Ever wonder what it’s like to recreate a viral recipe without tasting it? Gesine took on the challenge of remaking the Olympic Village chocolate muffins using only her baking expertise and intuition. Would you try this at home? 🍫✨
I am one minute into this friggin video and I LOVE IT!!! Love the science behind the baking AND the woman explaining everything so far is doing an amazing job!
Those look SO good!...and I LOVE the" Law & Order" sound effects...always learn so much from these videos...and they are fun and entertaining...the ooey gooey nature of these has me🤤
I get them in bulk at a discount as a professional. For 5 kg of the ganache chocolate, it's about $100. It's definitely more expensive when you buy retail. 😩
"Hey, Lennie, the lab says they found a partial on the Valrhona bag. They also found drops of a sticky substance, maybe maple syrup. We traced it back to a place in Vermont.” “Let’s pay them a visit.” Dun dun.
You can use Guittard or Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolates, which are readily available at the grocery store. I mention that in the recipe in the description! They aren't couverture but they will work beautifully for ganache either way.
For the cocoa, make sure what you get says "Dutched" or "Dutch process" on the packaging. it's almost always available in the baking aisle at the store.
Why does every chocolate cake recipe seem to include coffee? I do not like coffee and can 99% of the time notice the coffee taste. Is there a way around it?
Yes! You can use water instead. Warm to hot water. Coffee is a sympathetic ingredient to chocolate, enhancing the flavor, but some people called "super tasters" or people who really don't care for coffee, can be overwhelmed by the flavor while others don't taste it at all and just get the effects of the enhancements. Coffee also has acids present that help with the leavening in the baking soda, so you can add a 1/2 teaspoon more of a weak acid into the soured milk to make up for it.
@ thank you! I am a super taster actually, so that explains it. I used to be able to identify the wine type, region and year/era when I was able to drink, just from the smell - I live surrounded by three wine regions in Australia, Adelaide. I can still taste when food I don’t like has been cut with the same knife as food I’m eating without that ingredient. It’s my sad super power.

Sorry the sounds effects are just irritating

The sound effects are just the icing (ganache) on (in) the cake (muffin). Love it.
