Pastry Chef Attempts to Make Gourmet Cadbury Creme Eggs | Gourmet Makes | Bon Appétit

Join pastry chef Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make gourmet Cadbury Creme Eggs. These are the only eggs that rabbits are known to lay (at least that's what Cadbury commercials tell us). However, Claire will try to make these Easter classics without the aid of a bunny.

As soon as I saw the title, I could already hear Claire’s voice saying: *“Tempered chocolate is chocolate that is heated, cooled and then heated again to specific temperatures so that the chocolate has a firm snap.”*

[@karlisedergran8348]

Tat

[@ThatOneGeekyFamilytoo]

But it's not though. Tempered chocolate is SOOOOOOOO easy. You melt chocolate to any temp. ANY temp. Then you cool it to 97F, chuck in your seed chocolate or cocoa butter, stir vigorously for a few minutes... pull out whatever was not melted... and you're done. Plus it's not done to get a "snap". It's done so that it holds its shape at room temperature. If you don't temper chocolate, then it will go soft (even runny) at room temperature. But it's sooooo easy to do and I'm not even trained and I can do it in a snap!

[@paintingmonkey]

Ah, this is almost like my platonic ideal of a Gourmet Makes episode - rather than trying to replicate the original not-great-thing, taking it as a jumping-off point and instead creating something that actually seems like it would taste amazing because the recipe's better, embracing it as a hand-crafted item rather than mass-produced, and is also totally aesthetically pleasing. Plus, bonus craft and construction! So great. (the almost is only because it's only marginally got that experimental approach when Claire tries to adjust and calibrate with different recipes, but hey, sometimes the idea is just right the first time, what's not to love?)

[@Jacqueline888]

paintingmonkey i am confused about the use of the word platonic in this instance

[@uf3178]

Nerd

[@thisisnotacryforhelp5800]

I completely agree with you. I always find it so frustrating when she's forced to worsen the food for the sake of accuracy, like when she had to freeze and reheat the Hot Pockets. The word, "Gourmet," in "Gourmet Makes" implies that the outcome of her experiments will be high-quality and restaurant worthy. That should be the focus.

[@ilovetheweeknd3412]

i think though sometimes the food item of choice is hard which makes it hard to advance the flavor and overall make up of the item. but i do agree with you.

[@elismith375]

​@@Jacqueline888 Platonic means according to the ideal form of something. If I remember right Plato thought non romantic love was the best kind of love so that's why we call love between friends platonic.

[@taco_engineer]

I feel like Claire finally made something more in the spirit of "gourmet". Normally, it's about her trying to get as close to the original as possible. This was less so, but concentrated on improving the product.

[@Chocolatepuppy21]

I also think the hot pockets episode was the same way, and everyone was obsessed with how those turned out. It's fun to watch Claire try to mimick the original product, but more fun IMO to watch her use her pastry chef expertise.

[@CaIIMeJane]

Alright, I’ve held off this long, but watching Claire agonize over tempering chocolate the old fashioned way is killing me. So. Here I am passing on the information that Kitchenaid makes a tempering bowl which can attach to their mixers or be used on its own. They are easy to use, very effective, don’t require constant attention, and my mother, a chocolatier, has two she uses for small batch chocolate. Tempering chocolate using a method involving water is notoriously difficult, not just because it is extremely finicky and requires patience and attention, but because moisture can and will cause chocolate to seize. So please, for the love of any god, invest in the tempering bowl. It is 100% worth it. This has been a tempering PSA.

[@Charlie-yv3ib]

This is so cool to hear

[@originalusername3049]

You can also just add freeze dried cocoa butter to a chocolate that was heated somewhat slowly and you’ve got super easy tempered chocolate.

[@ThatOneGeekyFamilytoo]

Not even that! Tempering is SUPER easy. All you do is melt your chocolate, cool down to 97F. Chuck in your seed chocolate or cocoa butter... stir for a few minutes... Pull out whatever part of the seed isn't melted and you're all done. If I was using the water method.. the easiest thing to do would be to keep the chocolate in temper. As long as it is all melted and stays under 97F... it stays in temper and you don't even have to worry about it.

[@ThatOneGeekyFamilytoo]

@@originalusername3049 Amen!!

[@user-xx7pg3vw9k]

I am so sorry to any choclatiers reading this, but the microwave is a no fail. I don’t even use a microwave [with rare exception]...except to temper chocolate. It always turns out perfectly.

Putting a chef de pâtisserie’s spin on this candy is glorious and beautiful.

Maaaan. I miss these. The way her coworkers just hop in to give advice or ask what's up was so nice to watch. And the recipes and challenges were so cool. This channel was 30% cooking and 70% the personalities, for me. Shame it went downhill so bad after the scandal.

Can we get a Rie and Claire collab? The internet would explode.

[@Foervraengd]

I really love how the end result looked like, it feels like ages since we last got a gourmet makes where it actually became gourmet and not just “perfect imitation that’ll drive Claire mad in frustration”. Please let Claire be more creative and do arts and crafts in future videos! Ngl I’d be totally fine with just a video of her doing crafts wether it’s food related or not. Happy Claire is best Claire.

the filling has been changed over the years I remember as a kid when we used to go to the UK it tasted different, I think it started around the time the company was sold to America we tend to change everything, you know wanting to be different and all.

[@willspikes]

America is so big that when they started selling chocolate the milk in the recipe would expire, so they added butyric acid to the recipe to make it last longer, americans then got used to chocolate with that taste (the issue is that butyric acid is also present in stomach acid, so to people outside the USA the chocolate basically tastes like vomit) so chocolate in the UK tastes sweeter and creamyer because it uses fresh milk in its recipe
