This is absolutely perfect no flour needed at all because due to the lockdown all the flour is out of stock everywhere. Been looking for something like this
Lucky for me, I was able to stock up on a lot of flour before all of this happened. I'm planning on making some sourdough starter, and some leavened bread at some point this weekend.
Right, all you need now is a silpat mat, powdered gelatin, corn syrup, 66% chocolate, a fridge that can fit a half sheet pan, a ring mold and acetate liners.
@@Trund27 It was decadent. And, it was relatively easy to make. The caramelized rice krispy base wasn't too difficult to make. The peanut butter mousse filling was easier to make than I thought it would be. And, the chocolate glaze on the top when on smoothly when I followed Dominique's directions in this video. This is a real showstopper and game changer when you're done. 🤩
@@jej887 No, the book does not give an alternative. That being said, corn syrup is an invert sugar, so you could replace it with something that is considered an invert sugar (or you could make your own-Google it)... For example, you could use honey. You could also get away with maple syrup for this recipe. In this case, you're just trying to get the rice krispies to stick together. I hope this helps.
I bought his book, it’s fantastic!! The first recipe I made was the banana bread. I’ve been looking for a recipe just like my grandma used to make. Sadly when she died, the recipe died with her and I spent the last 20 years baking every banana bread recipe I could find hoping it would taste like hers. This was the one.

It brought us both to tears. this recipe is my special connection to her, and it’s an absolutely perfect recipe, please try it at home you will love it. In memory of Kathryn F. We miss you Gram ❤️
@Christian Laursen If there is any time during the day to consume sugar its in the morning :P It won't last you long but sure better to eat your "candy" early in the day rather than late
Its obvious like a lot of chefs..he makes large portions as there is rarely any "leftovers" or if there are any...they get used up quickly. Its obvious he is just using that as his default go-to for not scaling the recipe correctly...which is hilarious
@Christian Laursen You do relize that one of the advantages of sugar over, lets say fat, is that it can be very quickly broken down and absorbed into your cell as an available source of energy. Something that is very beneficial if you are for example just waking up and your energy levels are slightly lower than preferable. On a side note I think its hillarious that you but sugar and heroin as if the two were somehow similar xD Despite the fact that sugar is litterly *essential* but there are different sources with different kind of positive/negative aspects
This is one of those desserts that looks so indulgent, that if you were to find out that you were going to die tomorrow, you would definitely have to put consuming this on your to do list before you leave this earth.
I'm having that same thought. A close friend of mine has a birthday in about a month, and I figure I have enough time and resources to trial run this twice before I need it to be perfect for her. And watching him make this, I think it's doable.
It's called a Madeleine de Proust. We use that expression regularly. French writer Proust wrote in his autobiography about this involuntary memory moment, when eating a madeleine after dipping it in tea takes him back to his childhood at his aunt in Normandie who used to serve him a madeleine and a tea for breakfast
This man is so humble and gentle. My friends went to NYC and made it a point to go to his bakery. Just because they love his character. Said his employees reflected that. Totally different experience from those (insert appropriate word) at Milk Bar.
Hos subtle smile feels like he so glad he came with the dish and is making it and just perfectly excited for the final product . Even the fluid and patient pace of his work is so good like he isn't annoyed that he has to wait for it but happy that he getting there. Just so wholesome and happy 🙂
Made this today for a birthday, it's still in the fridge so I can't say how good it tastes whole, but all the separate bits tasted amazing and it is by far the best looking cake I've ever made and not as difficult as it seems - no baking which is a plus 😁
had almost same experience with peanut butter as Dominique, back 30years ago u did not get peanut butter everywhere in europe, u still dont get it everywhere but its more common and after lot of years eating it it felt so good, love peanut butter
I’m a self taught homebaker & Made this today for my wedding anniversary cake.. and it was sooo damn good. I decide to add a piece of thin chocolate spongecake inside the mousse and made lesser mousse because i think there will be too creamy for me and it turned out really nice combination. And one thing, the puff rice base were too messy while sliced, it quite hard to cut & crumbles once sliced. I think chocolate biscuit base would be work well too. Thank you dor the amazing recipe chef, love from Indonesia
I made this with the help of my mother for Fathers Day (my Dad loves peanut butter and chocolate together) and it was great, not overly sweet but rich and delicious.
