Decadent Dessert Party

Hey, y'all

Tonight on Paula's party, it's all about ooey, gooey, decadent desserts. Mm, mm, mm

Carson Kressley, y'all, is gonna be stopping by with an outrageous dessert, banana split brownie pizza

I'm getting moist as a snack cake just hearing about it. And the sugar is just gonna keep coming

with a croissant pudding trifle. Whoo! Whoo! And the ultimate chocolate chef makes his chocolate mess dessert

Cheers. Cheers! So go get your sweet tooth and come on in

Let's party! Dig in! Dig in! Dig in! Y'all are so kind

Y'all are so kind. I'm so excited about today's show. You know why

Why? Because it's all about decadent desserts. I'm going to come back here, and my first guest is so sweet, so beautiful, and one heck of a cook

Come on out, Katie Joel. Yo, this is Katie Joel

Katie Joel, y'all. Katie! And I hear you're making one of my recipes right now

Oh, am I? Yes. Well, I'm going to show you exactly how I make it

Katie, you are so cute. Oh, thank you. Katie is a dear friend of mine. Katie is the wife of Billy Joel

I know that y'all loved his music for years, as I have

And Katie, not only is she beautiful, honey. Thank you. She can cook

And Katie's writing her own cookbook. Thank you. Thank you. So this is Katie's recipe

Yes. Why don't you show everybody? So this is chocolate croissant trifle

And Paula, I know you've been to Paris. Has anybody been to Paris? And they have these great chocolate croissants

And the first time I went there, I thought, I get to have chocolate for breakfast? This couldn't be any better

So it was the last day of the trip, and I thought, I want to take some home

So I got about five or six croissants, and I carried them on the plane. And I got home, of course, they were totally dried out

So I thought, I don't want to just throw them away. what can I do with it? And I came up with this bread pudding recipe. You stay out of that

All right, you got to share then if you're going to have a bite. I have to have a bite. That is so good. So decadent dessert. Let's take fattening decadent chocolate croissants

and make them even more fattening. Okay, I'm with you. Yes. I'm in. Paula's in. Who else is in

All right. Okay. So we've got three croissants that are already cut up

and I'm going to ask you to cut up these three more while I make the custard. Here, just in case anybody's germaphobic

Oh, nobody's germaphobic around here. No. Okay, one and a quarter cup of milk

Okay. Just regular milk, not cream or anything like that. I suppose you could add part cream if you wanted to

A little richer and thicker. If you wanted it to be a little richer. So I've got three eggs

Put those in there. Okay. I've got my croissants. You've got those all cut up

You're fast. All right, and then I've got some sugar. I'm hungry

Vanilla. How much sugar, Katie? It's a half cup of sugar. And then I've got some cinnamon

Come on, Missy. And some nutmeg. I suppose you could add more sugar, too, if you wanted

But later on, we're going to make this dessert into a trifle. So it's going to be even sweeter

All right. I got this all nice and beat up. Now what we're going to do, pour this over there

Get that all nice and mixed up. And then you're going to let it sit for at least ten minutes

because then they're going to absorb all that moisture, and then I'll make them nice and chewy and soft

So that looks good, Paula, but I've got one over here. Okay. So it's already set up

I think I have one. Here it is. Oh. Oh, I got the bursitis

I got the bursitis in the hip. The bursitis? Yes. Okay. You're too young to know what bursitis is

One of them ritus boys. Anything with an itis doesn't sound good. No

Mr. Itis will come visiting you soon enough, honey. Ain't that right

I won't be looking forward to it. All right. He probably already visits Billy

Probably so. Oh, God. All right, pour this in there

Do we need to spray this or anything? No, it's got enough fat in there

Here, let me hold this for you, honey, while you scoop. I'm delicate, thank you. Yes, you are

One of those delicate little southern bales. All right, look how nice and gooey that looks

Doesn't that look good? It looks very, very good. Yes. Okay. This is going to turn into the most beautiful, rich custard bread pudding

Mm. And into the oven. It looks fabulous. So we're going to bake this in a preheated 350-degree oven for how long

