Claire Saffitz, the fearless pastry chef of Bon Appétit, appears to have broken once again. This time, it was over an attempt to make Almond Joys.
This time, the experienced chef tried tackling the tropical gluten-free treat. While deliberating between ways to use coconut, a small fire started on the stove behind her. There's a delightful camera zoom at 10:25.
From experimenting with prepackaged shredded coconut to getting innocent bystanders to crack open a fresh one for her, Saffitz went above and beyond to nail down Almond Joy's signature sweet coconut filling. After making a coconut paste, she added roasted chocolate-covered almonds and pipes some chocolate on top to make a gourmet version of the candy.
It turned out that her creation was testier than she thought — after leaving it overnight, the shell ended up marbling.
Who knew chocolate was so sensitive?