I watched this and realized I had the ingredients. After watching this it was fairly easy. The results were incredible and unique though. Five Star recipe.

This looks so fancy & delicious, but also looks easy enough for non-professionals. Definitely going to try making this during quarantine. Do you store the leftovers in the fridge or freezer?
@@stanvanillo9831 I made this yesterday, and it was wonderful! I just followed his steps exactly, and it turned out really well. I was worried I would make scrambled eggs, but nope! I just listened to his instructions, and it was so worth it. Absolutely delicious! :)
Neryams nahh I just saw the pic you sent, and I think it looks pretty damn good. Nice one. I made a microwave cheesecake once. Hahaha. It wasn’t as good.
Okay so i made this, everything tastes wonderful but if you're going to attempt it, remember to 1) not over cook the milk and eggs part, i let it get a bit too thick and it was difficult to mix in with the whipped cream, 2) the measurements for the chocolate puffed rice needs to be doubled, i used a 8 inch diameter pan as mentioned but it was too little and double the amount turned out to be perfect :) 3) seriously he glazed it that quick for a reason, the cake is cold so Ganache firmed up quick and wasn't as smooth 😂 like ripple waves lol, anyhow I've learnt what not to do for next time, please try this recipe it's so much easier and hassle free than regular layer cake 😂😂 and its flippin delicious ((also also, right before glazing i sprinkled some crushed up pink salt on top, was really nice))
@@ryanmiller7225 hey , hope it turned out well for you ! honestly i don't remember at all its been 2 years lol , but i would put it back in the fridge if my ganache was room temp
"ORGASMIC!" Very rich, indulgent, not too sweet & considering it was made with peanut butter, surprisingly light. Highly recommended, it scored ten out of ten with my guests, and I was given permission to make it again, lol. PS. I added a level tsp of salt to the peanut mouse, for my taste it gave a needed, light lift. Next time, I may try a couple of drops of, "Chilli Oil" in the mouse?
What i would do if you like a stonger chocolate flavour, i would had a bit of salt to the ganache along side with some coco powder and just a touche of coffe (dry coffee instant ) it brings out an intense chocolate flavour, plus i wouldnt mind do this mixing the ingredients, instead of a peanut butter a chocolate mousse with very little sugar, the rice crispys with a peanut butter coatin and ganache could be a mix of things, i my self like coffe and caramel so yhea. Just get creative i would say.
@@pedrobraganca3115 I've since changed the base, and used "fitness," a a multigrain flake. I added salt to the peanut mouse, and a hint of chilli oil - It worked very well...
You can really see not just the skill but the experience shining through. I think when he said "it's easy" that is because the confidence you get when you repeat doing something gives you the freedom to dedicate more energy and thought on to perfecting what you're making, instead of wasting time trying hard not to mistake. And that is what separates the the skilled people from talented people. So every time you see someone do something difficult and they make it look easy? That is why.
Awesome video, this looks amazing! The recipe provided in the link is a bit confusing however and doesn't cover how to assemble the cake. It also has you put the rice in the cake mold multiple times..?
Puffed rice steps are out of order versus the video. He uses only yolks, when the printout just says eggs - it doesn't mention separating them. Then the printout doesn't mention FREEZING the cake?! I screwed up by not letting the creme anglaise mixture cool... the video didn't cover that step well, while it was on the printout. I ended up with liquid filling rather than a mousse. Either way, it's in the freezer now for overnight. It'll be an ice cream cake for dessert tomorrow night.
