As a professional ice cream maker who makes large volumes of custard daily, here is a tip: mix your egg yolks into the sugar and then into cold cream and gently bring to temp (stirring constantly) until you reach your temp, then strain into a chilled bowl. As long as you are stirring and not heating too fast, you will never scramble your eggs. You will skip a step and save yourself dishes, plus you eliminate the risk of scrambling which even pros can mess up using the 'classical' tempering method.

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

Your abhorrent English is incoherent to the point where my head hurts😅😂😢

[@RabidHobbit]

He does it this way to infuse the milk with the vanilla bean and then be able to strain it out. I am curious though if there's any noticeable difference in flavor between the two methods. If you're using a liquid vanilla, or extract, then I don't think there would be a reason to infuse, first.

[@dannyboyNS752]

@@RabidHobbit we use who vanilla pods and strain as well. If you cook it to the same finished temp, there is no difference in temps. One could argue you don't need to stand over the milk as you are heating or up before tempering the egg yolks - but milk has a tendency to go to a boil very quickly and, because of all the protein, will bubble up and spill over the top of your pot quite easily (and boiled then dried milk is a nasty mess to clean), so I don't buy this argument. Because you are heating your egg yolks more gently than with tempering, you can cook them at a higher temp with out them currdling and get.more of an edgy flavour of you like. For some of our ice cream flavours, that is a profile we want for others we go a longer temp.

[@kevinwidner7629]

Can you tell me more about the “aged egg whites” never heard about aging them for meringues before. Are we talking a day or two of aging or longer? Does that make the proteins dry some and work better like using cream of tarter or a copper bowl?

[@KWmsChildOfGod]

Me 2 please!❤

[@ktwashere5637]

I've only ever heard that egg whites should be as fresh as possible!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

It's a bit of a well-kept secret in kitchens, but yes, you can keep egg whites for anywhere from a few days to a week, maximum. These aged egg whites will yield better meringue, mostly because the egg whites are drier, having lost some water content. This, in turn, creates a tighter meringue, and generally speaking, the meringue also becomes more voluminous.

[@KWmsChildOfGod]

@@FrenchCookingAcademy oh marvelous! Thank you!

[@TululaTenant]

It's a pleasure to watch chocolate melt - thanks. Like the detailed tips on how to eat it. 200 ml cream, or 20 ml? The video & recipe have a different measurements.

Hey,Stephane! Can’t we prepare this dessert without eggs specifically with the custard powder? If yes, then what is the alternative procedure? Please reply.

[@jcourtmail9261]

[@borbetomagus]

Thanks for this! Do you have any preferred brands of chocolate? I was considering making Chocolate Budino for an office party with a chocolate/coffee ganache topping, but your response to another comment convinced me try this instead. Maybe at some point I'll make pot de creme and budino too.

[@Hollis_has_questions]

Hi Stéphane, it has been a while since I’ve checked in. Congratulations on the beautiful cookbook, which I will definitely buy when I can. I love the bistro concept! With this recipe, though, I have a few comments: NEVER DISCARD A PERFECTLY FINE VANILLA BEAN! Once its seeds have been removed and it has been steeped to infuse a liquid, such as the heated milk/cream mixture here, just rinse it well and let it dry. It can be chopped or whirled into powder or, what I love to do, tossed whole into a canister of sugar to impart the heady aroma of vanilla into what will become vanilla sugar! The vanilla should last for at least six months (two years for me!), at which time the bean “carcass” can be ground into a fine powder to serve as a sort of ”fairy dust” to flavor the air of the room you’re in, or whatever you like. As a person who loves both yolk-based custards and white-based meringue cookies, merci bien for the aged egg white tip! I wonder whether desserts like this shouldn’t add just a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolaty essence? I love heat with sweet, so perhaps instead of salt I would add 1/16 t. of Urfa biber or Aleppo pepper to the custard. Or maybe more! Or use freshly-ground white pepper, my preference over black pepper. Thank you again for all your hard work in creating such a beautiful baby as the French Cooking Academy!

This is the kind of dessert we need to see more in the average french restaurants, not the ever-present moelleux au chocolat and crème brûlée…

[@pizdamatii5001]

if i wanted to add a dash of alcohol to the custard, like a tablespoon of cointreau, when would i add that exactly?

[@VidkunQL]

I am not a professional, but I would add it just after the chocolate, when the mixture was still warm and loose enough to allow easy and thorough mixing, but not so hot as to evaporate the alcohol.

[@brandonbudig4593]

What is the texture like compared to budino or pot de creme?

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

creamier

[@JigJagging]

In a pinch, I cheated when making the Liegois: I melted chocolate ice cream, added corn starch and put it back on the heat until thickened. Topped with whipped cream, and some chocolate shavings, and that's it!

[@toddmeier9743]

Just for creativity...what would happen if you threw in the egg whites with the cream before mixing?

[@Sasquatchseattle]

The mechanisms that allow cream and egg white to trap air when beaten both get messed up by the introduction of the other. Egg whites rely on protein to trap air - and fat inhibits the structure. Cream relies on fat to to trap the air, and if the fat is too diluted it can't trap air either.

[@barryhaley7430]

What if you folded whipped egg whites into the custard?

[@Sasquatchseattle]

It should make the flavor less rich and the texture more delicate. However, I've never gone through the effort to check myself.

[@barryhaley7430]

@@Sasquatchseattle I suppose it would be a soufflé.

[@kindabluejazz]

A professional ice cream maker posted above and suggested exactly that, claiming it makes it less likely to scramble the egg. Not sure all the 'theory' posted above, but the guy above says that's how he makes large volumes daily.
