I have a pinned comment below of the mistakes that I have made while making this pie. I hope you can give it a look if you are deciding to also make this pie so that you can avoid the errors that I made.

Have you ever had an earl grey pie? If you haven't and are a fan of anything earl grey flavored, then you definitely need to give this pie a try. It's the pie that my friends usually request for and is great for anytime but especially spring or summer! It starts with a pie crust that has a small layer of dark chocolate ganache. I then add earl grey pastry cream and then top it off with some whipped cream. Some chopped pistachios are added on top for decoration. This recipe is inspired by the earl grey pie sold at Pie Hole.
My process for making pie dough is linked in the video but you can also find it here: • Pie Dough Recipe - my ...
As for the pastry cream, I used Tartine's pastry cream recipe as a base.
The ingredients are for making TWO pies.
Ingredients:
Pie Dough
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
Pastry Cream
10 earl grey standard tea bags
32 oz whole milk (4 cups)
1 tablespoon vanilla paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
60 grams cornstarch (around 7-8 tablespoons)
230 grams sugar
4 large eggs
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
Chocolate Ganache
1 bar of good quality dark chocolate
A few splashes of heavy cream
Whipped Cream
4 cups of whipped cream (I used some of this for the ganache)
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Handful of chopped pistachios
*I realized post production that I overheated the chocolate 😓. I would definitely recommend heating it more gently on a simmer as opposed to my making it in a hurry.

Thank you everyone for visiting!
I learned a lot from the plethora of advice I received here.
I made quite a bit of mistakes in my video 😬 but I'm hoping to constantly learn as I keep creating!
Here are some things of note:
-stop using metal utensils on my dutch oven. I recently bought a silicone whisk! And though I do use a wooden spoon most of the times, I forget at times haha. Will make a conscious commitment to remember!
-lower the heat while melting the chocolate. I never really overheated chocolate before this but I kind of rushed the process due to recording and time constraints haha. One great tip I received is to pour the hot cream over the chocolate to let it melt gently. My only concern was that I wanted a pretty firm ganache and so I used less cream; I was unsure if the small amount of cream would be enough to melt the larger amount of chocolate?
-use less corn starch. I used Tartine's recipe for pastry cream and they suggest 4 tablespoons or 60ml of corn starch for their banana cream pie. I was making a double batch so opted for around 100ml but it seems that even that was a bit too much for my preference. Will use probably around 85-90ml or even less next time.
-fully whip the pastry cream before adding in the whipped cream. Do this to prevent lumps! D: I read before to not whisk it too much because it will break down the starch and loosen the cream, but I realize that.... that's exactly what I wanted to happen.... hahahha
-mix the sugar and corn starch together first before adding the eggs. Easier incorporation of the eggs!
-don't squeeze the teabags? I'm still 50/50 on this one. I understand the science of it since squeezing the teabags will release more tannins which adds a bitter taste. But I kind of like the tannins in this pie; it adds some bitterness to offset the sweetness.
Some tasty alterations I read that people suggested:
-adding lavender
-white chocolate ganache
-not including the chocolate. If you're not a huge fan of chocolate, or even feel as if the chocolate will overpower the earl grey flavor, this pie works just as well without it. :)
You can actually get a much firmer ganache even if you use a larger amount of cream. 2:1 is the golden ratio, basically once it cools down in the fridge you can control how firm it is based on how much air you impart on it afterwards. all you need to do is whip it a bit less as you let it cool, and ensure you do not *over whip* to ensure it doesn't break. hope this helps!
Wow, what a lovely way to respond to criticism in the comments section. I really enjoyed the video, and these updates are so very helpful for a beginner like me. I love Earl Grey. Seriously, my family buys me earl grey cookies every Christmas because they know I'm obsessed with the tea. I can't wait to try this.
A few seconds in the microwave and then pouring the warm cream over the half-melted chocolate is another good way if you don't think your cream is enough heat.....and I do mean SECONDS. Ten seconds then stir to check it! Also, I do wonder if maybe a salted caramel might compliment the tea better than chocolate anyway.....lavender sounds lovely, but a hint of orange or grapefruit zest and the smallest drip of rose oil and you'll have a Lady Grey pie~ Experiments are fun! (Also, your dutch oven is coated in ceramic, it looked like....a metal utensil isn't the end of the world.)
