Even with local ingredients, the result was excellent. The texture is incredibly smooth and truly reminiscent of traditional cheesecake. It’s impressive how well it sets without relying on eggs, gelatin, or similar agents—pure chemistry at its best. I paired it with a raspberry sauce blended with maple syrup, ginger, and a splash of lemon juice to balance the sweetness, which looked fantastic. Thanks for sharing this recipe from Amsterdam, Netherlands.

I’m a huge fan of bagels but don’t always have the time to make them from scratch, so I turned to Emmymade’s recipe. I mixed jalapenos and cheddar cheese right into the dough. It required a bit more flour and kneading than usual, but the effort paid off. I also topped them with jalapenos and cheese after the egg wash. While they needed the full 35 minutes to bake, the result was perfect—crispy and golden brown. They taste exactly like a real bagel, no complaints at all. Thanks for sharing this great recipe; I’m looking forward to experimenting with more varieties.

The ingredient list in Emmymade’s recipe feels a bit disorganized, and the proportions don't seem to match the original version exactly. You might find it useful just for the text instructions, sparing you the trouble of watching the entire video on YouTube, but I’d skip it overall.

Hi Emmy, I’ve been making this cake for every child’s birthday for about 25 years—since the Matilda movie came out! I even have the original recipe card from back then. I stumbled upon your blog emmymade.com while searching for the recipe online and just had to reach out to mention that your metric conversions seem a bit off (8oz is 250g, not 340g, right?). Sending this in a spirit of gratitude!

I’ve been coming back to this cake recipe from Emmymade for years. I originally made it in 2018 and just recreated it last night, and it was a hit again. It’s incredibly rich right out of the oven, so I actually skip the ganache topping—it’s plenty decadent on its own. A quick tip for anyone using the online version: it’s missing the egg yolk. You need to beat that into the melted chocolate mixture before folding in the whites. Emmy mentions this in her video tutorial, which is a huge help. Thanks for sharing such a reliable recipe on emmymade.com!

Dean from Perth here. My Tokyo-born wife usually makes these dishes, but she sent me a recipe when we had leftover curry rice and a sudden craving. It looked a bit tricky and time-consuming, so I searched online and found Emmymade’s version. Huge relief! The instructions are straightforward and the video guide is excellent. My first attempt was a success, so much so that I doubled the batch to prep school lunches for my two girls tomorrow. I’ll definitely be visiting emmymade.com more often. Cheers!

Shoutout to Emmymade for this stellar recipe that I’ve tweaked and baked countless times to perfection! One small tip for future bakers: watch your abbreviations. My partner confused “t” with teaspoon and ended up using tablespoons for the baking powder and salt because “tsp” appeared elsewhere in the ingredient list. Switching to “tbs” might save some confusion, but honestly, the result is still fantastic enough for five stars.

I appreciate the texture of Emmymade’s waffles, though the flavor profile was a bit lacking for me. I followed the metric measurements (thanks for including those!) and used a quarter teaspoon of salt instead of the recommended half. This batch yielded six waffles, though two were slightly thinner than the rest. They had a lovely soft texture, which was refreshing since I usually prefer Liège waffles. Personally, I found them a bit too salty and sweet; next time, I’ll likely cut the sugar in half and stick to a quarter teaspoon of salt. To balance the flavor, I served them with melted chocolate.

I finally got around to trying the recipe, mostly because I had an old piece of ginger sitting in my pantry for weeks. I originally bought it hoping to make it when I came down with a cold, but I never got sick—haha! For the ginger, I crushed it using a garlic press and strained it through a fine sieve. I really think it’s crucial to get that thick, cloudy sediment that settles at the bottom; just give it a quick stir before adding the milk so it doesn’t get left behind. I found that using cheesecloth might filter out some of that good stuff. When adding the milk, pour it in quickly to let it blend with the ginger without needing extra stirring. I stuck with whole milk, warming it in the microwave using a silicone measuring cup for about two and a half minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until it hit 175°F. The result was absolutely delightful. Best of luck!

I just received my order from Emmymade and I’m thoroughly impressed. Living in Metro Detroit, I consider myself a Buddy’s pizza expert, and this product nails the authentic taste, look, and texture every time. I managed to source the brick cheese at a local fruit market, so my only requirement was securing the proper metal pan to get that signature crust (I experimented with glass, but the results were already incredibly close). Considering the high cost of eating out or buying their frozen semi-baked versions, this kit offers a fresher, superior-tasting alternative for a fraction of the price.

