The video is from the YouTube channel "Binging with Babish," in which the host attempts to recreate the infamous "eclair" from The Simpsons that is so rich it could kill someone. The host starts by making a choux pastry, which involves combining butter, water, milk, flour, and sugar in a saucepan, then cooking it over medium heat. The dough is then mixed with eggs to create a gooey batter, which is piped onto a baking sheet and baked in the oven.
After the pastry is cooled, the host makes a pastry cream by combining eggs, sugar, and milk in a saucepan, then tempering the mixture with a slurry made from cornstarch and sugar. The cream is then cooked over medium heat until it thickens.
The host also makes a chocolate glaze by melting dark chocolate and butter in a double boiler, then adding cocoa powder and corn syrup. The glaze is then used to coat the eclairs.
Finally, the host fills the eclairs with the pastry cream and tops them with a chantilly cream made from heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. The eclairs are then decorated with a stripe of chantilly cream.
However, the host notes that the eclairs are not quite deadly enough, so he decides to make a larger, more sinister version using a banana extract to make a "banana pastry cream." The cream is then used to fill a large pastry puff, which is coated in the chocolate glaze and topped with a chantilly cream stripe. The host jokingly refers to this creation as "la bomba" and claims that it will be his "last" creation, implying that it is deadly.

4. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until a thin layer of fond forms on the bottom of the pot.
5. Let the mixture cool, then beat in 6 eggs until fully incorporated.
6. Pipe the dough into long, thin shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake the pastry at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. To make the pastry cream, combine 150g of eggs, 40g of cornstarch, 25g of sugar, and 50g of whole milk in a heatproof bowl.
9. Whisk the mixture constantly over medium heat until it thickens.
