60g (1/4c) Buttermilk (or sour cream + milk)
Cocoa powder for dusting
1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Prepare a 9” springform pan with parchment paper & liberal pan spray.

6. Mix melted but cooled chocolate into the yolk mixture until combined.
7. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture using a spatula, ensuring not to deflate the whites.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap slightly to level. Place on a sheet tray to catch any leaks.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until set in the middle.

7. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
8. Before shaping cookies, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

NO-COOK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
6 Egg yolks
20g (1 1/2T) Unsalted butter

4. In clean mixer bowl, whip heavy cream to just before stiff peaks, careful not to over-whip. This should take about 90 sec
5. Gently fold whipped cream into the egg yolks, then gently fold in the melted chocolate until combined.
6. Fold in the egg white meringue gently to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
7. Transfer mousse into a freezer bag or piping bag and pipe into container of choice. I’m using 9 7oz containers. Tap gently to settle. Cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Sup man! Good to see you doing well since highschool. Take care ❤️
Made the flourless chocolate cake over the weekend. It was a major hit.
oh, man, my grandma used to make a cookie like that. We called them "earthquake cookies" when we were kids. Will definitely give that, and to be honest probably both of the other recipes, a whirl. Thanks.
Or live in Europe, and have about 95%+ bacteria free eggs … not even cooled in the shops. Freakish but yeah, it's because of the natural 'antibiotic' layer (and the occasional feather) left on the eggshell as they are not rinced/desinfected in anyway wich also explains why they don't need to be cooled in the shops before you buy them or even for +/- a fourthnight when you keep them at home.
Again, freakish maybe, but that's how eggs roll in the EU.
I noticed there was no vanilla extract or anything in the cookies, I've never seen a chocolate baked good without it.
when I was young, and I want something sweet, grandparents made kogel-mogel. Its just raw egg yolk mixed with spoon of sugar. So…..
You can make great chocolate mousse and skip the eggs altogether. It's been years.
Poor heated heavy cream over chopped chocolate, just so it all melts.
Which more cream (good time to add a shot of coffee, orange (etc.) liqueur. Fold the cream into the chocolate and if you are feeling REALLY decadent, top with more whipped cream.
9:03 did you lick the yolk
Weeds and sardines. What a goat. If you know you know
These recipes really are no-fail — for the mousse, when I folded the meringue together with chocolate/cream/yolk mixture, because I over-whipped the heavy cream and left the meringue out for too long, the mousse was grainy and not nearly as fluffy as I would have liked. Still, I added some whipped cream and chocolate shavings to top it and it was still incredible! Maybe next time I can make more airy and cloudlike 😉
I am making an after dinner dessert for friends…Thursday. You have given me great choices. Saved me!
instead of recipe one, try kladdkaka, best thing there is
A quick google search reveals this from the CDC: "CDC estimates Salmonella bacteria cause about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the United States every year."
I would suggest, "modern eggs are meticulously sterilised" is a slight overstatement. Those numbers are still a bit too high for me to feel comfortable with the risk. Although, here is a number I imagine is extremely low: people who have experienced salmonella poisoning from eggs – and still continue to eat them raw.
I love seeing you and Lauren together! So cute! ❤️
Could you make a video about rhubarb dishes?
i friggin love your vids and recipes but that candid discourse on health and food was baller
I made a "fit" version of the flourless cake, and also one with Brian's recipe with no modifications, honestly both are great! My fit version has about 33% fewer calories and 10 grams of protein per slice. Basically substituted the 330 grams of chocolate with 200 grams of sugar-free dark chocolate + 100 grams of a whey /casein chocolate protein powder (Syntrax), 100 grams of the butter with 105 grams of Greek Yogurt (added to the chocolate/butter pan), and the sugar with 114 grams of erythritol + 150 grams of allulose, and added an extra 50 grams of buttermilk to the yolk bowl.
Making the flourless cake, I decided to listen to Brian about the egg/yolk separation, the first egg yolk broke as soon as it touched the bowl. So I decided to go back to "my truth", and it all went perfect.
Question for the second recipe. It's a little warm where I am right now, so when I was rolling the balls in sugar, I noticed some melting on my hands. Is this fine, or should I put them in the fridge to firm up again prior to baking.
In the cookies, if you wanted to make it for the holidays, how much peppermint flavor do you think would be good?
Hi Guys, I recently ran across an interesting recipe for folks who need to use up extra eggs and-or are doing low carb. Hard-Boiled Egg Chocolate Pudding 10 Hard Boiled Eggs, 14oz,1 3/4 cups Cream (or other dairy or coconut milk), Half Cup Sugar or other sweetener, 1 tablespoon vanilla, half cup cocoa powder (I used carob), pinch instant coffee, pinch salt. You blend this up til smooth and either refridgerate or freeze into Fudgesicles. Happy egg collecting Jim Mexico