As a regular visitor to Emmymade.com, I was eager to recreate their viral spaghetti-to-ramen dish. The depth of flavor in the tare and the aromatic oil truly set this recipe apart. It turned out fantastic, and I’m already planning to serve it at my next get-together. My only tip for future cooks: keep a close eye on the noodles to avoid them getting too soft. Highly recommended!

I’m quite underwhelmed by the recipe from Emmymade on emmymade.com. I followed her instructions precisely to test it out, and now I feel like I’ve wasted three days! The brownies came out too bitter; it seems she added an extra coffee cube and cut nearly half the sugar without mentioning it. I wish she had noted that she significantly altered the recipe. I don’t feel like I’ve truly tested it without actually following the correct proportions. That significant amount of missing sugar will impact both the flavor and the texture. I recommend skipping this recipe. Taste Of Home has a printed version on their website if you want the real recipe.

I doubled the recipe and the result was perfect, with minimal effort. Honestly, this might be the best fudge I’ve ever had. It has a smooth, rich texture without any grittiness, and the salt really balances out the sweetness nicely. I’ll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a lifesaver for someone like me, living far from my Michigan roots. I decided to skip Amazon and order my brick cheese straight from the Wisconsin Cheese Mart online, which was a great move. The result? A delicious sauce and a crust that was perfectly crunchy. Highly recommend for homemade pizza fans!

I followed the Emmymade recipe but tweaked it for my own lazy, one-bowl preferences. Emmy was spot on about the bitterness. I dissolved my instant coffee in warm water and mixed it only into the browned butter, skipping the extra coffee in the batter. I then folded in the cacao powder and added the semisweet chocolate to the warm butter, letting it melt while the butter cooled. Finally, I mixed in the vanilla, salt, sugar, eggs, and flour. I topped them with a bit of extra chocolate for flair and baked them immediately without waiting for the batter to age. Honestly, they turned out even better and easier than the original instructions suggested.

I’d totally recreate this dish at home, though I’d skip the melon baller step. Your videos are a staple in my kitchen, and several of your recipes have earned a permanent spot in my weekly rotation. Thanks for sharing your talents, Emmy! Laurie from the Mohawk Valley in Upstate New York

Living in the Southeast US, I’m struggling to track down the Melon Flavored Creamsicles. I did manage to order a Melon Flavored Milk Drink by Binggrae on Amazon. I’m curious if using that beverage as the base for homemade freeze-pops would capture that same authentic Emmymade flavor?

I’m a huge fan of Emmy’s recipes! I tried this dish for the first time and made a small mistake by forgetting the milk initially. After realizing I’d skipped that step, I added it along with the flour. The dough was a bit wetter than what was shown in the video, but the final result turned out perfectly. Thank you, Emmy!

As a fan of the Emmymade secret ingredient challenge, this recipe was a great fit for that theme! It was straightforward and enjoyable to make. Since I didn’t check the comments for tips beforehand, I needed to bake them a bit longer than expected. The cookies held their shape well and came out delicious despite the extra time in the oven. One thing I’m curious about: I’m tracking nutrition in my app and used a scoop size similar to yours, yielding around 42 cookies. How should I input these into my tracking app? Any advice on the nutrition data would be helpful!

I initially debated using only half the butter since the dough seemed moist enough with just the sugar and reduced fat, but I stuck to the full amount and it paid off. Letting the dough rest allowed the flour to absorb the fats properly, bringing back that perfect cookie texture. I chilled it in the freezer a bit longer than usual to prevent spreading and swapped parchment paper for my silicone baking sheet, though they flattened anyway—I suspect I might have overmixed. I had to bake them for three extra minutes to set. I opted for espresso chocolate chips to counter the sweetness, but they remained quite sweet, making them a great companion for coffee or tea breakfasts. The boiled egg really does add a nutritional boost! I managed to fit 20 cookies on a single pan without freezing any. While they turned out thinner than the round shape shown in Emmymade’s video, I absolutely loved the result. I’ll likely reduce the sugar and add a tablespoon or two of flour next time, but these get five stars for the innovative use of eggs!

Emmy’s recipes are always a hit! I used this one to save some leftover Easter eggs that had turned a bit strange, and it worked perfectly. My family couldn’t figure out the secret ingredient—they just loved how “egg-cellent” it tasted. I made a quick swap to whole wheat flour since that’s all I had, but the texture was still great. Solid 5 stars!
