How To Make a Dark Chocolate Kahlua Cheesecake Thanksgiving Recipe | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@gizmo7877]

In case newbies don’t know, the oils in the orange, or lemon skins, contain the oils that release their beautiful flavor when grated. Soooooo good! Put the peels in a bottle with vodka😅 and make your own extract. Never, never throw away the skins!! As an,old Italian remedy for headaches, my grandpa would heat the skins on the kerosene stove and rub his forehead!! Go figure!

[@fanghuabao1178]

I just thought a bit of your grandfather's inspiration. Many energy channels called meridiens run through the forehead, among them, the stomach (if I remember). And the chinese have a remedy for some stomach problem, mandarine's peels in decoction. This is awesome how all knowledge joins in reality. And many thanks for the tip 👍 ☀️

[@roberthemingway7419]

You make it look easy, but I don't think so.

[@bostonjackson9384]

While I agree with the value of using the skins and peels in this manner, it is wise to ONLY use organic fruit for this purpose.

[@Glockhead1]

yeah pesticides are a good thing i’m sure your grandfather loved rubbing his forehead with pesticides…DOH

[@gizmo7877]

but what did these immigrants know 78 years ago. The word "organic" didn't exist to them. He didn't die from using orange peels and lived to be in his 80's.And life goes on!@@bostonjackson9384

Hi Chef Jean-Pierre Today was the birthday of my mom. She is 87 and she lives in a retirement home. Yesterday i did this WONDERFUL, AMAZING AND SOOO TASTY cheese cake. I went to the retirement home where she lives and many of her friends was there and now they are thinking that my mom give birth to God. Everyones loves it so much... It was an amazing evening and it is in this moment that you understand that food can bring people together and make them happy. ( and you know how to do it) It was an unforgettable moment to see all their faces. Thank you so much Chef!!!! You are a real one! And thanks to my assissant (my wife) who help me with the dishes😂 Chef Jean-Pierre FOR PRESIDENT!!!! You are right the child of my mom could do it.🤪🤪

[@beachladyshellseeker]

Happy 87th Birthday to your wonderful Mother!

[@toitideal]

@@beachladyshellseeker thanks😁

[@AninoffsMagister]

I can’t tell you how much I love when chef gets excited and kind of flaps his hands. It’s very endearing and it shows how passionate he is. It’s like little kid energy. He is so excited to cut into the cake it makes me excited to rush out and bake it so I can try it! His food is what brought us here but his personality is what keeps us here!! Never change Chef!! Anyone that hates on you can change the channel. (You know what I mean 😜😂) don’t let them get you down. Then they accomplished their goal. Just forget them immediately. I have a saying for those types of people, “Thank you, for just becoming irrelevant in my life.” 😉🤫😜😂

[@morgancalvi6675]

It's sad to see the cake is a satellite dish.

[@akcellr8r75]

I love how you encourage parents to include kids to participate in cooking.👍

[@adonnamanzo659]

I am making this cheesecake as I watch today. I may not comment often, but I love your show. I look forward to every video. I gather from your comments that some followers do not like long videos. I think your longer videos are awesome. You are a fantastic teacher and your sense of humor is part of the essence of your show. I could watch you cook all day. Sometimes I do.

[@mumo9413]

I homeschool & my 11yr old loves to cook since he could stand😊 If I'm piping, I let him practice on parchment paper, then just scrape back into the bag! It's a dream to see his satisfaction! Especially when we have guests & he presents his food to them! Delightful!

[@rene230464]

I worked with chefs, but no one can ever come close to Chef Jean-Pierre. Thank you Chef for your amazing recipes, they are full of the most amazing flavours and I have yet to fail on one. You are the best and we are forever grateful to you. Being from South Africa we do not always get the same ingredients, but mine works just as well with the substitutes. Works every time. Thank you Chef and stay blessed 🌹

[@Jaxthewonderhusky]

I made this for dessert on Christmas. It was a huge hit! I usually make a new recipe once before I make it for guests, so I was a little nervous doing this for the Christmas crowd, but it came out beautifully. It was also my friend's birthday, so we put candles in it too! I love this channel and Chef Jean Pierre! 🐺❤️🍑

[@robertallison9653]

This is the best Cheesecake of all-time! This bad boy wins every dessert medal out there in late 2022!

And i just bought a beautiful big bottle of Kailua ,for the chocolate mousse I make from Chef's recipe. Now I can make this too. Yummy!!

[@angelaturbak8088]

Chef, thank you is not even close to adequate to express my delight in your Thanksgiving Dinner series. I have enjoyed your recipes, tips, encouragement and enthusiasm as you share what you love! The ‘icing on the cake’ so to speak is this cheesecake recipe. OMG! Kahlua dark chocolate cheesecake??? Heaven! Thank you, thank you for this series. Our holidays will be merrier and while we give thanks for all our blessings, we are thankful for you! Wishing you and yours the best Thanksgiving ever.

[@heather2493]

[@MrPhilsAlabamaHotSauce]

Without even tasting that wonderful cake, I can do a complete review. First, it is absolutely beautiful! Such a pleasing appearance on any food stimulates the pleasure centers. The smooth way the slice cones off proves that consistency is dead on. With those ingredients so properly assembled, it guarantees an amazing flavor and mouthfeel. Bravo Chef!

