John I'm teaching my younger siblings how to bake and showing them your videos to study has been supremely enjoyable for both them and myself. Much love from Italy 💜

You make baking looks super easy, which it is!! I never made a curd before, and finally got the courage to do it after watching your lemon curd video and omg I did it! I'm gonna try make this one next. Thank you for making such awesome baking videos!

I was nearly 60 before I realized that ganache was not a Hindu deity -- all those wasted years! Thanks for suggesting coconut milk as an alternative to cream. I just tried it in the thick, sugar-free ganache that I eat as fudge. (I'm diabetic) So silky smooth and delicious.

I never thought of adding other liquids except heavy milk, but now that I do and thanks to you, I can already think of various combinations! Thank you very much

I'm making these up as truffles for my daughter for Christmas. Only I'm making a variation on the theme. I'm using dehydrated heavy cream powder and rehydrating it with hot coffee. Then I am mixing it with her favorite white chocolate. I think she will LOVE it....

Later: I used half hot coffee cream and half white chocolate like instructed, but it looks pretty thin. I'm going to refrigerate it and see if it gets thick enough to make balls. If it doesn't, I'll reheat it later and add more white chocolate.

Respect for having your microwave in an unusual place, it makes your kitchen seem all the more stylish! :3

[debralarive]

Yum! I love the advice: if it’s not right just add more chocolate! I think that applies to anything in life right? LOL. Seriously though, thanks for the directions! I always thought ganache was hard. John, you showed me I was wrong. Congrats on 379k subscribers too!
