Once again you've taken what looks like a daunting task and broken it down into doable steps. As a side comment, I caught a YT interview that you did with two guys, which made me feel good, because you gave shout out to the importance of home economics classes. That is what I taught for my whole career---36 years. I loved it for several reasons. I got closer to my students than if I were teaching some other subjects----you probably found that with art classes. In PA the subject is now Family and Consumer Sciences, if it is taught at all.
Last time I made this I solved the problem of the merengue breaking apart when you cut into it; I made the bottom disc as normal but the other two layers I piped 6 triangles instead of a disc (12 in total) then assembled the triangles back into a circle shape after baking. When cutting a wedge the top and middle cut easily since they were baked separately and only the bottom disc needed cutting.
That's a good idea, could just make a triangle piece of paper proper sized so you got an outline too. My thought process was to just make smaller cookie sized versions is there any reason why. I wouldn't want to do it that way? Aside from having to assemble multiple? Lol
This looks amazing and I look forward to making this and using your technique with the triangles. I do this the same pulsing lightly toasted cooled walnuts. I make 7-8 layers and use chocolate whipped cream instead of buttercream in between the layers and then frost entire cake with the chocolate whipped cream, using powered sugar instead of granulated sugar in the cream . Then decorate with chocolate shavings. I use melted Baker Sweet Chocolate adding 2 teaspoons of vanilla and 1/4 cup unsalted butter and cool down before adding to the whipped cream. When you refrigerate for at least 6 hours the layers will deflate somewhat but it changes the meringue and will cut like a cake. I did this for my sisters small wedding cake. It is a basic chocolate angel pie made into a cake. His recipe for the dacquoise is perfect and I love his videos
🙋♀️This recipe reminds me of "Company Dessert " from the Busy Bee Restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri. When the restaurant closed, the recipe was published in the newspaper. My great aunt's neighbour, who was originally from St. Louis, shared it with my great aunt. I've loved it since my first taste one Thanksgiving, when I was very young. I have the recipe, in my great aunt's handwriting. I most often use berries and sometimes plain, no fruit. Sorry so long. I just wanted to share this memory with other preppy kitchen followers.😊
I made my first dacquoise for my brother’s 21st, i was 13! It was a hazelnut (italian meringue, because, well, i am italian and thats how i was taught to make meringue) dark chocolate grated over mascarpone cream and lots of peaches and strawberries….not too dissimilar. It began a lifelong love for this kind of torta and i am still proud of the cake made with love by that little girl. Thankyou for reminding me. You are amazing John, i love your passion
@@PreppyKitchenJohn, would you make a knock off of the McDonald's strawberry cream pies? I hate McDonald's but my gf made me try the pies and now i get them CONSTANTLY.
Yikes John!!!! This looks AH-mazing💕 I will be making this I do believe lol, thank you for sharing with us. Waiting patiently for the next video to magically appear. Enjoy your week and upcoming weekend with your wonderful children and hubby.💕 🎂Tina🎂
You again have made me feel as though I could actually make this. I have never baked a meringue before except as a top for pies. It does look like a lot of steps and work but it also looks well worth it in every way. I have your book, so I’ll watch this video again while trying this out. Peach season is in the near future here! Thank you ❤
Man yesss. Stone fruits are so good i feel like they don't get the attention they deserve at all in recipes (besides peaches)More recipes should use them.
I’m really impressed by the Mr. Black- it tastes like actual coffee unlike some of their well-known competitors. Definitely less sweet so I add a bit of simple syrup to balance my espresso martini
John, I stumbled upon this video while I was trying to learn about daquoise. I was searching for chocolate hazelnut daquoise and your video appeared a few videos down the list. I think RUclips knows I watch a ton of your content .😂 You always explain things to perfection so I knew I would learn a lot from the video although I was planning a different kind of daquoise. Lo and behold the beauty of seeing you make French buttercream the Swiss Meringue buttercream way. I’m ecstatic! I have so wanted to make your French buttercream while simultaneously so not wanted to get involved with 240F sugar syrup. I learned about the Stella Parks recipe but have not tried it. Now though I can actually watch you using a very similar method and since I always use your SMBC recipe I’m very familiar with it already. I plan to use this for a layer cake. I think most people like to use it as a filling but not so much a frosting. However, you have the great tip of assembling it while the buttercream is chilled. I think it’s worth a try as a frosting making sure to keep the assembled cake refrigerated to keep the frosting in good shape and only taking the cake out maybe an hour before serving. Thank you Chef! You made my day.😊
Hi John, this looks absolutely beautiful and I want to try to make this, even though the merengue is kinda intimidating. I do have a question, however, where did you find those beautiful measuring spoons (yeah, I know the spoons should not be the focus).
Yep, that's how I'd do it too. I make Pavlova often. At least with Pavlova once it's cut it's still in one piece due to its structure. This may taste good but I like my desserts to taste and look good. Especially if I'm spending so much time making it, lol. If you get a chance to make them I hope it's every bit as good as it looks pre-cut, lol. Happy baking...
If you make small cookie sized versions of this so you dont have to cut it up, how well would they hold up in the fridge? Im assuming just hold off on whipped cream and the buttercream might be a little thick?
@@PreppyKitchen thank you for getting back to me! I appreciate the info, and love the content man. I don't do a ton of baking but I want to start doing more and your videos are not only just fun to watch but amazingly informative and really nice to be able to follow along to lol 🤙
Dacquoise kind of looks like macarons on steroids! The meringues would be mega easy to do if you have one of those ovens that runs on a timer, as you could set it to bake and then go to bed. 😀
I think both would work but peanut might have too strong of a flavour. The only concern I have is sunflower seeds are a little fattier than almonds but it’s worth trying.
"I mention this cause it happened to me!" you're so funny, and you make me want to try all your recipes, but I don't have kids and I can't eat all that sugar, I wish you did more savory things so I actually COULD try all your stuff...
Thank you! I have tons of savory recipes on the blog and lots on the channel too. Try checking out some of the savory playlists when you have some time.
I am not gay at all. Yet, there is nothing I cannot cook. I was born to cook. I am well versed with cooking all kinds of delectable chicken kormas, lamb kormas, paneer that is to say cottage cheese curries, delectable italian and french chicken dishes like chicken cacciatore, chicken peperonata, marry me chicken, creamy chicken contadina, chicken milano, chicken Provencal, and chicken oregano to name a few. I can also cook excellently some delectable french beef dishes like beef bourguignon and burgundy beef. I love cooking with almond butter as well as cashew butter. I feel rather strongly that just because a guy can cook excellently that does not mean he is really gay. There are also some straight guys that love to cook. I am not caucasian or European at all. Rather, I am an Indian catholic of Portuguese descent from Mumbai, India who has been blessed with excellent cooking skills.

