Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.
You can find all my recipes on my website at www.yourhomebasedmom.com.#smallbatchrecipes #cookingfortwo #smallbatchcooking

Looks good, you don't see many recipes where the whole egg is blended in, I was expecting it to be separated

@LeighAnneWilkes 9 ай бұрын

You use the whole egg - enjoy!

The recipe I have you separate the eggs and cook the yolk with the chocolate, then cool it, whip the white and then fold in the egg whites. I think that is a bit safer than completely raw. You can also use egg substitute which is pasteurized.

Love you, love your recipes but the raw egg is a little disturbing. Instead of saying if you don’t eat raw eggs then just don’t make it, maybe you could have suggested egg replacements.

@russbear31 9 ай бұрын

You could probably make this without the eggs. It's French Silk Pie because it's basically French chocolate mousse in a pie crust. Classic French mousse recipes contain raw eggs. But there are modern recipes out there for "egg-free chocolate mousse" for people who are squeamish about raw eggs. It's basically chocolate-flavored whipped cream. You could probably stabilize the whipped cream with gelatin. I've never tried this but that's where I would begin to experiment if I wanted to make an egg-free, faux French Silk Pie.

I actually do give a replacement idea - to use pasteurized eggs , which have been heated. Glad you enjoy the recipes.

@susancollins9074 9 ай бұрын

Pasteurized raw eggs are STILL raw eggs.

@LeighAnneWilkes 9 ай бұрын

@@susancollins9074 That is true but they are heated in warm water baths using controlled time and temperature, to destroy any bacteria that might be present and the USDA web site says "in-shell pasteurized eggs may be used safely without cooking." But it sounds like this recipe is not for you. Hope you enjoy. my other recipes.

@@susancollins9074 the recipe calls for a certain ingredient and the baker believes it important enough to the recipe that it is not negotiable. it'd be like suggesting you substitute the butter in a recipe, or the flour. and the baker is kind enough to include the disclosure at the very beginning of the video.
