- Hey everybody,
0:02
it's a beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here.
0:05
I'm in my mom's kitchen and today
0:08
you and I are going to make together
0:09
a beautiful Christmas trifle
0:11
and we're going to make it right out of
0:13
my mom's cookbook, Paula Deen Cuts the Fat.
0:17
It's a beautiful trifle and it's great because
0:20
it's really, really reduced in sugar,
0:25
which is just a great thing.
0:27
My mom, it's no secret, my mom is a type two diabetic.
0:29
And for all of you out there who might be diabetic,
0:32
or just trying to look for ways to cut the fat,
0:33
it's a great recipe for you really low in sugar.
0:37
Okay. It starts with baking a cake.
0:39
So in the name of time, we've already done that.
0:42
And I want to show you that it is possible
0:45
to find sugar-free cake mixes.
0:49
You can see the brand right on the top here.
0:51
No reason to hide it, but sugar-free,
0:53
you can find them in your local grocery store
0:56
or at, one of your.
0:58
- [Woman] I and Tom bought at Walmart.
0:59
- At Walmart, you can find it.
1:01
So we've got our yellow cake mix
1:03
and I've already cut it into cubes
1:05
for the tri-fold because you can imagine
1:07
what a trifle is, it's going to end up in this big,
1:09
beautiful crystal dish.
1:10
And it's going to be a layered cake
1:13
and well, let's just get started
1:15
and I'll show you what it's going to be.
1:16
So the cake is made.
1:18
Now the second step in the process is going to be,
1:21
we're going to go to our stove top here.
1:23
And we are going to a sauce pan here,
1:28
add two cups of raspberry preserves.
1:32
Now, if you're a canner,
1:34
you may already have some raspberry preserves
1:36
at your house that you made fresh,
1:38
or if you don't, you can get them in a jar.
1:41
We'll add to that two tablespoons of water.
1:44
- [Woman] And that is actually sugar-free. Shelly.
1:47
- I should mention as we go,
1:49
because it's very important.
1:50
It's sugar-free raspberry preserve.
1:52
- [Woman] We do actually, Bobby get a lot of requests
1:54
from folks out there that ask about
1:59
reduced calorie, reduced sugar,
2:03
diabetic friendly recipe. So this perfect.
2:07
- Hey, look, I've said this before,
2:09
but you know the people,
2:12
those of you out there who are diabetic,
2:15
I know it's kind of a bomber.
2:16
It feels like a bomber,
2:18
to have to eat the way you do.
2:21
I know that's the way that some people feel about it,
2:24
but honestly, that's the way that we all should be eating.
2:27
I got to tell you, sugar is just
2:34
sugar is tough man, it's not good for you.
2:37
And you shouldn't eat and drink a lot of it.
2:40
You should use moderation when it comes to that.
2:42
But if you can make things sugar-free
2:43
and they're still delicious, you should.
2:47
So that's what we're doing.
2:48
And I think that we're going to be no worse
2:51
to where at the end of this recipe.
2:52
I think I'll bet that you'll never even notice
2:54
that it's sugar free. How about that?
2:56
Because we are going to make with this heavy cream.
2:59
So there's two cups of heavy cream
3:00
to go along with us.
3:01
So the decadence is there.
3:04
You're going to get that delicious decadence satisfying
3:08
thing in your heavy cream
3:10
but the sugar will be way, way, way reduced.
3:13
And that's a good thing.
3:14
And turn this down just a little bit,
3:17
maybe to like a medium,
3:18
going to get a little bit of simmer going
3:21
into our preserves, we are going to add
3:25
some fresh raspberries.
3:28
Oh, Man. Raspberries are really one of my favorites,
3:32
my kids love them
3:36
and they just sit around and eat raspberries,
3:40
like they're not anymore growing.
3:44
So indoor raspberries to our preserved,
3:47
preserves, excuse me, into our sauce pan,
3:51
and that already looks and smells delicious,
3:55
and we've only just begun
3:58
and we've got a ways to go.
3:59
So why don't we take a break right here?
4:01
Let this cook for about two or three minutes
4:03
and I'll see you then, got two minutes.
4:06
(mixer whipping)
4:10
All right. Beautiful.
4:12
That's great. Looking whipped cream. Okay.
4:15
- [Woman] We went ahead and did the whipped cream
4:17
because it makes so much noise that
4:19
you can't hear Bobby over the mixer's.
4:22
- Nobody likes to watch people
4:24
mix whipped cream on camera.