40 minutes. 40 minutes, y'all. So don't go anywhere. Katie Joel's croissant pudding trifle

Don't go anywhere. Next, our croissant pudding becomes an over-the-top trifle

You're worried about calories you shouldn't be eating. Not at all. And later, the outrageous Carson Kresley makes an outrageous dessert

Banana split brownie pizza. Should we feed each other like we're at our wedding

Mmm. Welcome back, everybody

Today we're cooking up decadent desserts. Now, Katie has shared her recipe with us for chocolate croissant bread pudding

Yes. But now you're fixing to turn this into a trifle. And I tell you what, I like this trifle already, Katie

Now, this bread pudding I've let cool totally to room temperature because if you put it in warm, it'll melt your pudding and your whipped cream

Yeah. So see how nice and puffy and golden brown that is after it cooks? It's so tasty

Paula, I want you to slice up that banana. Okay. Now, how do you want them sliced

Are you however you want to do it killer? I'm not particular at all And I'm gonna finish myself can't please

Yes, so we're gonna have butterscotch pudding Bananas butterscotch and candy bars you can use any kind of candy bar you want this trifle You know one of the great things about making a trifle is you can really mess it up You cannot mess it up You can mess it up It like one of those classic desserts You can take whatever you have around the house

If you don't want to use bananas, you can use strawberries. If you don't want to use butterscotch pudding, use chocolate, use vanilla

You can use pound cake. You can use cookies. Anything. You know, there's just no rules

No, no rules at all. Whatever you kind of have left over. I always think they're so pretty, especially for a party

You put it in one of these dishes, and it's always best to make it the night before

which is great when you're entertaining because when it sits for a long time

those layers really settle, and they set up so nicely so that when you dip into it with a spoon, it comes out so good

I love it. I do, too. But it's perfect for a party. And the grand thing to me, Katie, about trifles is that they're so easy to make

They're not intimidating at all. I mean, no muss, no fuss. Exactly. And it's cheap

It's really cheap. And you can't mess it up. Not cheap. Inexpensive

Yes. We don't use the words cheap, do we, honey? No. I'm not free, but I am reasonable

We should ask Michael about that. I don't know. He'll tell you

I'm not free. Now we're going to put half of this trifle. You want me to put the bowl up here

so you can reach it? All right. We're going to layer it. Okay

See, this is cut into squares, you know. Makes it easier. Oh, this is still a wee bit warm

A little warm. I love it. If you're making it at home, let it cool all the way

Well, it's not warm enough to melt anything. Okay, good. Now put that butterscotch pudding

Put about half of it on there. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Now that looks good to me

Such a beautiful golden color. Isn't it pretty? Yes. That looks fabulous

And then we're going to dump some of these bananas on here. Like half

Yeah, like half of them. Scatter them on there. And see how easy this is

You know, you don't have to be a pastry chef to make a beautiful dessert

Dessert can be intimidating because you think, oh, it has to look so pretty. I can't ice a cake pretty to save my life, so I love making a trifle

All right, now the best part, some candy bar. Gonna just rub that chocolate off a little bit

Okay. You know, and it is, it's so important, Katie, that when we go into the kitchen, we should really have fun

Absolutely. You know, it's very hard when we walk out our door every day

Life can be hard. When we come back into our kitchen, it should not be hard

It should be fun. I'll tell you what's gonna be fun. And easy. What's gonna be fun

Eating this. All right. So, some whip chopping. Now, see, that's the only difference

I would use fresh whipped cream. Well, here's the reasoning behind this

because I found when you make a trifle that sometimes it just doesn't set up as well

when you use the whipped cream. Your whipped cream, you're exactly right, Katie

So this, you know, it sets up a little bit better. It will kind of become a little liquidy

if you don't whip your whipping cream thick enough. And you have to be careful

because, you know, if you take whipping cream one step too far

turns back to butter. But this is good. I mean, it's easy to do

It'll do. And not that we care, but it's like no calories almost

I don't think that matters with this. That really doesn't matter, does it

No, if you're worried about calories, you shouldn't be eating this at all. All right, I'm starting all over with the layers