The Squeezing the tea bags thing should be fine for this because tannins bind to fat--that's why you add cream to coffee to offset the bitterness. The whole milk will cancel out the bitterness for the most part so it's palatable. For something with less fat in it, though, you can get something inedibly bitter--like if you ate the used tea leaves after removing them from steeping.
I wouldn't worry about squeezing the tea bags if you aren't getting the milk to a boil which would scald it. Black teas can't fully extract until close to boiling anyway and tannins won't really come out however I would try making an earl grey syrup rather than adding it straight to the milk (you could use less bags cause tea will concentrate quite a bit in water. Alternately you could just leave the tea bags in milk overnight. Both tannins and caffeine only extract with heat so you wouldn't get either but you would get all the flavour (which is why most sweet tea is decaf cause it's cold brewed).
When I see all these other bakers with their stand mixers and their custom made granite counter tops, I think to myself "I wish I could do that." But when I see you baking with regular equipment in a regular apartment, it makes me feel like I can do it.
I always think when I see cooking videos with fancy equipments "how did people bake back in the day without all that?" and it also helps me realize I can do it!
Yeah! Like, it's nice to see a "professional-grade" kitchen being used to create quality recipes. But genuinely relatable cooking videos like this one are just as appealing and more encouraging. Sometimes people just want something scrumptious and homey, not some commercial level perfection.
When there is a will, there is a way. Always
@@Lina_Bagel yahhh
You can ❤
Man, I really love it when cooking youtubers show their mistakes in videos. It's really, really nice to see imperfection in a world where it feels like everything we do or create has to be pretty, good, or aesthetically pleasing. Seeing someone mess up or burn their baking but continue anyways kind of takes the pressure off. I don't know, it's just reassuring to see other people be human
Yeah!! Honestly, the fumble at 0:07 is what made me stay to watch the whole video, lol. ~Aesthetic~ stuff where everything is *just so* is honestly kind of disheartening. It's so nice seeing people just being people. 😊
Cooking is about experimenting and that's what this video shows really nicely. That's the fun with cooking. No need for perfect!
i admire your ability to appreciate the very bare bare minimum
Yea I enjoyed hearing the tiny laugh when he cut the chocolate and it went sideways lol
@@bloomf8156 yes! You live a happier life if you learn to appreciate the small and mundane things :)
yo I made this pie, and I can confirm; it is very craveable. The earl grey moose is perfectly sweet with a subtle tea flavor, even when combined with the chocolate.
Absolutely delicious, can recommend anyone to make it (if you have 4 hours hehe)
Yay! Im so so glad you enjoyed it!! But yes its definitely labor intensive! Haha
what size did you use for the pie mould?
I appreciate the flavor subtle-tea
If you want to cut down on the time, use prepared pie crust😊
The sieve step looks so infuriating
I like your style. No words, just music and cooking. No fancy backdrop and fake pristine kitchen. Just a real person making a real pie. It reminds me of the old-school youtube days.
Staying home in my pajamas and making pie. That's my idea of a good day.
I whole heartedly agree!!
Amen to that!
Yes! Except for the dishes. It's all relaxing and fun until you have to clean up the kitchen lmao.
Kia Ora Joshua, I’ve just discovered your lovely channel and was charmed by your work. If I might be so bold and make a few small suggestions?
I would pour the infused milk through a large sieve set over a bowl and squeeze very gently.
I would reduce, possibly halve the quantity of cornstarch used, as the even that much will make the pie set, even with adding the whipped cream.
When you go to beat the cold custard before adding the whipped cream, try blending it with your handheld cake beaters or even an immersion stick blender. It will save your whisk and arm, making the mixture so smooth that you can easily fold in the whipped cream without deflation.
Try chilling your pastry for 30 minutes before blind baking, and you should see way more definition in your beautifully baked crimped crust, which I was greatly admiring when you were shaping it!
