@@dirtyunclehubert I'm actually not all that concerned about the thought of "unscientific" farts. I am, however, concerned that for them to be called such, there must also be "scientific" farts. And that worries me greatly.
I was busy working on my life and now i stumble again on one of your videos, i remember when i was a broke ass high school student i always watched your videos, literally each and every one of them to vibe up whatever food im having. Now i got a job and a family. Will binge watch again and try your recipes. Thanks Chef John for making my meals memorable.
thanks chef john!! this is exactly what I was looking for. I remembered that one of my dad's friends used to prepare it for us and his kids when we were... h! I said: kids only, I wanted something lighter, to server with my syruped limes, so I used 1.5 cups milk and only 3/4 cup heavy cream - and that work just fine! and the "plating" trick at the end was so awesome, I used it!! and with a small syrupy lime slice on top? was devine! thanks for sharing!!
"A proven, unscientific fact..." You are the best, Chef John.😁 Its the same when you make Ganache. You pour the hot cream over the chocolate and little piece of butter and when you wait and finally begin to stir it looks as though it will never come together. Suddenly, its transformed into a rich, brown, silky pool. A feast for the eyes.
Dear Chef John, Recently, I’ve been showered by many flashy youtube videos that came to a point where I was no longer seeing youtube suggestions relating to Food Wishes anymore. For heavens, it feels so good to remember my way back into the inspiring curious world of Food Wishes and good old fashion sarcasm. Thanks for keeping up the channel and I do love cooking mainly due to your videos. I just had to gush out my fan boggling here before going on a video splurge to catch up all that I’ve missed!
So I took the time to actually make this for Valentine's Day and it turned out amazing. It was just the two of us so I halved the recipe. Came out absolutely decadent and yes... A little bit goes a long way. I used a mix of raspberry dark chocolate and nice quality dark chocolate chips. The halved recipe makes 3 so we saved one for you chef.
I don't make any of these recipes however I watch this channel. Chefs voice has calming effect on me. I find it quite relaxing. In these stressful times I find solace in this channel. Thanks chef John god bless you.
I made these today for my honey. Simply ah-maz-ing! Through these videos, Chef John has changed me from a take-out and hotdog cook to someone that can actually cook. Thank you!!!
This was best the desert, thanks for sharing the recipe. I will definitely be doing this recipe again; Chef John is right it is super rich a small amount goes a long way. I used milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate and glad I did, due to the dessert being so rich.
I made this (with 6 ounces of Ghirardelli 60% cacao morsels and 2 ounces Lindt 90% cacao chocolate, chopped, and a quarter teaspoon of almond extract added to the cream). It was excellent, but so rich and filling, I honestly wouldn't have minded stretching the recipe out to 8 portions rather than 6.
I have had this at a top local restaurant with the cayenne a more significant factor and it was actually quite interesting! So don’t be afraid to add a little more than a pinch and put a kick in that puddino. You are, after all, the captain of your cayenne! Thanks again, Chef John, for all the great help in the kitchen.
I made this yesterday and I just wanted to say: 1. Delicious. 10/10 would recommend. 2. He’s not lying when he says you should pour smaller portions. This is RICH rich! 3. Definitely add the whipped cream. The lightness really helps balance out the richness of the pudding. (I added a pinch of sugar tho) Thanks for this awesome recipe!
The weird think stuck to the yolk is called a “chalaza” and it’s just a piece of the white with a little more protein in it that helps hold the yolk in the center of the shell
The best and easiest to separate yolks from whites if you have several to do is to crack them all into a bowl together and then use a spider spatula to fish out the yolks. Works perfect every time.
The easiest way to separate yolks from the white is by cracking it in half and slipping the yolk back and forth between the shell halves allowing the white to flow out. That way you keep your hands clean. And its faster.
I made these for my mom's birthday and they turned out wonderfully. Easy to make. I had to make a couple of substitutions (imitation vanilla, and red chili powder instead of cayenne) and it was fine. To garnish, I chopped up a few of the extra chocolate chips and lightly sprinkled them on top. Made 7 cups instead of 6. My mom had two portions. :)
With what's basically custard and cream Chef John's made a chocolaty dream With so few dirty dishes This Chef of Food Wishes Has once more struck gold it wd seem
@@wiggelpuppy5474 well, I'm always in a hurry to see your limerick, it's always welcome light relief, as is Chef John's channel.. I love the positivity
I made something similar, but with half dark chips and half chopped Andes mints and poured the mixture into an oreo cookie pie crust then whipped cream around the edge and chocolate drizzled over it. I'm making this tonight
Me neither, Chef John! I never temper the eggs. I made a banana pudding, yesterday, and thought, “Why do the extra steps?!” This method always works for me.
Not only does this look excellent as is, it could also be customised in basically endless ways. Fresh fruit, wafers, nuts, biscuits, maybe a caramel sauce for those of us with a sweet tooth, the world's your oyster!
gorgeous recipe. like how the chef cuts through unnecessary steps. I have tried quite a few preparations of this chef, and they all work wonderfully. thanks chef
Straining/sifting everything is very important. After making puddings on the stove and doing the tempering thing for years, I now make this in a microwave, cooking at 3 min intervals, usually a total of 6 minutes. It's perfect.
Or fresh pasta - 2 servings needs 3 egg yolks, 1 whole egg, 1 cup AP flour, pinch of salt. Mix into a dough and knead until smooth. Wrap and let it rest - 20 minutes to overnight (use fridge). Roll out and cut. Cooks in 2-3 minutes in boiling water.
Still suffering from post-Covid symptoms and desiring a small, sweet chocolaty something for a very special Valentine❤️ who happens to be my husband of 44 years, and knowing I can’t do much right now, Chef John came to my rescue! Thank you Chef, for the video🙏🏼
@@eyeYQ2 it's the tail of the sperm cell. Like in all animals, only the head contains genetic material and thus, only the head enters the egg. No pun intended.