Okay. Back to the bread pudding. Yeah, this bread pudding doesn't have calories either

Oh, I know it doesn't. No, it is very, very light and low-fat

All right, let's start over, then, with the butterscotch pudding. Oh, the butterscotch

Don't you forget that. I won't, honey. You keep a lady straight. Look how pretty that is

And then we'll put the bananas. Katie. Doesn't that look good? Yes

All right, throw the bananas in there. I couldn't resist. One little lick

Oh, and more of these. Yes. I'm gonna save just a little bit of the candy bar

to decorate with on top. And then more of the whipped topping

Now that's decadence. Look at that. Katie! And more candy bar. Well, let's just go all over

Now you be the judge. Katie, it's beautiful. Look at that, y'all

I'm just digging right in. Make sure you get some of the croissant in there

Okay. Get a little bit of everything. What's Bill's favorite dessert? Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

No, that's Michael's favorite, too. There you go. Oh, look at that big old piece

I couldn't get it to cut. I think you can fit it in

We'll be right back, y'all. Jack of the dessert. My precious friend, Katie Jones

Next, Carson Kressley learns the ropes of the Dean family business. This is our chicken

This would give me a little bit more of fuller cleavage. And later, we're going to be making a big chocolate mess

Welcome back. Welcome back. Today's show, y'all, for those that just tuned in

it's all about decadent desserts. Ooh. So it just wouldn't be right if I didn't have a very decadent, sweet person out here with me to help me make this decadent dessert

I want y'all to welcome, like, the cutest guy in television. Come on out, Carson Kressley

Hey! How are you? I feel like we're dating. We keep seeing each other

But Jamie really showed me the ropes, and when I got scared, he would hold me like a little baby

if you wanna succeed as a Dean brother. You're not gonna make me sell sandwiches

and baskets all over town, are you? That's how everybody gets started. Okay. Come on, I'll show you

Now, you get back to making our brownie pizza. You can just whip that right on up, baby

Okay, we're going to whip away. Like about 50 strokes. 50 strokes

Faster than usual. Okay, I'm whipping. Should I be whipping faster? No, you're whipping it just right

I'm going to crank it up to... Whatever feels good to you

Oh, that's no wonder you like this mixer so much. This is fun

You don't want to overbeat this, Carson. You just kind of want to wet all your ingredients together

All right, now I want to show you a little trick. Okay. Clean your beaters. Yes, clean my beaters

Uh-huh. We're going to turn this down. Uh-huh. And then we're just going to slowly raise it up

See, it's on low. Oh, that's fantastic. This is the dangerous part. Whoa

Okay. Just like SeaWorld. You get a little splash, but you'll be fine

So see that cleaned our beaders. Fantastic. And, Carson. Can I lick the beader

Absolutely. Oh, take it off the thing, though. I'm worried. Okay. And I need to lose a tongue that way

Oh, my God, I beat again? Beat again. Do I put the, um... When I tell you..

Oh, hi, bossy. Okay. There we go. I'm going to use my..

Oh, it's all clunky in my... Look, it's just staying in there. But listen, you've got to beat it

Beat it. Okay. Okay. All right. Now, you want to make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature, right? Okay

So it won't be hard to beat. Okay. Otherwise it would be so lumpy and clumpy and not spreadable

Okay, I hate when it's not spreadable. I hate it too. Let's see what this is. Okay

Keep beating. Keep beating. Keep beating boy, till I tell you to quit, okay? Okay, I'm beating, I'm beating

Alright, this is sugar. Okay. I have accidentally before picked up the salt thinking it was like sugar

That's not good. No, that's not good. One day I was trying to burn the sugar on top of creme brulee

Right, with a little blow torch? Yes, and it was salt, and I said, this thing ain't burning

Okay, this is getting nice and light and fluffy. All right, now turn that down a little bit so I won't mess this up

Oh, okay. All right, now we're going to add some crushed pineapple

Okay. Why do you keep wanting to put your beater down I don know I sick of beating I want the real thing Come on Come on Beat it boy Oh I have to beat it here Just a little bit On low now