Had no idea what I did wrong. My mousse doesn’t turn out as smooth as his. Even though I melted the gelatins separately and mixed in the peanut butter mixture. After it cooled down, it started to get very hard so I put it in the microwave to warm a bit then mixed in the heavy cream. But it still had chunky pieces inside. I just hope the flavor is good enough and edible. It’s in the freezer now and will do the ganache part the next day
I totally made this. I added a layer of salted caramel before putting on a double layer ganache. To die for!!! Then I went right online and bought the book, can’t wait to bake more, I wish there were videos to all the recipes, I love how easy he makes it look and the joy of baking that he exudes.
Johanan 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water Heat both in a sauce pan until sugar dissolves, then whisk in 1/4 cup unsalted butter and bring to a boil. Cook caramel until golden/ dark in color. Remove from heat, stir in 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract 1/2 to 1 tsp salt Cool, pour and enjoy!
Hello, after you poured your salted caramel layer did you then set it in the fridge or freezer and for how long before pouring the ganache, also how long did you leave first ganache before doing second layer. Many Thanks.
@@coolioobi5755 my caramel was very thick to begin with so I just let it set at room temp for ten minutes. The ganache I let rest in the fridge for an hour until it was firm
Thank you. Can you post the ingredients recipe for Dominique's Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch Cake, as per the book, as this would clear up all the mistakes everyone is making by using the utube-directed recipe? Thanks again!
Going to his bakery in SoHo NYC was on my bucket list when visiting NYC the first time ! It was a dream come true to taste his Cronut and Caneles ! Later I found his creation at Caesar’s in Las Vegas which was such a pleasant surprise ! I will check out his book !
So, I tried this recipe, and while delicious, it seemed that the gelatin didn't quite combine and gave a slightly lumpy texture in some spots. I know its not scrambled egg bits because I strained it once. The problem may have been that the recipe on the website says to add the peanut butter THEN the gelatin, where the video shows it the other way around. I'm guessing that it doesn't combine fully if the peanut butter cools the mixture first, and makes it more difficult to whisk. Might want to change the recipe if somebody more knowledgeable agrees that it could be the issue. Will have to try again either way!
thank you for the feedback!! i have some baking experience and i'd say you're definitely right, adding the gelatin before the peanut butter like in the video would ensure that the final mousse turns out nice and smooth
@@nuclearbananas3 Gotta be what my problem was. I felt so stupid when I realized. I had a roast in and wasn't really thinking about the steps. Just following them exactly..
The recipe on the website is a bit mis-stepped. I was writing it down, and had to re write steps based on the video. Like cooking the puffed rice in the ring mold to caramelize? Theres no need for that as it wouldn't really keep it's shape, and to take it out of the mold to then combine it with the chocolate? Just doesn't really make sense from a bakers perspective. A lot of the time though, these recipes often have missteps that a normal person probably wouldn't catch.
It also looks relatively accessible. Making the creme anglaise is a little fidgety, but the rest seems pretty straightforward, though I'm sure mine wouldn't be nearly as pretty.
The Recipe from the Vice link is incorrect! for the dark chocolate ganache: He doesn't use 3 Tbs of Milk. And the amount of butter is incorrect at 1.5 Tbs/45g butter. As most know ganash is usually 1:1 ratio. Chocolate/Cream. for the dark chocolate ganache: *45 grams is about 3 Tbs. Also you can use a spring cake pan for this. Because who actually has a ring mold and acetate - plastic ring liner.
Les Hollands The ratio for Ganache depends on the intended use - glaze has more liquid whereas whipped Ganache for decorating will have less. The type of chocolate will also influence the liquid ratio. (White needs less dark needs more liquid)
@@thatgirlblack the video contradicts the recipe on vice website. I thought that was clear. I followed the video and posted the corrections. The recipe on Vice has mistakes for amount of Butter not Milk or Cream. If you pause the video when the camera is on the Glass bowl full of cubes of butter you can just about count them all. Clearly if you cut the butter into tablespoons slices, then 1/4 them it is much more than 6 pieces. If you cut and quarter 3Tbs of Butter this weighs 45g and Quarter them it looks correct and the weight is correct. Do you see this??????? Please compare the recipe to the video.
