Today we're attempting a recipe from one off my favorite shows. Enjoy the show.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you say you'll "edit that part out" and then you don't! You said that on a previous video, too! That needs to be your trademark on EVERY VIDEO! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@PaulDixon-te9ys]

This channel is great.

[@aLGOL4EVER]

Seems like your confidence is improving. It won't be long and you will be having friends over for dinner. BTW, My wife and I are watching you from Spain.

[@garycottam4157]

Look who's having fun lol. Well done Erica 👍

[@Melo.maniak]

When in doubt. "It'll be fine."

[@Cartier_specialist]

I've never seen a KZbin channel blow up so fast. Absolutely incredible!!

[@stayhungry1503]

hopefully its not fake

[@chrispowell9869]

You have better camera presence and editing skills than a number of YT "veterans". Love the honesty of this channel....keep it up.

[@unixpro2]

Put in a food processor, I don’t have one so we’ll use my blender Add corn starch, I don’t have corn starch so we’ll use rice flour Add ground almonds, I don’t have any so I’ll use almond flour Add almond extract, I don’t have any so I’ll use vanilla Results? Taste is an 8! Erika wins this season of the great American bake-off! You are amazing Erika.

[@billponder2186]

Right?! LOL.

[@WaterFish22]

Yep, so many ingredient substitutions didn't taste that bad in the end though so it must of been a success though!

[@johncasaleggio842]

I love how you don't get stressed about mistakes or having all the right ingredients

[@John_Conner222]

lol puts raspberry puree into a sieve. "Oh fantastic, its not going through" I burst out laughing with you. I think we all have been there when we try so hard and it just doesn't want to work with us. The pulp makes it better anyway.

[@paplexpli]

so relatable the part where you convince yourself that you like it with the seeds. God i dont wanna be 22 again! you keep on going

[@Ginoulmer]

You're a natural at making these videos, and I love how you leave mistakes or things others would edit out in your videos. It makes them real and worth watching. I would happily be an email friend from Montana.

[@DTraptureready777]

Less mess with a whisk. I noticed your hair too. It is your glory and your covering. Definitely starting to glow.

[@Torsee]

I think I’m in love… A lefty! 11:44 😂 Great result!

[@SnaxDesAvions]

Left handed unite ! My SO is right handed but for sexy time she's left handed :D

[@chaosgod5377]

SAME ^__^;;; lefty!!

[@t0m541]

Your channel came up on my recommended feed, watched your first video out of interest, then another...now I'm subscribed. Hope you get the success you deserve for being so down to earth. Keep going

[@danmarquez3971]

I actually loved this recipe with your variations! I retried the recipe by replacing cream with coconut cream and milk with almond milk. It was quite yummy! Thank you!

[@BIGM-gg9ln]

I love cooking, and you are awesome. Love your hair too!!!!

[@christopherkeil]

Paul Hollywood says "Hi"! No not really, but I like that you are having fun with what you're doing and that you are good at improvising. Never stop trying.

[@ItsLookingUp]

I'd call that a success! You may have been able to strain the seeds out after you added the liquid and before refrigerating. You are fun to watch!

[@Torsee]

8:17 Almond Extract can be used in many things. I like it in my coffee grounds before you brew your pot.

[@Cartier_specialist]

I love raspberries so I'm sure I'd like this.

[@williamdukeofnormandy1403]

Your Apartment is so clean. 💚💙💜❤💛

[@stonefree1911]

I think what makes this interesting for many is that we do things in a pretty similar manner....its relatable.

[@paulrom446]

Looks awesome 😁😎! I love 🐴🐴🐴! To. Cook My favorite Dish is Chicken 🍗 Cacciatore!

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

You are hilarious😂 Love The Great British Baking Show! Keep doing what your doing!😃

[@CharlesY9]

Erica I'm loving these cooking videos, a few laughs & a yuumy treat what could be better?

[@headshot8888]

That was fun, informative and love your personality.

[@f.austin]

4:16 the splash that landed on the top of the refrigerator-love your reckless style of cooking! hahah-kinda like a mad scientist….

[@user-yi5qw4sz8i]

Can't but my finger on it but I really love these videos. You are down to earth, genuine and real. It's refreshing. Have a great day.

