? Like, fire real though?! I need to know!
I made the Mexican hot chocolate brownies and they're so good!
Mousse! You has me at mousse. Now I need pasteurized eggs. And I need to try Aaron’s brownies. Have you tried Alton Brown’s brownies? To. Die. For.
Such a great idea, David. I’d love to see more videos like this
Yay, Refika's kitchen shoutout! Have been waiting for you to feature her on the channel for... possibly years at this point? Lol.
I think you should try seeing how they'd make an American sandwich next, the ones that come to mind are either peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese. Maybe mac and cheese could be interesting to look at as well even though it's not American per se.
