Here’s how it all went down.
And before we dive in: It’s worth noting that some redditors have asked the original poster questions about some specific details and steps that were left out of the posted recipe, shown below.

But as a result, I’ll do my best to flesh out the recipe a bit more so no one leaves with any confusion.
