    And the taste?

     

    It's good, better than without I believe, and the vanilla fits very good. I feel like yolks helps to offset the taste of butter a bit as well. I think I might try to add some more yolks with the next attempt - should be room to add some more water with that AW. Just because why not?

    Adding pasteurized yolks should be fine (risk of salmonella gone)  - just watch the water activity - that's the important thing. 

     

    Thanks for the reply. I'll test it out and see how it tastes then. :)

    Not quite sure why you would waste a piping bag though when you have a marble slab in front of you

     

    There's a video on Chocolate Academy where they do it like that. Maybe she just learned it from them.

  4. I'm currently experimenting with a crème brûlée inspired molded bonbon and I am really curious about the egg part. It seems like it's mainly about microorganisms that can come with it rather than anything else? I was thinking of adding some pasteurized egg yolks to a white chocolate butter ganache. But it's very little information about this when I search for it. I realize that I bump an extremely old thread here, but interesting if Wybauw said that it is about water activity in the end, no matter what. Maybe it is safe in the end. From my understanding, eggs are treated a lot differently in Europe compared to North America (at least the US), could be a reason why it's not a common thing as well.

     

    Anyone else currently reading the forum that have any more insights?

     

    What an experience to have met him by the way!

    Do you buy colors by the kg?  Do you attempt to scrape off and save the excess or is the time savings still greater than the cost of the CB?

     

    I'm only doing this as a hobby, so it doesn't matter too much. But I do scrape it off and save it!

    If you recall, I started using Orelys in your cinnamon bun recipe, a recipe that has been insanely popular.  An eG member has formulated a recipe for making Orelys in a melanger.  I'm thinking of giving it a try.  It will probably end up costing more than a 3kg bag shipped by Valrhona to me (via many in-between people, I am sure), but I will really miss having it.  @Rajala, since you are so close to the Rhone Valley (I know, typical U.S. concept of geography), why don't you make a trip over and find the Orelys warehouse?

     

    It's like 1127 miles to travel to get there :D

    But I digress. I'm going to get this little jam maker out of our storage room and see if I can make it cook some PdF. 

     

    Let us know how it goes. I haven't tried making a PDF with the Thermomix jsut yet, even though I made one yesterday. Forgot about this haha. But I'm going to try one day!

     

    Btw, blood orange marmalade sounds delicious!

    How do you brew coffee with dairy?
    Is it possible for you to share the ganache recipe with us?

     

     

     

    Short answer: I don't. :)

     

    I don't remember the rules about sharing links to one's own social media etc here, but I can send you the recipe when I've published it in my channels.