All right. Okay. All right, there you go. Now we're going to spread

Yes, just spread that out. Okay, beautiful. All right. Okay, now what

Oh, these. Yes. All right. Okay, we're just sprinkling. A little cherries

Little cherries. And see how pretty, see how pretty this one was made

But you can still make it pretty, but you. Oh, and then we can. All right. Now drizzle

Oh, drizzle. I was going to garnish. I always do that. I drizzle, then I garnish

Okay. Slowly now, slowly, and make it pretty. Make it pretty. I'm going to do like a crisscross

Yes, I love it. Oh, look at that. Perfect. All right, now, reach over there and get our whipped cream. Okay

And get our mint. Our mint. See, our beautiful mint. Right. I always like to serve vegetables with my desserts. Okay

Yeah, for a little fiber. Absolutely. This is the healthy part. Yes. Okay

Doesn't this look great? It sure does. Now do we garnish? Yes

Do we put a sprig right here? Yes, you know how to do it. I used to always put the parsley in my mashed potatoes

and make a little lake and then put the parsley in like a tree. Yes. Yeah, and then my parents are like, I don't think he's right

You're gay? What? Didn't the food landscaping, Kluyen? All right, so you've got the knife on your side

This big giant thing? The big one. Okay, should we eat this one

Well, do you think which is the prettiest? This one looks much more decadent

I think so. Okay, should I slice right in here? Yes, cut it just like a pizza, Carson. Okay

Yes. Okay. All right, look. See your little pie server? Look how cute these plates are with the little reindeer on them

I knew that you would love them. I love those. I knew that you would. Uh-uh, your pie cutter

Your pie server. Ooh. Ooh, that one's a little snippy today. Okay, just making dessert pizza here

Now that's beautiful. Wait, I'm not done yet. Okay. Let me give you a little dollop

Okay. Okay. And then a little spriggage. Yes, it's your job to make it pretty

Exactly. Look at that. Oh, here. Beautiful. Now do we get to dig in

Yes, we get the digging. Should we feed each other like we're at our wedding

Yes. Mmm. Mmm. Isn't that yummy? Mmm. Mmm

It's like a banana split, isn't it? Mmm. I love that. Listen, tell everybody we'll be back in a minute

We'll be back in a minute. We'll be back in a minute

With more decadent dessert. Mmm. Carson Cresley, everybody. Thank you so much

Thank you, my love. Coming up, there's nothing yummier than this chocolate chef in my kitchen

Welcome back. If you like chocolate, this next guest is going to blow you away

He is like the king of chocolates. He owns chocolate restaurants now, y'all

Not chocolate candy stores, but chocolate restaurants all over this world. Max Brenner, come on out

Brought you some chocolate for the party. Thank you. So we're sure going to have enough, no

Now, y'all, his name is Max Brenner. Are you Ewell's son? They put enough makeup, you know, that people can see

You know who Ewell Brenner is? Of course. You do? You really do

I'm trying to imitate him, you know? You are. Well, you're doing a good job. You know, I have to say

I think you might have the perfect shape of the head. Thank you very much. Sorry

Listen, I want you to tell everybody about your chocolate restaurants. Yeah

Now, he has two in New York City, correct? Correct. 12 in Australia

12 in Australia. Singapore, Philippines, Israel. How many like... Selling some chocolate in the world. I would say that you are. Well, you know, I would think, Max, that chocolate would be fairly easy to sell

Yeah, it's fairly easy to... I don't know anybody that doesn't love it. Why didn't I go open a chocolate restaurant

I don't know why I didn't think about that. So what have you got here? You've got three different kinds of chocolate

Yeah, it's three different kinds of really heavy Willy Wonka style bricks of chocolate

Willy Wonka. Willy's one of my favorite people. Really? Yes. Mine too

And we're going to use some of this chocolate to make a real amazing thing that I call it a chocolate mess

Chocolate cake with ganache, with caramel, with ice cream. And we're going to eat it with spatulas directly from here