You can use a bit more hot cream, poured over your bowl of chopped chocolate for your ganache so that it doesn’t seize. I apologise if the suggestions are a bit too much, but let’s put it down to a professional deformation. Good luck with your channel, it is completely charming. Peas and Lovage from New Zealand!
Me too and that’s how I got a husband lol
I have watched many cooking videos but this one was the most fascinating I have ever seen. Earl Grey pie? Who knew! Oh to be one of your friends!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
i have to inform you im the 666th like
Very darling!
Oi 🙄I asked to be his friend first, i will have a second birthday if necessary. One of these scrumptious pies will be mine. Isn't that right ? friend🤗😉🖖👀
i made this pie! i used chai tea bags instead and added cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling. actually amazing. i love pie.
YUM I too would choose Chai with nutmeg and cinnamon over Earl Grey
Earl and Lady Grey tea are so underrated. They’re both so smooth and delicious.
Right? And they go so well with so many things!
I did not know there was a Lady Grey tea, gotta try that!
Not by me - if I were still drinking tea, it’d be Earl Grey every day 👍
@@persebraIt has a twist of lemon added, just right for those of us who add milk
what's the difference
Just one more piece of advice, if you don't mind: When you're done making the whipped cream, I suggest you put half in the fridge immediately and before you start incorporating it into your pastry cream. That way, your whipped cream for topping will remain stiffer, and you won't lose as much volume as you did in the video.
I think this would be great with a digestive/graham cracker crust as well! Like biscuits and tea
I wonder! I think digestives might be too salty sometimes
@@DrBitchcraft.hobnobbers
I agree! I don't like pastry so much.
That’s such a good alternative!
good sir, this pie is my first attempt to reenter the world of baking after years of being unmotivated (not counting the chocolate chip cookies i made because they swiftly disappeared for some reason)
I haven't even gotten past the pastry yet. I just put that delicious cream in the fridge. But I'm licking the spatula right now and i can already tell this pie is going to be transcendent. absolutely MARVELOUS
Can we.. be friends?
I wanna be your friend
I never realized how nice it would be to just watch somebody cooking and not be given the play-by-play... Big fan of this style of video, and to my eyes the pie looks amazing. Have you considered possibly doing the art as a segment, or as separate videos?
I looove Plan:D for silent cooking vlog content just like this, thought I'd recommend her too!
The play by play is in the subtitles
Great video and I’m definitely gonna try this recipe. Just a few tips I think it might help you next time:
1- when making the custard is easier to mix the eggs + sugar first then add the potato starch and mix it.
2- it’s easier to whip the custard prior to mixing it with the whipped cream, it saves you a lot of work and time. I hope this helps 😊
Yes! I kept making mistakes since Im not used to cooking in front of a camera but will definitely remember your advice for next time. Thank you.
@@joshuacooksthendraws also that is a lot of corn starch. you have the power of eggs in the custard too. it wont be so chunky in the end if you use less. Probably about half of what you used.
@@joshuacooksthendraws And use a thermometer for the custard. 160F- 165F then remove from heat.
I love how you take the ingredients from the original place you put them, instead of putting them in separate bowls and making multiple dishes
This looks amazing! I recently made an earl grey lavender tiramisu. It was really wonderful so if you enjoy early grey flavor I definitely recommend making that sometime in the future :)
I love tiramisu and an earl grey lavender flavored one sounds amazing! Thanks for the recommendation!
That sounds amazing! My 14 daughter asked for a "kid" tiramisu for her b day - I made her hot chocolate banana pudding tiramisu! It was a hit at her party!
Please share the recipe!!!
Yum, lavendar earl grey is my favorite.
@@mamamua4644 I second this!
as someone that lived within driving distance of the pie hole for years but never wanted to pay the earl grey pie *price,* thank u u are the best for sharing this
Thanks! And yes. I love pie hole but was always shocked with the $8.50 per slice price. So I tried making my own! haha
@@joshuacooksthendraws ITS. ATROCIOUS. i cry every time i see it TT_TT
Watching this at 2:15 am while raining outside such good vibes
Even though this has probably been a LOT of feedback I just want to say I loved this video! I'm a pastry cook so yes I may do a few things differently but I loved watching you cook! I look forward to watching more of your channel in the future. Cooking is one of those things that every single person and their neighbor has extremely strong opinions on the right and wrong way (ESPECIALLY pastry and baking since it's such a science) but no matter what making it and feeling joy is what counts. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Any adjustments you would suggest to make this even better?
