• ✓ whole milk
• white sugar
• vanilla extract
• salt
• tapioca pearl
• egg yolk

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and tapioca pearls in a slow cooker until the sugar has dissolved. Turn the cooker to high setting, cover with lid, and cook for 2 hours. (If preferred, set on low setting and cook for 4 hours. Stir pudding occasionally during cooking.)
2. 2 Place egg yolks into a bowl, and whisk until smooth. Mix about 1 tablespoon of the hot pudding into the egg yolks until thoroughly combined; continue gradually mixing hot tapioca pudding into the egg yolks, slowly increasing the amount of pudding mixed in, until the yolks and pudding total about 2 cups. Slowly pour the yolk mixture into the pudding in the slow cooker until blended, whisking constantly until the egg yolks have thickened the pudding, about 5 minutes.
3. 3 Place lid back on the cooker, and continue cooking until the pudding is your desired degree of thickness, on high setting for about 30 more minutes (or low setting for 1 more hour).

Ingredients

• ✓ whole milk
• vanilla extract
• white sugar
• heavy cream
• milk
• evaporated milk
• sweetened condensed milk
• white sugar
• cream of tartar
• almond extract
• salt
• baking soda
• baking powder
• all-purpose flour
• egg
• butter
• white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. 2 Cream 1 1/2 cup sugar and unsalted butter in a large bowl until mixture is fluffy and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix 6 egg yolks into the butter mixture, stirring in each one before adding the next. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture, alternating with 1 1/2 cup milk, to make a smooth batter. Stir in almond extract.
3. 3 Beat 6 egg whites with cream of tartar in a bowl with an electric mixer until frothy; gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar until the egg whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the batter, retaining as much volume as possible. Pour the cake batter into prepared baking pan.
4. 4 Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool cake completely in pan on a rack.
5. 5 Whisk sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and 2 tablespoons whole milk in a bowl. Use a large fork or skewer to poke holes all over the cake; pour the three-milk mixture over the cake.
6. 6 Beat cream with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the whipped cream holds stiff peaks. Top the cake with whipped cream; refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Refrigerate leftovers. Cake is better a day or two after making.

Ingredients

• ✓ whole milk
• vanilla extract
• heavy cream
• semisweet chocolate chip
• water
• vanilla extract
• cocoa powder
• confectioners' sugar
• butter
• vanilla extract
• butter
• bittersweet chocolate
• egg
• cocoa powder
• cornstarch
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• white sugar
• vanilla extract
• lemon juice
• milk
• salt
• white sugar
• butter
• baking powder
• cake flour
• egg

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 3 (9-inch) cake pans.
2. 2 Make cake: Beat 4 egg whites in a glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift the beaters straight up: the tip of the peak should curl over slightly. Set aside.
3. 3 Sift together cake flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; set aside.
4. 4 Beat butter, sugar, and salt in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in cake flour mixture alternately with 1 cup milk, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla until incorporated.
5. 5 Whisk beaten egg whites a few times; use a whisk or rubber spatula to fold 1/3 of the egg white mixture into batter to lighten it. Fold in remaining egg whites, mixing just until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pans and spread evenly.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until cake is light golden brown and just pulling from the sides of the pan, 15 to 20 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then invert onto wire racks to cool completely.
7. 7 Make custard: Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, salt, flour, cornstarch, and cocoa powder in a saucepan and mix well. Whisk remaining 1/2 cup sugar into 4 beaten eggs in a medium bowl; set aside. Pour milk into sugar mixture in the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and gradually pour hot milk mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Add chopped chocolate and stir until chocolate melts.
8. 8 Return custard to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until custard is thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Transfer custard to a bowl and allow to cool.
9. 9 Make buttercream: Place butter in a large bowl. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until incorporated. Beat in cocoa powder until well combined. Mix in vanilla until smooth. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon hot water or as needed to thin frosting; mix well until desired consistency is reached.
10. 10 Make ganache: Place chocolate chips in a large bowl. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until very hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Let stand for 3 minutes, then whisk, scraping sides and bottom of the bowl, until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Allow to cool to room temperature; cover and set aside. Ganache should be spreadable and not firm.
11. 11 Assemble cake: Using a long serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion, slice each cake layer in half horizontally. Cover cake plate with strips of parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier clean up. Put a dab of buttercream in the center of the plate to keep cake from shifting. Set a cake half on the plate.
12. 12 Spread custard filling onto cake layer, taking care not to spread it too close to the edge (weight of the cake layers will cause it to spread out). Gently lay another cake round on top of the first and repeat with another custard layer. Repeat with remaining layers and custard, topping custard with the last cake layer. Chill cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
13. 13 Frost the top and sides of cake with chocolate buttercream. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm and set.
14. 14 Spread frosted cake with ganache. Remove parchment strips or aluminum foil from the cake plate. Store cake in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

• ✓ whole milk
• powdered milk
• yogurt

Instructions

1. 1 Place four 10-ounce jars in a slow cooker. Fill the slow cooker with water up to 1/3 inch of the jar rims. Remove the jars and set aside.
2. 2 Cover the slow cooker and preheat on High for about 20 minutes.
3. 3 Meanwhile, pour milk and milk powder into a saucepan and whisk to dissolve. Heat over medium heat until just steaming and a thermometer reads 179 degrees F (82 degrees C), about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and place the bottom of the pan into a bowl of ice water. Cool milk mixture until the temperature drops to 114 degrees F (46 degrees C). Lift the pan out of the ice water.
4. 4 Measure about 1 cup milk mixture and pour into a bowl. Stir in yogurt until thoroughly blended. Return yogurt mixture to milk mixture in the pan. Pour milk-yogurt mixture into the 4 glass jars, filling up to 1/2 inch of the rims.
5. 5 Check that the water temperature in the slow cooker is no higher than 114 degrees F (46 degrees C). If it is cooler, cover and allow to come to temperature. If it is too hot, uncover and turn off the slow cooker.
6. 6 Set filled jars in the warm water; the water level should be up to the level of yogurt in the jars. Cover with a folded dish towel and then with the slow cooker lid.
7. 7 Turn slow cooker off. Allow to set for 6 hours, keeping the water at 114 degrees F (46 degrees C) as best you can. Check the temperature with your thermometer after about 2 hours, taking care not to disturb yogurt. If lower than 114 degrees F (46 degrees C), turn the slow cooker to Warm for 10 minutes, then shut off again. Check temperature again at the 4-hour mark and repeat. Do not stir or poke yogurt at all during this time.
8. 8 Check yogurt after 6 hours by pressing gently on the top or tipping the jars to see if it is set; it is done when yogurt is firm and there is a thin layer of yellowish liquid on the top.
9. 9 Remove the jars from water and dry them off. Top with clean lids and place in the refrigerator.