This is delicious. Put it in the freezer and boom you have ice cream. The only thing I would say is this: don’t underestimate how long the egg mixture needs to cook for. It’s a custard so it’s got to thicken quite a bit. More than 5mins for sure.
I wanted to suggest the cheat of chocolate mousse with silky tofu but then I saw _The_ Platonic Ideal of consistency and texture. Wow, Pavlovian and I'm not even hungry.

Thank you, another big hit from Chef John. You always make delicious recipes and show how easy they can be for anyone to put together. I always learn something from all of your videos and the jokes are just gravy
can confirm that despite the trouble in this video, that's the best way to separate eggs. passing them between the shells is a nice way to puncture the yolk on a sharp piece of shell.
O.k. Chef John, we were driving home and I get a notification ping, honey looks and me and says “What’s that?:”. I said food Wishes, Chef John and Italian Chocolate Pudding, we both said “sounds yummy and rich”. Finally home and got to watch. NOT disappointed. Thanks.
I had a dream that there was a dessert food made with sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa. In case any of you want to make it a reality... I’m just pudding it out there.
I love when Chef John says, "a little touch of sugar" then dumps in a cup full of sugar
It cracks me up every time!
I laughed
Gordon Ramsay: add a tough of olive oil.
*dumps in a gallon*
Lol, I thought the same thing.
Me too! Well ... that was my 2nd thought - I was beginning to wonder if he'd ever finish a sentence?
"Your Valentine will be happy and satisfied, at least when it comes to dessert" - shots fired by Chef John !!!!
That line was gold
Love it!
Proven unscientific facts are why I came. Chocolate Puddino is why I stayed.

Thank you for being a cornerstone of the cooking community for over a decade
Excess egg whites go great in vanilla cupcakes, as they make the whitest, purest looking sponge texture.
Just keep stirring and mashing,mixing and smashing. Chief John's words of wisdom to live by.😊
The weird think stuck to the yolk is called a “chalaza” and it’s just a piece of the white with a little more protein in it that helps hold the yolk in the center of the shell
I thought that it was called albumin.. 🤔
The equivalent structure in humans is called the "connecting stalk"
Nature’s bungee cord.
Just like trumpie did for the last four plus years, just repeating what a friend said, btw he knows of a pizza joint in DC...
@@annajoie700 the whole white is called albumin, the white, condensed connecting parts are called chalazae

The only thing egg white omelets are good for is showing how much you don't deserve the person you are serving the egg white omelet to.

Hi Chef John. Normally I don't 'do' sweets but because you made it look so easy I made this for my wifey for valentines and it went down a treat.

gorgeous recipe. like how the chef cuts through unnecessary steps. I have tried quite a few preparations of this chef, and they all work wonderfully. thanks chef
I so agree. I like the way he simplifies classic techniques and uses fewer dishes.
