Sorry for delayed posting of recipe, had to hurriedly cook something else for the family. I'd make this again first chance, freaking awesome dessert

I didn't know vice had food and recipes.

Is there a physical magazine/ print edition?

Are there any weird, sarcastic, neo hipster- early articles/ recipes?

Should I be frequent the site more than Bon Appetite since it's gotten boring there?

Ever since conde nast got rid of gourmet magazine, i've felt there aren't any worthwhile food magazines.

That particular recipe is in, or at least all the parts to make it, Dominique Ansel's book "Everyone Can Bake."

Great book with components to make all sorts of tasty desserts.

It's kinda ridiculous that the Kindle version is just 50 cents less than the hardcover. Maybe I haven't bought any books on Amazon lately but that is an outrage. Time to find the pirated pdf, I guess.

Wow, not as much sugar as I expected. And dark chocolate not milk chocolate. Cool

Dominique Ansel's style is more French than American. Less sweet but everything I've made out of his book as been delicious. I even prefer making his French buttercream vs what most Americans associate with buttercream.

Exactly. Almost on the level of the Japanese desserts; sweetness is tertiary

Thanks a lot for posting that! Even without having read the recipe I know it‘s gonna be a bang.

This looks awesome.

However, watching the video, I cringed at how much of the ingredients were wasted / not used. About 1/rd of the pb mousse was left over, maybe 1/4th of the puffed rice, 1/2 of the ganache?

I guess that's not really a problem if you make large quantities or make the recipe every other day, because then you can reuse the left-overs. But for something done occasionally, it seems like quite the overhead.

There is nothing better than peanut butter. I'd love some of that cake!

Yes there is... Peanut butter and chocolate

Is that cheesecake or ice cream?

Notesh OP t1_iu8dvr2 wrote

Neither, it's a peanut butter mouse made of creme patissiere with whipped cream and... peanut butter

ShutUpAndEatWithMe t1_iu9n4p3 wrote

How much of the mousse did you have left over? The video had maybe ¼-⅓ of the movie left on the bowl, but it would depend on the height of your cake mold/acetate

Notesh OP t1_iu9rw4r wrote

Yeah they gave him a short ring or whatnot. I had none left, just a half cup of ganache

GooGirl137 t1_iu8m3a9 wrote

Question: why is the puffed rice pressed into the pan to shape it, then broken up to coat it in the chocolate only to have to shape it again?

2

Notesh OP t1_iu8m9th wrote

I went with the video on that one. He bakes it spread on a baking sheet and only then mixes with chocolate and presses it into the pan. Way more efficient

How fall apart was the bottom layer? When I made it, it couldn't help but fall apart around the edges and I wonder if I should've used more corn syrup.

kisscumbag t1_iu8pweg wrote

Looks delicious, but for the puffed rice layer you might as well go all in and use marshmallows instead of corn syrup.