4:28
Okay. So I'm just going to stick,
4:31
I'm going to put the bowl back
4:32
in the fridge here.
4:38
That'll be ready when we come to it. Okay.
4:40
Here is our raspberry and preserve mixture
4:45
on the stove top. It's beautiful.
4:47
It looks and smells delicious.
4:48
It's kind of like a raspberry potpourri.
4:51
- [woman] Yeah.
4:52
- Just got really low there.
4:56
We have to turn it off.
4:59
- [Woman] You need to let it cool a little bit.
5:00
- Yeah, I'm going to let it cool a little bit.
5:02
And then we are going
5:03
to grab our trifle dish.
5:07
So my mother's Christmas trifle.
5:10
We've got all the components together.
5:12
So our cake is baked
5:13
and I've already got it cut into little cubes.
5:15
We've got our raspberry puree
5:18
and a fresh raspberry mix already kind of sauteed off
5:21
and we're cooling it.
5:22
This is a great method to cool. Anything.
5:24
So we've got a bowl right inside of a bowl.
5:28
So that's just ice water in there.
5:30
Theresa and I, and the neighbor Tom said,
5:32
let's cool this stuff down real quick.
5:34
This is also a great way to,
5:35
what's a great way to cool down anything.
5:37
So let's go ahead and begin to put together our trifle.
5:40
I've got a beautiful, beautiful crystal dish here.
5:42
This is mom's. Gosh, this is gorgeous.
5:44
And I hope I do it justice,
5:46
because this is where you really need a Baker's touch,
5:52
- [Woman] I have faith in you.
5:53
- I have faith in myself too.
5:55
So we're going to put together
5:56
about a third of the trifle down in the bottom,
6:00
and it's just going to be layers of trifle
6:03
or excuse me of cake
6:06
and then the raspberry mix
6:08
and then a little whipped cream
6:09
and we'll continue on until we get to the top
6:11
and we'll end with whipped cream.
6:15
That'll be the last thing
6:17
and a little garnish on top
6:19
and I'll hold the garnish as a surprise,
6:21
I'll let you know what that is,
6:24
but you probably already know.
6:26
So one third of the cake, and again,
6:27
this is a sugar-free Cake Knicks,
6:31
which is it's wonderful to know that is out there.
6:34
Right.
6:35
- [Woman] Yeah.
6:36
- Okay. So.
6:37
- [Woman] And it looks exactly like cake.
6:39
- And it looks exactly like,
6:40
and I'm sure that it tastes great.
6:42
Should I give it a little bit of a,
6:44
let me tell you what sugar-free
6:45
- [Woman] Let's see your face when you
6:47
- Taste like.
6:53
- [Woman] Can you even tell a difference? I couldn't.
6:57
- It's very good. And it's very light is I like it.
7:00
I like it. I would probably prefer it.
7:03
Okay. And if the sweetness is there,
7:04
it just comes a little late and it's very light.
7:08
Okay. So our raspberry preserve mixture.
7:12
Let me try to get this even,
7:19
I don't know if my mom would be happy
7:21
with the job that I'm doing so far or not.
7:24
It's a little rustic and uneven here.
7:27
Everything is, but I'm a man.
7:31
- [Woman] You're more of a perfectionist than she is.
7:33
- Oh, well, that's true.
7:34
- [Woman] I was going to say she would just be dumpy.
7:37
- You think so, I just don't want to run out of my.
7:40
- [Woman] I would be doing exactly how you're doing.
7:42
- Raspberry mix here.
7:46
Just want to have some place to kind of platform my,
7:50
- [Woman] Which my cream,
7:51
- My cream, which is that's pretty already
7:53
just the dish is doing a lot of the work
7:57
just by being so dad gum pretty.
8:02
We can have pretty.
8:04
She, always say that's a she, what kind of she is.
8:09
And we'll go with a rubber's patch here.
8:17
Some of our whipped cream. I love it.
8:24
And do some spreading from side to side.
8:29
- [Woman] Now your trifle bowls, Bobby,
8:31
just so you know, some are deeper than others.
8:35
So in some you get three layers, some layers.
8:38
Sometimes you may only get two layers.
8:40
- Yeah,
8:40
- [Woman] That's fine too.
8:41
- Yep. That's a good point.
8:42
Yep. Very good point, Theresa.
8:44
Okay. I hope I'm not making a sloppy mess here.
8:47
I think it looks pretty. Okay.
8:54
Try to always think what would my mama do?
8:56
That's part of the pressure of having
8:57
Paula Deen as a mother, whenever you're making anything.
