This Week in Serious Eats: Sweets
1. Sweet Technique: How to Make Bonbons
"For Valentine's Day this year, I won't be handing my money over to Hallmark or Hershey's or even Jacques Torres. Instead, I've invested in a gift for myself that will keep on giving to others for years to come: an acrylic bonbon mold and some high-quality dark chocolate. With these items, I can create chocolate bonbons custom-made to suit my sweetheart's (or my own) tastes." 2. We Try Every Winter Flavor from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
"Jeni's is a favorite among ice cream geeks for its creative flavors, clean, ultra-creamy texture, and stellar ingredients." 3. 5 Valentine's Chocolates We Love
"Here are 5 Valentine's chocolates we particularly adore—wonderfully executed spins on the classics and carefully crafted sweets that offer unusual (and delicious) flavor combinations." 4. Testing Momofuku Milk Bar Cookie Mixes Against Milk Bar's Cookies
"When we heard Tosi was teaming up with Williams-Sonoma to create a line of cookie mixes based on Milk Bar's top sellers, we couldn't wait to try them. How would the boxed-mix versions compare to the real thing?" 5. 7 Pecan Sweets We Love in San Francisco
"The bakers around here have clearly realized that pecans are the perfect fatty foil to extra dark chocolate as well as an excellent match for anything with caramel. From tassies to oatmeal bars, here are 7 of our favorite pecan sweets in SF." 6. Let Them Eat: Raspberry Rosewater Cupcakes
"The cupcakes delicately exhale rosewater, their cores beat with red raspberry hearts, and their gently iced tops lie demurely under sugar-dusted satiny petals." 7. BraveTart: Make Your Own Conversation Hearts
"The heartfelt mottos of yesteryear (SOUL MATE and BE TRUE) mingle with the inane (REACH 4IT and GAME ON) like drunk texts from an ex on Valentine's Day, lurching between sophomoric come-ons and bursts of lucid sincerity." 8. Chocoholic: White Chocolate Cheesecake with Cherry Topping
"To put my chocoholic spin on the diner version, I fold a heaping dose of melted white chocolate into the batter. White chocolate has an unequivocal creaminess, which perfectly balances the tangy cream cheese, sour cream, and hint of lemon." 9. Wake and Bake: Brown Butter Cornbread
"The brown butter gives this cornbread a warm, nutty flavor. I use the coarsest cornmeal I can find so that I still get that great, sandy texture." 10. Behind The Scenes At Kee's Chocolates, NYC
"We spent a few hours in the kitchen with Kee herself to see how some of her popular chocolates are made." Hungry for more?