Are you kidding me? And we're going to fulfill our team. You're a man after my own heart

So the cake thing is very simple, okay? Because you can take any cake, chocolate cake you want

but the most important thing is to keep it inside the pan. Keep it inside the pan

It's the best. All right, now what kind of chocolates do you have here? So we have here white, dark, and milk chocolate

Milk chocolate, okay, that's what I thought. In order to use it, you know, I love to use chocolate this way

So we're going to slice some chocolate. This is for you. Maybe because it's a party, we'll give some to other people here

Oh, my gosh. My favorite is milk. It's a party, no? Cheers

Cheers! Kind of a chocolate sandwich, no? Oh, my goodness. Where did this chocolate come from

Belgian. That's good. So we're going to make something very simple, but very basic in chocolate. You should put some attention

to what I do because we're teaching the audience. So we're going to make the most basic thing in chocolate, but you can do

anything in it because the most simple it is cream and chocolate

Right. Always the best. Simple is always the best. Yeah, especially in chocolate

I mean, the more sophisticated you will do it, you will probably ruin it because it's good

Like you see, it's good like this. So the only thing you have to do, and you can use it after for whatever you want

for a chocolate fondue, for a sauce on an ice cream. You just take a cup of cream and you boil it

And then you pour it on the chocolate. I understand today I'm not going to get any help from Paula, so I'm going to do it by myself

I lost you, huh? You supposed to feed me last You don start off feeding me I get distracted So what you gotta do is just mix the cream with the chocolate

The hot cream is gonna melt that chocolate. And you can add whatever you want. I am really a fan of cinnamon

Uh-huh, me too. So, you just add some cinnamon, but you can add any spice

And I love almonds. Do you love almond? Love it. Love almond. So, we're gonna take..

By gosh I love a ganache. Take this thing. We gonna shoot up

No, it's a chocolate fix for you because... I was thinking I had a problem

The thing is that after this thing, you really need a chocolate fix

So we're gonna take some chocolate with our syringes. It doesn't come up. Oops

Here, take this one. Uh oh. You get it? Take this chocolate

Take this chocolate face. I'm making all kind of lewd noises. Are you kidding me

Try a little. Okay. Is it good? You want to share with somebody

Yeah? You want to try? Sure. Open up those pretty teeth. Mm

Gargle. Open up, honey. She doesn't do it. Mm. It's pretty good, isn't it

Good, huh? Let's put some on the cake. So, we're gonna... Woo

All right, so we're gonna put some chocolate... Wait, wait, wait, wait

We gotta go on break, Max. Don't go anywhere. We're gonna see what he's gonna finish doing

with this chocolate cake. I'm just going with you. Next, I'm doing some finger painting

with one of my favorite chocolate chefs. What am I? The chocolate diva

Oh, I like that! Welcome back

I'm sorry I had to stop you, Max, But finish up this chocolate mess

So we're going to put on the cake some chocolate ganache. Yes, I like that

The more you put, the better. The better it gets. All right

So I just put it around. And it's important that you leave your cake in the pan, y'all

Yeah, because if we want to fulfill a childhood dream, we must eat it directly from the pan

We must. What are we going to do after? What is this? This is a caramel

The most easy thing to do, kind of a toffee thing. You take sugar and you just mix it until it melts

When it totally melting just sugar that I put on fire mixing it and slowly slowly by mixing it it is melting So you just going to brown it off and this was regular white sugar white and a light brown or dark brown or anything

And that's how it looks like. Now, in order for it to stay soft, we take some..

I was going to say, I always like to add a little cream. Yeah, a little cream. And can you help me

Yes, I would be delighted. And I'll mix it. Do you need a whiz? It's a real family thing because somebody has to pour and somebody has to mix

That's what's so fun about cooking. It's a great activity to do with somebody

Absolutely. Or if you need therapy, it's a great thing to do alone and tell everybody to get out of your hair

So we are mixing now our candy toffee concoction. Meanwhile if you're bored you can have some chocolate

Oh thank you. I'm not bored but... Alright. Don't leave me alone okay
