    I'm a professional pastry chef, but this technique is brilliant, basically a chocolate sabayonne. I'll make this for dinner. Thanks chef!

    I like how your style is still geared towards people who might be new to cooking. When you mentioned replacing a spatula I first thought to myself, who doesn't have one of those? It made me remember watching your videos many years ago when I first started getting into cooking, I didn't have many tools back then either. You're a legend in our house.

    That is the prettiest demonstration of proper folding I've EVER seen!

    HAHA "It's Valentine's Day and we're trying to get l- - - lots of compliments" 🤣🤣🤣

    Will def try this with 3 tablespoons rum, 1 tablespoon strong coffee, shake little cayenne over CJ always inspires
  • @lightdanger
    I have missed the "lots of compliments" line from the Valentine days ideas. I'm really happy to see it here

    7:28 your perfectly timed half pause almost keeled me, I am still belly laughing at you (with you) my MAN!

    Best served in one of those moose glasses like in Christmas Vacation.

    Your voice makes listening to these newer, longer productions enjoyable. I started watching a lot of YT about 4 years ago, when 5 minutes seemed normal for a quality presentation, tho I was watching mainly programming tutorials. I remember the comments when 8+ minutes was recommended. Now everything I watch wants to be 13 to 20 minutes, kind of like a sitcom, I imagine. Thanks!
  • Thanks for the recipe. I made some mousse a few weeks ago, while good, I thought it was way too sweet. It used twice the eggs and chocolate of your recipe, but used 1 1/3 cup sugar. Even halving that, it would still be 10 times the amount of sugar of your recipe. I am looking forward to trying your version.

    God bless you Chef John! You've brought my cooking a long way and I'll probably never meet you, but bless your hairy, loveable, comical, informative hands :)
  • @simmerguy813
    Thank you for this recipe and the reassurance. I love to cook and bake, so your videos really provide a challenge, but also not to overthink it, just do. Even when you do screw up, it’s just you cooking. As you told us all. Thank you, Chef John. 😊