Using french buttercream is brilliant! Great way to use up the yolks!

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Looks great.. to advanced for me tho ❤
The first part looked so much like a torrone the i started to drool
You should try a 10k dessert challenge ❤
I ❤ these recipes!🎉 if you are making them Britain 🇬🇧 or Europe 🇪🇺 are the American 🇺🇲 ingredients hard to navigate? Thanks for any advice! 😃👍👊
In Canada we also call it Berry Sugar for super fine sugar, is it so where you are?
Hi John, this looks absolutely beautiful and I want to try to make this, even though the merengue is kinda intimidating. I do have a question, however, where did you find those beautiful measuring spoons (yeah, I know the spoons should not be the focus).
Delicious, where can I find your book?
Hi! There are links in the description box but you can buy on Amazon
Nice 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
@@PreppyKitchen welcam
I’m anemic in my third trimester. Can you make something super iron rich but tasty?
OK, you can hand that whisk over to me right now, John Kanell. No questions asked.
I would make this but in small single server sizes so I don't have to cut it
Yep, that's how I'd do it too. I make Pavlova often. At least with Pavlova once it's cut it's still in one piece due to its structure. This may taste good but I like my desserts to taste and look good. Especially if I'm spending so much time making it, lol.

Love that idea
No words to describe John thank you very much God bless nd your family
This looks delicious. I have a stone fruit allergy, can i just use the berries or would the berries not be enough for this wonderful dessert.
Any summer fruit your love will be great!
cool
If you make small cookie sized versions of this so you dont have to cut it up, how well would they hold up in the fridge? Im assuming just hold off on whipped cream and the buttercream might be a little thick?
They hold up well actually it you use berries then the juice wont's soften them as much since the stonefruit weeps a bit.
@@PreppyKitchen thank you for getting back to me! I appreciate the info, and love the content man. I don't do a ton of baking but I want to start doing more and your videos are not only just fun to watch but amazingly informative and really nice to be able to follow along to lol 🤙
Mr. Black doesn't ship or sell to my state, what's a good substitute? This kind of reminds me of a chocotorta in the way your dessert is put together.
Dacquoise kind of looks like macarons on steroids! The meringues would be mega easy to do if you have one of those ovens that runs on a timer, as you could set it to bake and then go to bed. 😀
Oh.M.G😃😀😀😀😀😀😍
I'm allergic to tree nuts, do you think peanuts or sunflower seeds would work in this recipe?
I think both would work but peanut might have too strong of a flavour. The only concern I have is sunflower seeds are a little fattier than almonds but it’s worth trying.
Matcha cookies pleaseeee🥹
This needs to happen soon.
Time to give me that whisk again so I clean it off for the next step. 😄
Hahaha, thanks June! Whisk duty is my favorite.
225c or 225f?

Anyone else think the yellow dollops were deviled egg filling when you saw the thumbnail? 😝
LOLOLOL, OMG
Me knowing darn well it's called a dacquoise: "stonefruit and berry daiquiri"
WAIT, but that sounds so refreshing/I need it now. LOLOL
