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.

@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 ❤️

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.

Some places just have the prices quite high for what it is, and some places money just isn't worth much.

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.

@maryjanebarela8471 4 жыл бұрын

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.

@pyrotechnologist1 4 жыл бұрын

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

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.

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

@@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.

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.