So I made this and we ate it today for fathers day UK. It was ok, the mousse I changed to biscoff as we don't like peanut butter and that was lovely but we weren't very keen on the crispy/chewy cereal base, I might change it to brownie or biscuit
So.many ratatouille references; He's French, Childhood memory of food made by his mother and his cook book's name is 'Everyone can cook'! Sound familiar?
i have no idea what he said but the cake amazing my birthday is coming soon i hope i can make like this is so clean by the way thanks for your lovely recipe i love baking i love the most easiest way
This cake looks so Delicious and l’m going to try this recipe choristers cake is my No# 1 Flavor so know l’ve got to try this and l know the secret to making those crunchy chocolate pieces l like in the old fashion ice cream place carvels ice cream store l think theirs still one or two are actually still in business some where. But l will give this a try maybe for my birthday next month. Thank you 🙏🏽 For a great cake recipe.😋
So, after watching this a few times now and following every step i finally made that exact cake. And i have to say: I dont like it. I dont know exactly what it is, but i have a feeling that something is missing. Maybe i expected too much and thought it would be overwhelming, but it isnt. For me the peanut is not enough pronounced, and the mousse is a bit flat.
Agreed. The recipe and his video don’t add up. The recipe says 5 egg but the directions say yolks. Also, I think it needed more peanut butter than cream for the filling.
For the transcriber: it's a crème anglaise, not a caramel glaze.
XD
I was like ... 🤔
I just thought my concept of a caramel glaze was all wrong...
Extra funny since it means: english cream (aka custard)
Individual Two Which would be called a parfait (since it always comes out perfect without crystallisation)
that was a beautiful memory he shared with us about the peanut butter.

Either way, it's in the freezer now for overnight. It'll be an ice cream cake for dessert tomorrow night.
@@bRIZZAd Yeah, the written instructions are awful -- I used them for measurements but referenced the video a lot on what to do.
Mad genious this man . What he makes and creates is out of this world
The first time I have heard a European not bad mouth America for our love of peanut butter.
@@leafillion9161 si tu as un monoprix près de chez toi, c'est là bas que je trouve mon crunchy skippy 🤤
First they mock then they copy. Same thing as how they love fast food now.
that cake was the most beautiful thing i've seen all day. thank you so much from the bottom of my heart
Combination of Chocolate & peanut butter? Oh my, we don’t need anything else.
dont forget caramel glaze
😅.. 😊😊
😅.. 😊😊
I love chocolate.
I love peanut butter.
This looks (and sounds) divine!
Had no idea what I did wrong. My mousse doesn’t turn out as smooth as his. Even though I melted the gelatins separately and mixed in the peanut butter mixture. After it cooled down, it started to get very hard so I put it in the microwave to warm a bit then mixed in the heavy cream. But it still had chunky pieces inside. I just hope the flavor is good enough and edible. It’s in the freezer now and will do the ganache part the next day
I like this guy, he smiles, has amazing knife skills and sound knowledge.
This man has like 100 resteraunts around the world called "Dominique Ansel Bakery"
Oh goodness...I just love the ease and confidence he has a baker!😍
wawww that looks so delicious, no ways to lose weight!! stay safe
I love his book I use it all the time.
Wait, he’s the guy who made the cronut and a bunch of other desserts that literally became trendy
Yeah he's a genius when it comes to this stuff.
Cute, too.
I wonder if he's gay? The best man always are.
@@CattyMcMeow well too bad he’s not gay. has a long term gf
I totally made this. I added a layer of salted caramel before putting on a double layer ganache. To die for!!! Then I went right online and bought the book, can’t wait to bake more, I wish there were videos to all the recipes, I love how easy he makes it look and the joy of baking that he exudes.
How'd you make the salted caramel layer? Haha I'm gonna try this tomorrow!
Johanan 1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Heat both in a sauce pan until sugar dissolves, then whisk in
1/4 cup unsalted butter
and bring to a boil. Cook caramel until golden/ dark in color. Remove from heat, stir in
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 to 1 tsp salt
Cool, pour and enjoy!
