  • This is a world-class Valentine’s pastry that even a beginner can master. We do need to make three separate components, but they’re all very easy, and once mastered, can be used separately, or together to make so many other classic French desserts. Enjoy!

    My interpretation of Chef John’s advice for this recipe: “Show no fear and just keep stirring, no matter what.”

    Thank you Chef. In watching TH-cam cooking video for about 8 years now I have learned more about pate choux in 14 minutes with you than all those other videos combined. Words can't convey my appreciation enough.

    Once you're done you can be as terrified as you want 🤣 it's been too long since I've made pâte à choux, I think I'll totally make this for Vday. Great tips for the pastry cream I'm excited to test out, and for incorporating the eggs into the choux dough just a bit before mixing the rest together. Cool! Looks amazing and pretty foolproof indeed!

  • @mrs.nassimian6238
    @mrs.nassimian6238 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    @chef John. Thank you so much. I am religiously following your instructions and so far, it looks great. Have failed in making pâte à choux before and I particularly love the little hints you dropped on doing it right and being on the right path and the easy to follow instructions.
    I will make chocolate éclairs or even religieuse for valentine's. So thrilled

  • @chanfonseka8051
    @chanfonseka8051 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I made this for this valentine's day. Had bought a silpat recently which is a marvel. My choux pastry was probably a tad browner than I would have liked, but overall everything turned out just great, not too sweet, and the family simply devoured it! I gave one to my nextdoor neighbors and they loved it.

    Thank you Chef John! I am an extreme novice baker and I made these yesterday. My wife and kids were shocked at how good they were!! I didn’t have vanilla bean and put 3 tsp of vanilla extract and the custard came out amazing. I got a 4 inch piping tip which was too narrow for the cream. I added 4 tbsp of whole milk to thin it out to squeeze through the narrow piping tip.

  • @JuanGomez-ud8xh
    @JuanGomez-ud8xh 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The reason why you can draw a heart with a piping bag is because your brain can concentrate more on the shape of the heart and less on the stroke of the pencil. Love ya chef john! Been a subscriber for the longest time!

    "Don't panic. A french pastry dough can sense fear" hahahaha
    My mind is blown right now. I make Eclairs quite often, but they are never as big as bakery eclairs, and I have been unable to buy a bigger piping bag tip (to make them thicker). Are you telling me the answer is simply to layer the pastry? I can't wait to try it.

    Although I’m pretty sure that I’ve already commented on this Amazing Video and Recipe, I’ve gotta comment again- Especially Bc I’ve now watched it about 10 times- The reason being is Bc of All of the Incredible things that you have made and posted Chef John, this is one of the few that I (somewhat) have the courage to try and make 😖 Which will be a Very Special Valentines Day treat for my Son- And, since I constantly talk about what I’ve learned from you (Chef John), like the techniques for seared steaks with a pan sauce, It’s time for me to actually make something now! Which, I’m Very Excited to make this Beautiful recipe!! And Not just to be able to serve my Son a Very Special Valentines Day treat from my Heart- But, So that this Mom will get to indulge a bit as well!! Many Blessings to You and Michelle Chef John and Please Keep up the Great Work!! 💜

    Way back in 1990, before vanilla bean was a thing, I bought a gallon of vanilla ice cream at a local dairy. I got home and popped it in the freezer. A couple days later, I got out the container, opened it and prepared to get myself a scoop or two. To my horror, I found what I thought were tiny little black bugs in my ice cream! Now bare in mind that this was during the time when a finger was reportedly found in a can of Coke. I got out my phone book and looked up the number for the dairy. I considered calling the manufacturer to report the bugs. I was getting myself in a tizzy, hoping to stop anyone else from getting an "adulterated" gallon. Then I looked at the lid. "Premium Vanilla Bean". Premium Vanilla Bean?? Oops. I came this close to making a complete idiot of myself.