[@smoothbeak]

Chef literally stood there all night ready for the next take ;)

[@russh6414]

I have made cheesecakes for years but Chef Jean Pierre just taught me some new tools and techniques to add to my cheesecake toolbox. Fantastic recipe and even more entertaining Chef. I especially like how he is not pretensions in his presentations and even shows you hints for getting out of potential trouble spots! I'd give him three thumbs up but I only have two hands!

[@J.C.100]

I always love this enthusiasm❤❤❤ Jean Pierre is a right happy man. Thank you that you exist❤❤❤

[@DonPandemoniac]

I wasn't expecting a 'boom' with every raspberry placement, but I was expecting a 'bloop' or two when adding the eggs to the filling. Kidding aside, that is a masterpiece of a dessert, fit to be the finale for the fantastic courses you have made. Chapeau Chef!

[@recordman555]

What I like - admire - about you, Jean Pierre - you are not afraid to tackle any culinary task. So many Chefs today shy away from pastry. I'm like you. Years ago, when the opportunity presented itself, I dug into pastry like crazy! Tarts, cakes, flourless cake, strudel, bread pudding, Ice cream, sorbets, Gelato, and, yes, cheesecake! Many, many variations of cheesecakes! A cook who can handle preparing the entire meal - from canapés, to soup, to entree, to dessert - that is a true Chef!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you for the kind words Jon! I must admit that I am not a "Pastry" chef but love to make dessert! I just cannot skip dessert!!! 😊

[@pierre6625]

Hello Chef Jean Pierre, I also love chocolate. But I must say this is the best ever recipe for a Chocolate Kahlua Cheesecake I have ever seen. Fantastic recipe, Thank you for this special recipe. God Bless you and your crew. ❤❤

[@roseconklin5392]

Thank you so much Chef Jean-Pierre for sharing this beautiful Cheesecake recipe with us!!! You are so generous with your instructions!!!!

OH SNAP Chef, that looks incredible... I don't eat much sweets anymore, but I know my family will appreciate this on Christmas day so I will try. Thank you as always Chef JP, you are the best, my family appreciates you more than you will ever know, and your recipes will be a part of our lives forever!!! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

We are lucky to have these videos. This is the best chef on internet and on top of that he’s the best teacher of all. We are lucky to be able to watch these masterclasses for free, and to have the privilege to watch such unique and professional chef showing the most minimal detail of the recipes. Thank you chef

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you 🙏

[@pettypedroakalsthecat]

I've been watching for awhile, but I've missed the grater tip! It makes so much sense to do it that way, I feel kinda silly for not knowing already! I've been cooking (my favorite pastime) for over 50 years and thought I was pretty kitchen savvy. Just goes to show we can all learn new things! Lol

[@jeremywhite164]

Chef JP knocks it out of the park again. Great video and instruction, as usual. Thank you so much.

[@xlr8tedzoom]

Chef Jean-Pierre certainly has a flair with foods and a unique character. I love to watch his videos and then go create gastronomical delights for my family. Thank you for all you do! .

[@pattiweisgerber480]

I have made this recipe for many years and absolutely love it. It was first printed in a special recipe booklet attached to a Kahlua bottle. The only difference is your use of fresh orange zest, vanilla salt and ganache. But I love those enhancements. I have always lightly brushed the top with a bit of Kahlua and decorated with dark chocolate leaves, for an added layer of texture. But now I may also try adding a bit of fine ground hazel nuts on top as well. Chef, you've re-awakened my joy in baking by your infectious nature. Thank you!

[@lauraschembri8010]

Hello Chef 🌹. I am so glad when you repeat what we should be doing. Because at 74 yrs sometimes I forget and you remind us to do things properly. Thank You. You are the BEST. Love to see a recipe for ONE or perhaps TWO people.🥂

[@warmwoolsoxgood4559]

The chef makes everything he does seem as if you, little old you, could do any of it, in your silly little kitchen. His talents, his experience, his joie de vivre causes a reticent, nervous cook to suddenly sit up and grin, widely, and say, “Wow! I think I could DO that!” And then? You can. Lovely, genius man. This is adorning my table next weekend, our 50th wedding anniversary!. 😱😄😍❤️😍 Best one yet! (We started young, LOL it was different then!😄) and we are very blessed. Thank you, Chef. For everything. It’s such a pleasure, your channel and your willingness to educate those who seek the good stuff in this frantic, difficult world of late. There may be criminals in charge right now but there WILL be this brilliant dessert to keep us sane, and to remember that the best things in this life are not money or power, but simple things; gentle touches, glances, memories, and kindnesses. The stuff of human LIFE! 👍 ANDA dark chocolate Kahlua cheesecake. No way I’m waiting until Thanksgiving!

Chef, I made this for Christmas. I hope you don’t mind because it wasn’t Thanksgiving. In the video you show cooking the cheesecake at 350° yet in the printed instructions it says 325°. I am guessing 350° is correct because I baked mine at 325° and it took a lot longer.
