  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
  • Dominique Ansel, James Beard Award-winning pastry chef, teaches us how to make his signature Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch Cake from his new book, "Everyone Can Bake." This easy and almost no-bake cake starts with a base layer of caramelized puffed rice, which is then topped with homemade peanut butter mousse, and finished with a thin layer of chocolate ganache.

    This guy is arguably the best pastry chef in the world and he definitely understands how good he is but at the end when he looks at the camera people for validation and praise I can't even believe how humble and innocent that was.

      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

    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. I had my mom try it, she yelped „it’s grams banana bread“ when she tried it. 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 ❤️

      @@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.

That has no correlation to the ability to buy what can be a relatively cheap product. Its a luxury in quite a few places, but that doesn't mean that those places are instantly incredibly poor and struggling to survive. Some places just have the prices quite high for what it is, and some places money just isn't worth much. The average person's ability to buy something is influenced by way more factors than "they live in an undeveloped country."

    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

    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

    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.

    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!

      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.

    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.

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.

    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.