I'm curious too. What kind of apartments would you make?
We sometimes get an earl grey cake from a local Korean bakery. It's maybe my favorite pastry! If I can get those flavors at home I'll be unstoppable!
Yes I love earl grey flavored baked goods! So delicious 🤤
you should go for it. :)
For the ganache - try heating up the cream over the stove and pouring it over the chocolate and stirring until melted. It keeps the chocolate from burning. :)
My sister thought she saw chocolate pudding in the fridge. She grabbed a spoon for a mouthful, and found out it was beef gravy 😆🤪🤢
Lol that must have been embarrassing 😂
Whoops
@@ChibiPanda8888 she hasn't had gravy since then. Decades🤣
I love Earl Grey anything! I even have an Earl Grey lip balm. Time to put the kettle on ❤️🇨🇦
Hey man, love the recipe! I'll definitely be making this!
I didn't see this suggestion previously, but when removing the teabags, don't actually squeeze them.
I know its tempting because you want every drop of earl grey goodness, but doing so releases tannic acid in the tea which is bitter and will also weaken the flavor.
Just add more bags if you need a stronger flavor :)
Yes!!! This pie looks delicious, but I wanted to write a comment about the astringency added from this common habit. Thank you, fellow tea lover
I do it with my cups of tea and only notice bitterness if the tea bag steeps too long.
Where’s the drawing?? Lol.
I love how you highlight the mistakes, it's great to learn from someone else's instead of repeating them!
We made it using you’re recommendation of less starch and using Claire saffitz’s pie dough recipe and it was perfect! Thank you so much for the recipe :) I would absolutely recommend (we also only made one pie so we halved everything)
So happy it turned out well and that you enjoyed it!!! 🥰
Now this is what you call an informative, incredibly helpful and easy guide. Your tips and comments on how to do better than you did truly makes viewers feel fully capable of succeeding with the recipe. You're very fun and enjoyable to watch!
I’ve wanted to make an Earl get cake for a while but was worried about losing the delicate flavor of the tea. A pie is a great alternative!! Thank you for compiling people’s comments in your pinned comment. I’m still a beginner in the kitchen so having a do/do not list is so helpful! I’m excited to try this one!!
earl grey is my favourite tea. and your way of making the rim is genius. not needing to cut and still having a pie shape without the exact pan. wow!
I am suddenly overwhelmed by an intense desire to make a bunch of pies from different kinds of tea
Love the video! Friendship is such a precious thing. To want to make things that we know our friends enjoy is truly an expression of love.
i just made this and dude it is so good you have changed my life forever
Congratulations on getting in the algorithm 🥰
Some small tips…
I think I noticed your pie crust being a bit difficult to get through at the end. That may mean it was blind-baked for a bit too long; Townsends, Bruno Albouze, and Adam Ragusea have fantastic recipes that I’ve never gone wrong with.
I noticed as well that the pastry cream was a bit thick both during the cooking stage and after cooling; it might be better to use a tad less starch so that the whipped cream is easier to incorporate later on, and you can keep some more of that lovely fluffy texture.
I’m going to try this recipe out though!!! Thank you for sharing, I’m excited!!!! 💕
Thank you for your tips! And yes I definitely plan on using less corn starch next time!!
no one asked lol
Bruno albouze recipes do not work and I will die on that hill, tried multiple times, never once worked.
Watching you is like watching an artist at work. I see your focus and I'm falling in love with watching you cook.
this video is so calming, i love how detailed and real it was! No words or face to pay attention to.. its perfect!
idk why but seeing someone make the recipe step by step makes it seem so much more doable. i love baking, but recipes like these often feel too daunting, and this video helps a ton!! i'm really excited to try it out :))
I have never had Earl Grey pie before, so I was curious about this. I love pies and will have to give this one a try. Great job with the Crust and great job with the Pastry Cream! Looks Divine!