[@davewarman2976]

You are a natural at this. Freaking hilarious. Btw, amazing hair!

[@korbonjohnson2799]

Inspired for sure

[@76Scutter]

I absolutely LOVE your hair

[@Tinman69]

No kidding! Its amazing today

[@JG-xd8jc]

"BLOB THING" lol That's a great name

[@AusNetFan13]

I don't know why but I'll definitely hire you as my cook. I really believe in you.

[@davidborja8054]

I'll try making this with my nephews. And keep up the good work erika. ❤ and hope you have a good day

[@sstr0084]

Another great video and you did an excellent job! Each project gets better!!!! You have a great sense of humor and it makes it much more fun to watch you! I love how you improvise the ingredients and it turns out better than planned! Can't wait for the next one! Also, beautiful hair!!!!

[@TrevorChenier]

I really love your videos!!!! Love your enthusiasm, laughter and the fun you have!! 🤗❤️🙏🏾🌹

[@Spiritwithin420]

"What spill"😂. You seem very comfortable doing that. Love the laugh too 😂

[@Pandaemoni]

A blancmange always reminds me of the Monty Python sketch where blancmanges are monsters terrifying the U.K.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i36mf5-qnNemZ7c

[@johngibson3837]

Wonderful mate had to watch it as a python fan probably not seen this one since I was 8 been subjected by my mother

[@user-ot7nt9tb2q]

You still crack me up.😅

[@jvebarnes]

Your blancmange attempt I give a 9 out of 10 it looks pretty much like every one that I ever made and as long as it tastes good that is all that really matters.🙂🌻🧡

[@bonsaimaster205]

Love your editing Erika. You're just too cute! ❤

[@CP-28]

Thank you for making and sharing this honest and sincere video 👍

[@gazoontight]

Very nicely done.

[@catfish9537]

Mighty Fine! DamnitMan if your having fun, we are having fun! Thanks...

[@plexiglass3599]

Lovin your journey! I’m goin through a very similar thing. Seeing you fulfill your goals is very inspiring. Thank you, keep it up!

[@user-if2gu4wp4q]

I enjoyed watching your show today...

[@innertubez]

Lol great intro! The blob thing! I love your video style, keep up the fun, genuine delivery!

[@iampuzzleman282]

Really like this. The baking show is a unique and very interesting show and I very much like it. People are genuine and kinda like you. Absolutely amazing hair by the way. 😊 OK

[@GeraldPalmarozzo]

I love your hair btw - it’s beautiful!

[@nickg2431]

LOL i made a chocolate blancmange today and im in my 50,s life just keeps getting better😀😀😀😀😀

[@markh3376]

Oh delicious 😋

[@alexandrohdez3982]

😋😋😋 well done

[@flipsaug]

As they say on The Great British Baking Show - That’s a “proper” blob.

[@bouji_]

Your hair looks great.

[@JGIANTS4]

I feel the same way

[@RogueGT03]

So you were doing fine. A little much in the strainer. Using a spatula or rubber scraper mash the purée against the sides leaving the solids and seeds to toss. Repeat until the puree is all strained. No worries tho you’ll do ok. 😁 The look on your face when the dog lit off… WTF?? 😂 Filming with an iPhone is tough. You’ll need a GoPro. An added expense but much easier editing I would believe.

[@paulmann8885]

Brilliant video thanks Erika! It says a lot about you that you're just getting straight into these 'challenges', and yeah, so what if you go off the script/recipe - that's often the best bit, seeing what you end up with! Your blancmange actually turned out rather well I think ... good and solid enough and (as you reported), tasted good too. Look forward to seeing your next episode of "Erika bakes ...." 🌷

[@calebswanson462]

Fun! Came out wonderful🎉

[@kentherapy7022]

[@JohnElizondo]

Nice summery! 😊

[@SGT_Young]

What a spill no way. 😉😂🤣 That’s what she said, looks could improve 🙀

[@jjhw2941]

In England we have packet mixes, look up, Pearce Duff's Blancmange.

[@ArunSudama-ur2cd]

Dinner Party!

