So I have made Alvin Zhou's brownies and I can definitely agree with Emmy here. Here were my notes. -The most notable thing about the flavor of these brownies is that they are not very sweet. I'm not the biggest brownie fan since they tend to be one dimension sugary/fudgey tasting, but these do have that complexity from all the steps and special ingredients involved. -Alvin says the coffee is just used to accentuate the chocolate taste; but the coffee taste is very noticible. Only make this if you enjoy coffee and dark chocolate. -I strained the brown butter to remove the espresso grounds which I definitely believe they kept the brownies from being gritty. -I also happened to overbake my brownies but they still stand well being on the more cakey/dry side. Overall, I would recommend these brownies but you should not expect that you are getting anything similar to a basic brownie at all. These are the kind of brownies who appeal to people who like more bittersweet desserts. Although they are good, I would preferably point people in the direction of his 48 hour cookies which use the same technique but are far far better imo. Thanks for doing the coverage, Emmy!

@mothgames9466

yeah I definitely won't be making them I'm so glad I saw this comment and the video. They just look too fudgey which I didn't know was possibly until I saw the video. I use a teaspoon of espresso powder in my own choc chip cookies which does wonders for the flavour but seeing a tablespoon nevermind 2 tbsps in this recipe had massive alarm bells ringing for me. it seems to just be a bit too much which is a shame as I love to ferment / let my baking batters/doughs develop normally. So glad I saw this stuff and didn't lose time!

@-desertpackrat

I love bittersweet, but I'd probably just chill it until it solidifies to a fudge-state and then bake them, I'm not sure what chilling after baking will even do except to dry them out, but I do like how the chill process of the batter itself before baking seems to condense the brownie, at least it looks like it does.

If I were to make this recipe, I would change most of the measurements and process. I would reduce a lot of the expresso powder to around 1-2 teaspoon, half the chopped chocolate amount in the batter, use semi-sweet chocolate, reduce the sugar amount a bit since the the coffee powder was reduced drastically and changes to the type of chocolate, and will just put the batter in the fridge for a day since 3 days is just overkill. His technique of whipping eggs and putting the hot brownies straight into the fridge was correct for having fudgy chewy brownies since I've been making and improving my own brownies since 10 years ago so I have a lot of experience on hand :)

I suspect you rest the batter for several days to allow the bitter flavours to mature and mellow out, but I imagine the same effect would be achieved by putting less bitter ingredients in the first place. Seems kind of an unnecessary step tbh.

@fenzelian

3 жыл бұрын

What’s probably happening is that the texture of the batter is relaxing and smoothing (through the exchange of water and the unwinding of gluten), so it will cook more evenly and be less tough. The bitterness is not necessarily just from the ingredients, it could also come from parts of the batter burning because the water in the batter is not evenly distributed or the ingredients are hard to mix effectively in these intense ratios.

Alvin is a pure journey that’s why we love him

I love baking and I actually made these shortly after watching the original video. I loved them. I halved the amount of espresso used but did everything else the same. Not like a traditional brownie, but they were so luxurious and unlike any other brownie I've had before. Texture was incredible straight from the refrigerator and also warmed up with a scoop of vanilla gelato on top. Not something I'd bake all the time but for a special occasion for a chocolate lover, these are 100% worth it.

I adore how real Emmy is. She could have easily edited out the counter-egg but nope! No hiding mistakes. No pretending to be super fancy. Just picking out the shell and off the counter, into the bowl. It's fine. It feels so reassuring knowing that even perfect Emmy messes up.

Just as an FYI for everyone who wants to make them. I followed Emmy‘s written recipe on her website and her measurements are a bit off. She calls for 188g of flour rather than the 215g in the original recipe which probably wouldn’t make a huge difference. But she also states 250g of sugar rather the 450g in Alvin‘s recipe. Mine came out really bitter due to that and they weren’t as fudgy as I had hoped 🙈

Ugh its snowing here in Minnesota I am bummed

I love when the host is honest about stuff and not overly loving everything they make. :) Great video.

When you shared "nursing that brownie" all of a sudden I'm transplanted decades back into my childhood. I wasn't really allowed to have packaged (premade) sweets (although homemade desserts were made frequently). I would get Ding Dongs when I went shopping with my grandmother and make them last... what a nice memory, thank you.

I love hearing your voice and the way you pronounced every word. I always watch your videos not just to learn new recipe but to learn more vocabularies cuz I'm planning to take IELTS to be in Canada as student and it is one of the requirements.

when the recipe stated or called for espresso powder, I was caught off guard as espresso powder is finely ground coffee bean (where i live), they are not instant coffee and does not dissolve in liquid. So i was thinking that the end product would definitely be gritty due to the espresso powder. If i were to try this recipe, i would definitely swap the espresso powder to instant coffee powder or at least substitute the frozen coffee with one or two shots of espresso. edit: seems like my comment was triggering so here is a disclaimer; my suggestions are based on where i live, type of ingredients available and details i got from the video. This is the internet so do your own research, take each comment with a pinch of salt and dont take any comments personal. :)

rewatch Emmy’s video with a headphone/volume turn up. i am sure you can recognize and hear the grittiness from the espresso powder. Emmy mentioned that after 100hrs you still do get a little grittiness though not as pronounced or obvious as before the 100hrs. Im not living in the US so the ground espresso i get here are all 100% ground coffee beans and does not dissolve so they are not considered “instant coffee” thus my suggestions and thoughts on using instant coffee or brewed espresso shots

@finningamells9569

3 жыл бұрын

I have tried it with regular instant coffee it's not the same

The grittiness is probably the brand of espresso powder you used. I only use Medaglia D'Oro and it never ever makes things gritty, it always dissolves smoothly and leaves a homogenous liquid and I've never had issues, I use it for ice cream, yogurt, syrups and sauces, marinades, smoothies, it's one of the best dissolving instant coffees out there and a smooth bold espresso taste. It also makes a great cup of espresso if you're okay with an instant substitute with a faux crema.

I think criticizing a recipe for being unnecessarily complicated when you could achieve similar results in much less time by subbing other ingredients for a more balanced end result in less time is fair. Either way, some people might love this recipe, but it's still okay to say "I think x might've worked better for y reason". There's a difference between constructive criticism and hate. I've seen some people take it way too far simply to feel better about themselves by hating on others, but at least the comments here don't fit that bill for me

The rest does nothing after about 12 hours, you just need enough time for the powders to absorb the water and the sugar to dissolve. There is no point in adding the espresso powder to the hot fat. Espresso powder is not coffee grounds, it’s freeze dried coffee. All the flavor has already been extracted the hot fat does nothing but burn it.

I was thinking about making these, and then thought “maybe Emmy will do it so I don’t have to.”

ngl was hoping she was just gonna say "yep, tastes the same"

I’m not even slightly tempted to make 100-hour brownies, but I did borrow a couple of ideas that really pumped up my box mix brownies: the browned butter, extra cocoa, and a teaspoon of instant coffee. I have always added chopped unsweetend chocolate for the “chips” which adds amazing texture, and helps average down the excessive sweetness of the box mix. Adding lots of walnut can also help with that. I also sometimes sprinkle some flake salt on top.
