So excited to have made this tonight for my dad's birthday tomorrow. Only thing I did that I couldn't see in recipe was to line tin with baking paper. I think I saw you had done that in your video.

The old version of this is my favorite dessert recipe I’ve learned in years- I make it for birthdays and everyone is always super impressed. I’m excited to try this new one!

this recipe is such a treasure! two more questions, if that’s ok:

1) do you have a temp measurement/cue for the milk before it’s added to the eggs

2) re: ganache, should we wait for the cream to melt the chocolate on its own *before* start mixing it? what does “wait a few minutes” mean, until it has melted a bit? until it has cooled?

thank you for this update 🤍

Intrigued to see a 2.0 version of this viral cake! Curious - why did you swap out the milk in the pate a choux for water? And the amounts of eggs in the choux seem to have dialed down quite a bit as well. Excited to try it out!

This looks amazing! Any chance you happen to know if GF flour will work for this recipe?

Wondering if the choux paste could be baked on the bottom of a springform pan? Then you wouldn’t t have to worry about cutting the parchment paper or trimming the pastry to fit.

I think that should work! you might need to bake the choux pastry a little longer though :)

How long could you keep this in the fridge before serving (ie. can you make it 2 days ahead?)