[@user-wz7fe2bq5c]

Ya you should be stirring it constantly the more the better to keep the milk from scorching on the bottom of the pot and tasting burnt and to keep it from breaking and mixing folds iar into it for a lighter texture. I have been trained by Chef Lee Van Whittaker I was the dishwasher that showed up everyday for work and stayed late and helped with other things so that he said he woudl train me and he did. I also have licenses and certifications in other fields as well. So you def. can do it learn all kids of things! I WIll help you in any way I can.

[@mikefisc9989]

The easiest way to remove seeds from any type of berry is to use a food mill, but they are expensive so most folks don't bother doing it. I think it turned out pretty good. It definitely looks yummy.

[@manfredbismark6688]

Bravo, good work! Rudi.

[@MichaelSwartout]

The grey is probably a lot of your seeds you left in. Which should be what it is. However, it actually looks outstanding. Its firmness with a little jiggle, was completely acceptable.

[@Generalpickaname]

You remind me of Gwen Paltrow, and a little bit of Julia Robert’s. beautiful, and that Hair! OMG 🥰. Anyway, love this channel, down to earth is a rarity. This channel is going to get massive no doubt.

[@JGIANTS4]

Ok you got my attention

[@Torsee]

1:19 What beautiful hair!

[@spelunking4444]

😕

[@medusa8617]

@@spelunking4444 Videos like these rarely bring in actual friendship material sadly. Just chasers and weird people.

[@bobbyshaftoe]

Boot.

[@bobbyshaftoe]

the problem is: text comments... Is it a nice ole' lady saying it.. or a perv.. or just another lonesome soul? Ya just gotta be careful and again: ignore the weirdos and negatives... just remember the positive ones.

[@spelunking4444]

@@bobbyshaftoe my final answer is all of thee above regis

[@alanhenes1504]

I love your sense of humor.

[@bobbyshaftoe]

Just remember, proper gelatin melts in warm water and thickens when cool; whereas cornstarch is the opposite: You emulsify it with a little bit of cold water and it thickens as it get hot. This is also why gravy can be thickened with cornstarch and jello likes it cold :-)

[@johnspecht72]

Yet another success!!

[@Simwith]

❤

[@RoyL2G]

Good job, your skills are improving🎉

[@npvj5687]

You rock !

[@user-hz3un4dd3p]

Your personality is amazing. Keep being yourself and please keep making videos. You are truly a beautiful woman ❤❤❤

[@diegolaluz9261]

Just watching you do what you do talking it's enough entertainment there

[@tuckerandi]

Your channel just popped up on my recommended list and didn't take long for me to subscribe, liked the way you cooked the raspberries didn't strain so we'll do that , use a different flour , you use recipes like I do they are guidelines LOL , I'm always interesting in cooking and have a couple of cooking videos myself , mostly Newfoundland traditional meals, most of mine are out in nature with my dog. I also read your channel description and like you said here to learn new things and yep we're all in this together. You said it didn't look good , but it did on the video and I'm thinking taste really good. Have notifications on for next time and will be checking your older videos too

[@wxfield]

That actually doesn't look half bad! I learned so much watching this..had no idea gelatin sheets were even a thing!!

[@ksavage681]

A great baker in the making! Looks good!

[@mowis4824]

really like the laughter

[@TheDavebala]

The way you just go with the flow is admirable and adorable. Seeds ain't no thang. 😂 I like pulp with my juice. 🤤

[@user-wz7fe2bq5c]

Okay you were supposed to make the liquid milk with cornstarch and set aside, then put the remainder of the milk with the almond flour on to boil and once its about to boil( you dont want milk to actually boil or ir will break) add the cornstarch milk mix to thicken it.

[@James-hm8tq]

I think ill like it with seeds! Amen, that attitude goes a long way! I watched all 3 videos, I liked them alot. I don't think ill be able to keep up but ill check in to see how your doing sometimes.

[@josephbyrd6642]

wish I could visit for coffee and your creations! looks Yummy

[@dancacciatore]

Looks better than the one I had in Leicestershire years ago. My mom used to make Jello in what looked like Bundt cake molds sixty years ago in bizarre colors.

[@Simwith]

I love this show

[@douglasmeek9774]

You did a great job! I taught my granddaughter to bake when she was 5 and she is now 18 and heading to college.. She is a great baker and doesn’t need my help at all.. Everyone loves cookies and cup cakes !!!