Hello, after you poured your salted caramel layer did you then set it in the fridge or freezer and for how long before pouring the ganache, also how long did you leave first ganache before doing second layer. Many Thanks.
@@coolioobi5755 my caramel was very thick to begin with so I just let it set at room temp for ten minutes. The ganache I let rest in the fridge for an hour until it was firm
Thank you. Can you post the ingredients recipe for Dominique's Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch Cake, as per the book, as this would clear up all the mistakes everyone is making by using the utube-directed recipe? Thanks again!
My man's tempering eggs with reckless abandon. I love it.
This is easy on the eyes and disaster for my waist line. Beautiful.
What else he used for the bottom part? It’s not only puffed rice! Corn flakes maybe?
It was so fast cooking and i loved the cake😍🤤
Anyone else tried this recipe for a dinner party thinking, “this looks doable” and then deeply regretted it?
What a humble man. Love
He has a curious French/American accent.
The way he says "wadder" instead of "water" does sound very American, yep.
Logical, born in France and learned English when he came to New-York ...
@@louarino1118 LOL, I think that's obvious. I don't think anyone was asking HOW he had a strange accent. #statingtheobvious
Coffee and chocolate cake is what I live for actually and always searching for the perfect combination
Dominique had a fullass ratatouille moment while eating peanut butter
Going to his bakery in SoHo NYC was on my bucket list when visiting NYC the first time ! It was a dream come true to taste his Cronut and Caneles ! Later I found his creation at Caesar’s in Las Vegas which was such a pleasant surprise ! I will check out his book !
I have a tia that would make something just like this , I was a summer time treat
Hi Dominique, I made this delicious cake for birthday, I followed all the easy instructions and the result was amazing. Thank you.
So, I tried this recipe, and while delicious, it seemed that the gelatin didn't quite combine and gave a slightly lumpy texture in some spots. I know its not scrambled egg bits because I strained it once. The problem may have been that the recipe on the website says to add the peanut butter THEN the gelatin, where the video shows it the other way around. I'm guessing that it doesn't combine fully if the peanut butter cools the mixture first, and makes it more difficult to whisk. Might want to change the recipe if somebody more knowledgeable agrees that it could be the issue. Will have to try again either way!
thanks for the feedback! i'm looking to make it this week also
You can melt the gelatin in a microwave then combine with the liquid mixture.
@@MusTangZBaka this.
Always improvise what you see in recipes and bend the ingredients to fit your needs.
thank you for the feedback!! i have some baking experience and i'd say you're definitely right, adding the gelatin before the peanut butter like in the video would ensure that the final mousse turns out nice and smooth
@@nuclearbananas3 Gotta be what my problem was. I felt so stupid when I realized. I had a roast in and wasn't really thinking about the steps. Just following them exactly..
What's so genius about this dessert is how simple it actually is. Brilliant guy
Unholy... jeez that looks way too good !
Made this and it came out pretty good. Have to figure out how to make sure the crust stays crunchy.
Used leftover ganache to dip strawberries in.
The recipe on the website is a bit mis-stepped. I was writing it down, and had to re write steps based on the video. Like cooking the puffed rice in the ring mold to caramelize? Theres no need for that as it wouldn't really keep it's shape, and to take it out of the mold to then combine it with the chocolate? Just doesn't really make sense from a bakers perspective. A lot of the time though, these recipes often have missteps that a normal person probably wouldn't catch.
Mary Jane Barela should I use the website measurement but the step from the chef?
Lylia Wang Yup! Also, the recipe doesn’t diverge too much from the video but it’s useful to write down the recipe while watching the video.
Mary Jane Barela thx
I'm more blown away by the neat tips and trips he showcased in this video :)
With home quarantine in effect, this cake looks even more amazing. Best food porn of the day 😄😋👍
It also looks relatively accessible. Making the creme anglaise is a little fidgety, but the rest seems pretty straightforward, though I'm sure mine wouldn't be nearly as pretty.
