Decadent Desserts

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 in the snack cake just hearing about it

And the sugar is just gonna keep coming with a croissant pudding trifle. Oh

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 had 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 them

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! Okay. Paula's in. Who else is in? Alright. 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. Just regular milk. I suppose you could add part cream if you wanted to

He wanted to. A little richer and thicker. He 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, is there a sugar shortage? 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 10 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

It's already set up. I think I have one. Here it is. Oh

Oh, I got the bursitis. I got the bursitis in my hip

The bursitis? Yes. Okay. You're too young to know what bursitis is

One of them right-us boys. Anything with an itis doesn't sound good. No

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

Mmm. 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. Yay! Next, our croissant pudding becomes an over-the-top trifle

You're worried about calories you shouldn't be eating. That's at all. And later, the outrageous Carson Cresley

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 particular? However you want to do it. I'm not particular at all. And I'm going to finish cutting up this candy bar

And we're going to slice all four of these. Yes. So we going to have butterscotch pudding bananas I love butterscotch pudding 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't mess it up. It's 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. Exactly. at all. I mean, no muss, no fuss. Exactly. And it's cheap

Yeah. 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

Mm-mm-mm. 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

Going to 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 going to be fun. And easy. What's going to be fun

Eating this. All right, so some whipped topping. 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, it 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 old lady straight. Look how pretty that is

And then we'll put the bananas. Katie. That does not 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 going to save just a little bit of the candy bar to decorate with on top

And then more of the whipped topping. Now that's decadent

Look at that. Katie. And more candy bar. Delicious to all of it

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

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

No. Oh, 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. Second, you're right. 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 a fuller cleavage

And later, we're gonna 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

Oh, 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

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

Okay, it happens. And I think I have... And I have ambrosia

I mean, amnesia. I have ambrosia, too. I think I have ESPN

You know you might be. And I did a little thing where I went to the Lady and Sons

and I was a Dean boy for a night. I was. I worked there

Did you mop? I didn't mop at all. But Jamie really showed me the ropes

and when I got scared, he would hold me like a little baby. And we have to, I'll show you the tape

We have a tape. I met Paula Deen on Oprah. Love her. I think we're like separated at birth

And now little Bobby Dean is out sick, so I'm going to fill in for him

And I think I have what it takes to be a Dean or at least a big queen

Carson, there's some things you're going to need to know if you want to succeed as a Dean brother

You're not going to make me sell sandwiches and baskets all over town, are you? That's how everybody gets started

Okay. Come on, I'll show you. You cannot work here without being a master of the kitchen

This feels like I'm really pretty now. Wow. This is our chicken

When you go on vacation, When you go on some, you know, fabulous, you know, booze cruise somewhere

and you're, like, hooking up with Mexican guys, I'll be at the restaurant taking over

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

Ah! Ah! Oh, that's, no wonder you like this mixer so much

This is fun. You don't want to overbeat this, Carson. No. 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, 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. 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

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, until I tell you to quit, okay? Okay. I'm beating

With a little blowtorch? Yes. and it was salt and I said, this thing ain't burning

It's working. Okay, this is getting nice and light and fluffy. All right, now turn that down a little bit

with more decadent dessert. Mmm. Carson Cresley, everybody. Good. 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 us some chocolate for the party thank you so we sure gonna have enough no

now y'all his name is max brenner are you you old son

they put enough makeup you know that you know who you'll 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 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. Twelve in Australia

Twelve in Australia. Singapore, Philippines. Is wrong? 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

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

and um willie'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 and we're

a man after my own heart so so the cake thing is very simple okay because uh 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 thing. Simple is always the best in it

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 almond. Do you love almond? Love it. Love almond

So, we are going to take... By gosh, I love a ganache

I was thinking I had a problem. The thing is that after this thing, you really need a chocolate fix

So, we're going to 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 fix

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. Gargle

Open up, Lonnie. She doesn't do it. It's pretty good, isn't it

Good, huh? Let's put some on the cake. So... All right, so we're going to put some chocolate dinner

Wait, wait, wait, wait. We've got to go on break, Max. Don't go anywhere

We're going to see what he's going to finish doing with this chocolate cake

I'm just going to stay 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 match

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. It is 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 That just sugar 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 whisk? 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 ok at least make a nice make a nice drawing on my

make my face on my head what do you say I understand

you make me a Buddha now I understand what is that is that the dot in the center

This is the chocolate Buddha here. Okay. Thank you. You're a Buddha. What am I

The chocolate diva. Oh, I like that. I like that. So, after our coffee is totally melted, okay