Thank you for the such kind words! Definitely let me know how it turns out. :D
I made my first pie following this recipe. It was so good and everyone I shared it with loved it. Thank you!
I was recommended this channel by the algorithm because I like cooking/baking videos and also drawing tutorials. I think it’s SO cool how you incorporate both into your channel. It is so unique. I instantly subscribed.
I made this last week for my family and my coworkers, and everyone loved it. Since the whipped cream had to last a couple days I made the half that went on top of the pies using vanilla pudding mix to keep it stable, and while it was maybe too sweet for the rest it made for an interesting contrast.
Im so happy they loved it!!
just discovered this channel and i already love the comforting vibe of it all, your sketches are also rlly good!! i’ve never seen a channel merge two art mediums into one, can’t wait for more uploads!!! :)
Thank you!! I love to cook and draw so thought, why not combine them? Haha.
This is the first time I’ve watched your channel but… I have to say I love your username. Straight and simple, to the point, I didn’t even start the video and I knew what to expect. Perfect level of studio ghibli food romanticism. 10/10.
In my freshman year of college, my roommates and I bought a earl gray pie from a custom pie shop. I LOVED it but never considered that I could make it myself. It just seemed so above my own baking skills. Then I saw your video! I just tried the recipe this past weekend and it turned out great. Thank you so much :)
This got recommended to me randomly, and wow am I a huge fan of Earl Grey. Definitely going to try out this recipe soon. Thanks for the chill vibes and beautiful art!!!
This is the cutest thing ever it's so nice to watch right before going to sleep , so calm;)
Thank you for the very relaxing 15 minutes 😊 and great job! They look absolutely delicious!
This is one of the most relaxing cooking videos I have seen
Oh WOW! THis just looks so elegant and I can't even imagine how scrumptious Earl Grey PIE is. I love the tea, so thank you for this inspiration!😋
Thank you as well for your wholesome comment!! :)
as a home cook and baking lover, this is your first video i have watched. i don’t usually subscribe right after the first video, but i loved how you included natural things like the chocolate going elsewhere when chopping it, swapping the hands for scooping and whisking the tea mixture, showing that it’s not easy to make the whipped cream look nice at the end. many other content creators have such an aesthetic vibe that it comes off sort of daunting and disappointing when our recreated products don’t look as good or the process isn’t as easy as shown. your video is just showing us that it’s normal! it’s very encouraging. thank you!
exactly
I've made this pie twice now. I made it first for a christmas gathering and everyone loved it. 2nd pie was made just for my household so we could enjoy more of it. Highly recommend this pie. The tea flavor comes through so well and the chocolate and creme balance it all.
I have made a couple of times earl grey & lavender creme brulee... I don’t even like floral flavors much, but it was so good. Earl gray pie sounds dreamy 😍♥️
I might actually try this out once I've got my kitchen again. Love the idea of making an earl grey pie
Hope you get your kitchen back soon!!
And I definitely recommend giving it a try. I love this pie! haha
😳Hon don’t do it! google this recipe and do that one,I hope I’m not too late.
Man your music choice in these are absolutely jazz-ilicious!
i find these kind of videos endearing because it felt much more like home than the usual professial cooking videos.
This is such a good idea for a pie! I love earl grey and London fogs so this is totally up my alley. I am a good cook but a very amateur baker, but I feel confident that I can do this recipe justice after watching you do it! I don't want to reiterate too much of what commenters have already said, but this style of video is so comforting and nice to watch. Keep making them :)
it's so proper title now i understood why your friends always crave x) i baked it for a friend and she loooooove it!! i was worried if it's too sweet but not that sweet at all (as korean, it is a best compliment)
I’m definitely going to make this one!! We love Earl Grey tea and the addition of chocolate sounds delicious!!
I've never even heard of Earl Grey pie, so I had to watch.
It looks wonderful.
Also, thank you for just cooking, not the endless and usually unneeded commentary.
videos like these inspires me to cook and watching these makes me feel so comfy too
The art is what made me click, delicious title aside. That is the most beautiful depiction of a pie I've ever seen.
