I'm Ariel, a Food Scientist (BS) and Plant Breeder (PhD) by training. I've recently developed a strong interest in confectionery science, and I'm using this RU-vid channel and my Instagram account (@withtrialanderror) to document and share what I've learned with the internet.
Great video. I really appreciated the footnote at the end: unfortunately, the same can be applied to many pastry and bakery products. Most artisanal pasta makers were obliterated sooner...
With all the unintentionally tacky/gaudy and hyper-inflated on-screen personas developed out of a deep desperation towards appealing to the least worthy but most common denominator (those who absolutely require obnoxious amounts of audio/visual/host-personality stimulation in all of their viewed content), this is refreshing and different.
hop into the cooking idc that X made a video about it Too im here for your spin on it, right? Jump into the content! also show somethng on the screen you infront of a computer on a food video is mid at best.
What do you think about Joshua Weissman's method? He makes honeycomb candy first and mixes it with some peanut butter. Will his method achieve a similar texture to yours?
I would absolutely love to see you make the coconut version of this... the ones that are similar to this, but that are made with white chocolate instead of milk/dark chocolate, are filled with a coconut cream, and then the outside is covered with shredded coconut... but they still have a nut in the center... I think it's an almond...
Oh, how I can relate to “smashing” a bonbon as they are unmolded! Have this happen more often than I want. Been doing this for about a year and a half. Really impresses people with colored cocoa butters on the chocolates.
I love, love, LOVE your channel! I'm so geeky about the chemistry behind confectionary and baking ❤❤❤ I hope this channel is still active? I noticed your last video was a year old. Pleease make more content, this is gold! 🤭🤩 Thank you!
AAAAAAA AME ME ENCANTO que lindo ver todo el proceso y lo real que fue, a veces necesitamos más videos como estos para no olvidarnos de lo real ❤️ me encantó buen video
Here in New Zealand 2024, I found a catering store that sells Callebaut Couverture 65%chocolate 2.5Kg for $109NZD. That means 5kg $218NZD = $130USD. It is so, so expensive to make high quality artisinal confectionery, ganache, glazes etc at home. However it's a lot cheaper than buying them ready made.
Still not a bad price. About what I spend here in the States. Love your country. Beautiful scenery and wonderful people. Spent a fortnight there several years back.
when the duct tape came out I spat out my tea in laughter! Well done! Please do not tap your moulds so hard, you will end up cracking them over time. If they are stubborn and have not released tap lightly 30 or 40 times them the other way up a bit, or try to twist the mould a little bit. also try to mould your chocolates using colder moulds, i.e don't use the heat gun on them. you may also be putting your ganache in too hot which is melting the chocolate a bit causing it to expand and making them stick...
hi there do u have any guideline for the ratio filling? say my mould is 10g, and am putting 2 layers which is fruit gel & ganache.. how many grams should I put them in?
Isopropyl alcohol is not edible and leaves a residue. Use EverClear or 151 Proof, just so you don't hurt your body while eating chocolates! A beautiful death I know, but better if you could live longer to eat more chocolates. All the best from a chocoholic xoxo
Fantastic video Ariel! Ferrero Rocher are one of my favorite chocolates. Would love another video like this breaking down how to make Mon Cheri, also from Ferrero and among my favorites. Keep up with the awesome work!
Very nice video!! thanks for share! when using invertase for this product the results are liquid fondant,is possible to use less quantity to get a harder fluidity? like in a mint slices chocolat bombons?
I'm from Naples wich right now is probably the home of the babà, we adopted it during the French occupation and developed the recipe further. From what I can see there are some mistakes: first of all you used AP Flour, you must use a flour with higher protein content and a 350W at least, and then you should let your dough to accept the liquids and fat before adding more, otherwise you'll get a rich cake batter...and yes the rum syrup has to be hot (golden rule: babà cold/syrup hot).
