Recipe:
To make the cones, combine 3 ounces room temp egg whites, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ up demerara sugar, 3 tablespoons melted cooled butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ½ cup flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking soda and blend with a hand blender until completely smooth. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe some onto the grates of a preheated electric waffle cone iron. Cook just until it’s set but pale, then transfer the piece to a cutting board and trace around a football-shaped stencil with a wheel cutter. Remove the excess, return the piece to the iron, and cook until golden brown all over. Form the cone around a mold, pressing firmly on the seam. Repeat with more batter. Dry the cones in a 200-degree oven upside down on a rack set over a baking sheet,, then let cool. Brush the insides of the cones with a thin layer of melted chocolate, depositing a half teaspoon of chocolate in the bottom of each. Place the cones on a rack in the freezer.

To make the ice cream, vigorously whisk 8 large egg yolks, 1 cup granulated sugar, 30g malted milk powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon vanilla paste in the bottom of a large saucepan until pale and ribbony. Whisk in 3 cups whole milk and 1 cup heavy cream. Cook the mixture, whisking constantly over medium heat, until it registers 180-degrees. Cool the mixture rapidly in an ice bath, then transfer to an ice cream machine and spin until the ice cream holds its shape. Transfer some of the ice cream to a piping bag and fill the chocolate-coated cones, smoothing the tops, then transfer the rest of the ice cream to a chilled loaf pan and freeze solid. Scooping from the loaf pan, place a scoop of ice cream over the top of each cone, smoothing with a small offset spatula to form nice domes. Freeze the cones overnight, then melt chocolate and coconut oil together to make a magic shell. Dip the cones in the shell, shaking off excess, then gently roll in very evenly chopped and sifted roasted salted peanuts. Freeze until form, at least 20 minutes.

This series coming back means the timeline is healing.

[roxastopher]

the difference in claire's demeanor in this setting versus the test kitchen is SO different and more relaxed. love this for her

[dmodawid]

Everyone's favourite series is BACK!

[dabnessofp]

Claire's recent videos get between 150-300K views usually it seems. This one has 1.3M. Suffice it to say we all wanted this series back and it's great! Glad to see her more relaxed with it and try to both get really close but not break herself over it. Love this for all of the fans of old BA videos

[daniellemonteiro]

the serotonin burst i get from seeing claire reading the ingredients

wow i really missed it 🥹 i'm so glad it's back

[nickzoner]

The reading ingredients really hit the nostalgia button

[the_flora_archives]

That feeling when the non-compete ✨ expires ✨ this is my comfort series.

Claire figuring out the shape of the cone and getting some paper and scissors is why this series will be so unique. Her wanting to get it 'just right' is very fun to watch.

[lorencristina]

the realness of working in her own kitchen with her kitties running around is what this series needed
i'm so happy to see claire back at it again
what a rockstar

[petsch]

Losing this show the first time was a devastating mid-pandemic blow, so happy to see Claire leaning back into it

[akcaggiano]

I love watching Claire recreate treats, but I would also love to watch her make a "dream" version of the thing she's recreating. Like a truly gourmet version where she mixes up the flavors and ingredients to her personal taste.

[kylefriend]

I didn’t know how much I needed to hear Claire read off industrial ingredients. Nature is healing.

[sillyotter]

Im going to cry. This is the best gift the universe could've given us. We don't deserve Claire Saffitz from her home test kitchen.

[mariaochoa]

The moment when you said you were not going to obsess about getting 100% right because that's when it usually went wrong was actually amazing.
No stress, just trying to make something fun, problem solving but it's not the end of the world if you can't. I feel like that is actually a pretty cool thing to take out of this show

[fffanm]

**sigh** I have a warm and fuzzy feeling watching this, very emotional. Claire Saffitz is the reason I started baking. Actually, watching her is how I learned to bake. Her almost scientific rigor and methodical, analytical way of explaining and sharing her thought process, completely won me over. I started baking, bought my tools little by little, my parents gifted me her first cookbook for my birthday. I was devastated when the series came to an end. This channel, however, came at the right time.
Now, it's like coming full circle from watching her make Gourmet Doritos in a busy urban kitchen during a global pandemic; with myself laying depressed on my bed, but smiling at a talented, smart, funny, anxious and hardworking woman who became the mastermind behind the best desserts many people that I know have tried.
Thank you, Claire. You've made these tough five years much more bearable and joyful. I hope you'll achieve all your goals, I wish you the best of luck.
Saludos desde México!! 🪅🇲🇽

I'm voting for Moon Pies... What snacks/meals would you like to see next in this series?

[rajbhai]

What I love about Claire being in her home kitchen is the fact she's so much more relaxed and she's not stressing about perfection the entire time

[CabinetGremlin]

oh my gosh, seeing claire make a return is so heartwarming. I was addicted to the vibe she brought to the test kitchen, and was so sad when covid hit and the show was canned. knowing i have a full 3 years of hidden claire content waiting for me now feels like winning the lottery! hopefully the algorithm shows even more people that you've still been here all this time

[andreaaguila]

i found the "older versions" of these videos and Claire during the pandemic, and I did nothing but watch her for a whole straight week after the shutdown. This episode brings back lots of memories, and it is healing (like everyone in the comment said).