Wow thank you so much!! 😭🥰
i loved seeing your process step by step! I think my top takeaway is that crimping of the pie dough. I'm going to do that with my pies from now on.
WAAAA I LOVE THE THUMBNAIL!! And i love the way that the actual pie looks exactly as appetizing as the thumbnail TT
Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I made this for the christmas party and my family loved it❤
I know you've had loads of feedback on this recipe already, but I just thought I'd suggest adding less cornstarch, as your custard looks very very thick. You could even knock it down to half and things would still be fine, I think. I usually add two heaping tablespoons to a pint of milk for a thick custard, an extra heaping tablespoon if I want it to set like a milk pudding when it's cold. It'd make your lovely earl grey custard much easier for you to mix, too, and probably no lumps either (if you stir it constantly).
Fantastic recipe, I'd never thought of an earl grey flavoured pie. It sounds amazing!
I've never wanted to eat or make a pie in my life until watching this video 🤤
I love earl grey tea , and I love pie, so I think this is a match made in heaven for me. I would love to try and make this myself. Thank you for making this and showing how to do it yourself, it looks so fun to make and I bet it tastes amazing.
Definetely, one of the best pie ideas I have seen these days... It is worth a try!
Just discovered your channel through this vid and I love it! It's such a cozy vibe with delicious recipes and relaxing music. Keep up the great work!
This looks delicious! I can imagine this going amazing with white chocolate ganache. I've made earl grey cake before, with lemon/lime in it. So good!
OMG…..WHAT I LOVE THIS STYLE OF CONTENT. YOU SIR, ARE THE BEST.
Such a nice and relaxing video to watch. I also love how all of the ingredients are super common and fairly cheap making this super accessible. While a bit time consuming you helped show that it really isnt hard to make. I'll try making this with my room mate this weekend. I think it'll be fun and shes a sucker for earl grey flavored things.
I just stumbled upon this channel, and I instantly subscribed to it. Seeing you bake this pie makes me want to make it for my friend because she loves Earl Grey cake - this might be her new favourite!!! Ngl this inspires me to make my own baking channel!! Keep uploading more recipes
Awesome Recipe!
I followed along with your video recipe and the pies were GREAT!!!
I'm making a couple pies for the Senior center New Year's Eve party coming up.
We're ALWAYS Looking forward to trying something different!!!
THIS is perfect and Delicious, TOO!!! Thank You!!!
Happy New Year to You and Yours!
Looks unique. I love pie and earl grey so maybe I will try this recipe. Thanks.
I told one person about that, his response was ugh ohh I've never heard of anyone making or liking that. glad you and your friends enjoy it ☺️
No clue why this was suggested to me, but fantastic video, especially in the editing side! Both the pie and the video appear to be made with love. Such great commentary throughout explaining your thought process and artistic choices.
As someone with severe anxiety, I really enjoy your videos. I was really quite anxious before watching, sometimes I watch baking tutorials if I don't have other means of self-soothing at that moment, and I'm glad to have come across yours! Subscribing right now 💕👍🏼
Love the music❤. LOVE Earl Grey everything !! Love your humility as a creator, I’d definitely squeeze the tea bags because I want that tangy tang, we live and learn and now you’re teaching me ❤. God Bless
Thanks for sharing your video on making an Earl Grey pie! By the way, I noticed you used a smooth knife to chop the chocolate, and I just wanted to suggest that using a serrated knife might be a safer option for next time. Serrated knives are great for chopping chocolate as the teeth can grip the chocolate and prevent it from sliding around on the cutting board. This makes it easier to get a clean cut and can prevent accidents from occurring. So, if you're looking for a way to make your chocolate chopping process safer and more efficient, I'd definitely recommend trying a serrated knife. Thanks again for the delicious-looking recipe and happy baking!
I was going to suggest just this, great tip for cutting up chocolate
I didn't know this, thank you! I don't chop chocolate very often but its always a pain (not literally, thankfully I've never hurt myself doing it)
Ooooh what an interesting recipe! My mum loves tea so I'll make this for her for Easter!
Your captions are delightful as well :D
Aw thank you!!
Please let us know how it went.