Only Asians would eat this garbage
Need to add this video to cakehub
@@samlsd9711 no u
I will try this at home! It looks easy, it's pretty simple and of course delicius!
Is this puffed rice equivalent to rice krispies?
That’s what it is
I think I could actually make this. He made it look so easy, with simple ingredients. Great recipe.
The Recipe from the Vice link is incorrect!
for the dark chocolate ganache:
He doesn't use 3 Tbs of Milk. And the amount of butter is incorrect at 1.5 Tbs/45g butter. As most know ganash is usually 1:1 ratio. Chocolate/Cream.
for the dark chocolate ganache:
*45 grams is about 3 Tbs.
Also you can use a spring cake pan for this. Because who actually has a ring mold and acetate - plastic ring liner.
Les Hollands The ratio for Ganache depends on the intended use - glaze has more liquid whereas whipped Ganache for decorating will have less. The type of chocolate will also influence the liquid ratio. (White needs less dark needs more liquid)
acetate is easier to find that spring cake pans, and you can cut it to any size
What kind of cream can I use? Whipping cream?
@@ruthmacias heavy cream is whipping cream at your grocery store.
@@thatgirlblack the video contradicts the recipe on vice website. I thought that was clear. I followed the video and posted the corrections. The recipe on Vice has mistakes for amount of Butter not Milk or Cream. If you pause the video when the camera is on the Glass bowl full of cubes of butter you can just about count them all. Clearly if you cut the butter into tablespoons slices, then 1/4 them it is much more than 6 pieces. If you cut and quarter 3Tbs of Butter this weighs 45g and Quarter them it looks correct and the weight is correct. Do you see this??????? Please compare the recipe to the video.
So I made this and we ate it today for fathers day UK. It was ok, the mousse I changed to biscoff as we don't like peanut butter and that was lovely but we weren't very keen on the crispy/chewy cereal base, I might change it to brownie or biscuit
who the hell doesnt like peanut butter?
So.many ratatouille references; He's French, Childhood memory of food made by his mother and his cook book's name is 'Everyone can cook'! Sound familiar?
Those are all very generic, but sure, because he's french: Ratatouille! 😂
is the book for ratatouille but with only cakes?
Book a la Gusteau
The best pastry chef in the world 👌
Much as I love junk food .Imma need some ginger tea to wash it down with
i have no idea what he said but the cake amazing my birthday is coming soon i hope i can make like this is so clean by the way thanks for your lovely recipe i love baking i love the most easiest way
This cake looks so Delicious and l’m going to try this recipe choristers cake is my No# 1 Flavor so know l’ve got to try this and l know the secret to making those crunchy chocolate pieces l like in the old fashion ice cream place carvels ice cream store l think theirs still one or two are actually still in business some where.
But l will give this a try maybe for my birthday next month.
Thank you 🙏🏽
For a great cake recipe.😋
Add some full stops in there
Peanut butter! Chocolate! Great when separate, but when they combine they make everytime epic!
He’d make such a handsome, ideal husband, just making cakes and pastries all day.
Bravo Dominique, un régal pour les yeux ! :)
I remember when he was last on I still think about the pastries he made lol
I love good quality peanut butter deserts
The only thing as smooth as that ganachè is his silky voice. I could listen to him read a dictionary!
The dessert also looks scrumptious
Thanks for the recipe 🙂 I was able to make for my husband's birthday
So, after watching this a few times now and following every step i finally made that exact cake.
And i have to say:
I dont like it. I dont know exactly what it is, but i have a feeling that something is missing. Maybe i expected too much and thought it would be overwhelming, but it isnt.
For me the peanut is not enough pronounced, and the mousse is a bit flat.
Agreed. The recipe and his video don’t add up. The recipe says 5 egg but the directions say yolks. Also, I think it needed more peanut butter than cream for the filling.
Wowzers!!! That’s the most beautiful cake!-
At least this is not your ordinary dessert with just added "EDIBLE GOLD THINGY" 🙄🙄🙄