Since you asked for an update, I mentioned to mum over the phone I might make one and she was like "uhhhhh idk early grey has a really strong flavour maybe you shouldn't" (even though she would enjoy it, she just doesn't want me to have 7/8ths of a spare pie I won't like)
So what I'm going to do make a test pie and eat some and distribute parts of it to my friends (and discover its delicious) then make a second, even better pie and take that to Easter!
The commentary is so wholesome and detailed.
I'm having a new kitchen completely built this year; it's been a stressy time but I know one of the first things I will make in the new kitchen is this pie. Thank you for posting a l;ovely pie recipe.
I am happy to see how you reacted to constructive criticism; many people get that wrong.
A few mistakes were made during your preparation, ok, but your pie (and the drawing) are amazing and I'm sure the flavor is spot-on.
i’m probably one of those few ones who actually made it :)
definitely tasty, and a good way to practice some popular baking tricks.
i made the pies for Easter at church, people told me they loved it.
it was a little bit too heavy for me personally though, but the caloric density is clear just from reading the recipe. can be a good thing as it feeds a lot of people! also, quite time-consuming i must say! another small thing is that I still had half a batch of the earl grey cream after covering 2 pies for some reason… it made for a lot of cream.
it was still very fun to bake it and i’m glad i tried!
i finally got to make this! it was absolutely delicious and my friends loved it! i'm glad i was able to make this because this is the first video i saw from your channel and it's the reason i subscribed! thank you for making incredible videos and keep up the good work
Im so glad you enjoyed it!!! :D thank you
I made this and added lavender tea! It was delicious for sure a must try
this pie looks delicious and im OBSSESSED with your kitchen countertops and the grey plate!
The pie looks luscious! I like the comment down below about putting some lavender syrup on it. This is one of those recipes I just have to try out. I am so curious to taste it! I like how there is no talking in the video. Everything I need to know can be understood by just watching. The relaxing cozy music puts me in the mood to bake.
Thank you! Always love to be in my pjs and cozy on days that I bake. Haha
@@joshuacooksthendraws Me too.🙂
Omg how do u only have 20k subs? Wtfffff I’m subbing your content is so calming and great and I love cooking channels and yours is so good. The drawings also
Great recipe! I added orange zest on the finished product, really kicked it up a notch.
I never thought that I would have to imagine this flavour, but that looks pretty good
Wait, I can make pie flavored after my favorite tea? That's awesome!
What a unique pie! I love recipes like this!
Thank you!!
This looks so amazing - what an intriguing recipe idea!
Okay but a cookbook with the nice lil drawings and the recipe is a must!!! 🥺
I remember once a neighbor in college came over with a bottle of earl grey infused vodka and asked to share with me. It had the sting of tannins you would expect from the tea, but also the floral notes people enjoy so much. That memory makes me think this pie might be very good, and I think I will try my own hand at making it sometime. Thank you for sharing it!
what vodka was it? i’m curious to try it :)
Looks super. A good tip with chocolate ganache that literally makes it impossible to overheat the chocolate and make it grainy is to heat the cream over the bainmarie (bowl over water) until it is warm enough to melt the chocolate, then remove the bowl from the heat and add the chocolate and stir til its melted. This way you get a tempered fully melted ganache that will not split.
Oooh thank you for the tip! Will use that method next time. I wanted a pretty firm ganache so used less cream but was wondering if all the chocolate would still melt since theres less of the heated liquid being poured on top?
@@joshuacooksthendraws you can put the cream & chocolate in the bowl at the same time, and heat it using the bainmarie. The extra heat will melt the chocolate even if the cream wouldn’t be enough to melt it on its own. Am I making sense? I’m tired lol
@@joshuacooksthendraws yees it would still melt - alternatively heat the cream over the bain marie, then turn the heat off and add the chocolate. the residual heat will melt the chocolate without cooking it too much
Thank you for this humble video I can't wait to try the pie! Happy New year🎉
This was a super cozy video and reminds me of baking with my friends ❤️ I would love to make this pie someday!
Never tried it before and I didn't know you could make earl grey pie! Earl Grey is my favorite tea, I'm definitely going to try making it!
yay! Definitely let me know how it turns out! 🥰