9:01
So like, well, what would my mama do?
9:02
I know that she would critique.
9:06
I know she would have something to say about this.
9:08
So make that look even, you messing it up.
9:11
That's too much. That's not enough.
9:13
- [Woman] She would not have said that.
9:14
- She would say exactly that.
9:16
- [Woman] That you've been part of yourself
9:17
- She would say exactly in that too.
9:21
So some more cake?
9:22
- [Woman] I think the beauties of trifles are they,
9:25
there's not a, they're just a layered look.
9:28
And you just want to have that,
9:30
that layer of so that you can see cake,
9:32
you see the raspberry, you see.
9:36
- Yeah. I think that that's true.
9:37
- [Woman] I really think you can mess up a trifle.
9:40
- Oh, well, you know, you could,
9:45
- [Woman] I disagree with you on that one
9:47
- I may be messing it up right now, unbeknownst.
9:51
- [Woman] Well, guess what your mom's coming home tonight.
9:53
- And she's going to see it.
9:54
- [Woman] So I'll have her taste it and I will let her.
9:56
- Oh, well I know it's going to taste good,
9:58
but what's it gonna look like? You know?
10:00
Cause like my mama always says,
10:01
you eat with in your eyes first son,
10:03
you eat with your eyes first.
10:07
Just make sure I got plenty of cake in there
10:10
and I got some small pieces.
10:12
So I'll kind of do some wedge
10:14
and some of that down in there. That looks good.
10:19
Okay. And now back to our preserves.
10:31
- [Woman] Yeah. This has a wider trifle bowl
10:33
versus kind of a slimmer and taller.
10:36
- I'm wishing I had some more preserves
10:37
to be completely honest.
10:43
That looks nice. And it smells so good.
10:48
And it just looks like Christmas, doesn't it?
10:50
Doesn't this thing just say Christmas,
10:58
we're going to come up a little shine that's alright
11:02
We'll make it work.
11:05
Look at this little beautiful device
11:07
that my mom has got here, this thing is handy dandy.
11:15
That's worked hard in its lifetime. How does it look?
11:18
- [Woman] I want to say.
11:19
- I think it looks really pretty.
11:22
That's something that was handed down
11:24
by your grandmother Paul or your, mom or somebody.
11:27
- 1000 years old
11:29
- [Woman] She worries about it falling apart.
11:31
- Yeah. Well it's beginning to,
11:33
- [Woman] I think you need to put more whipped cream.
11:35
- I'm going to okay. Well you can stand in for my mama.
11:38
- [Woman] Just checking
11:40
- If you need to put more whipped cream.
11:41
So, oh. And you know what,
11:43
when I was doing the preserves
11:44
and the fresh raspberry mix
11:49
on the stove top over there,
11:51
I took a look back my mom's recipe.
11:53
And it said now, and top of your trifle with the rest,
11:58
with the second point of strawberries I was like
12:02
or raspberries I was like.
12:03
Ooh I put them all in.
12:06
- [Woman] But what did we do?
12:07
- I had rescue them. I rescued some out of the pot
12:11
out of the sauce pan
12:14
I think this looks great.
12:16
- [Woman] I think it looks fabulous.
12:17
You can see all the layers.
12:19
- Can you?
12:21
- [Woman] Keep turning it? Yeah, so pretty.
12:26
And the more it sits, the more it'll settle.
12:36
- One more cake.
12:44
Hmm Hmm. Look at this.
12:49
So, so good looking.
12:55
And it makes your house smell so great cakes
13:00
in the preserves.
13:02
I think I already said that it was like a potpourri
13:04
those raspberry preserve like potpourri
13:06
on the stove top and that really were,
13:11
hold off those last two pieces of cake there.
13:14
- [Woman] You're going to get this patch around here.
13:15
- Yeah I'm going to do that
13:17
- [Woman] I'm gonna let you get this patch.
13:19
I'm going to put this on hold.
13:21
- Okay. Let's take a quick break
13:23
and y'all can come back to help me top it off. Alright.
13:26
Okay. This looks really, really nice.
13:30
And so the layers go cake,
13:33
raspberries, whipped cream, cake,
13:37
raspberries, whipped cream,
13:39
repeat and finish with the whipped cream.
13:43
Ooh, look at that.
13:46
That is a lot of whipped cream
13:49
and it looks so good.
13:53
- [Woman] (indistinct)
13:54
- Hmm, yeah, that's right.
13:55
So the sugar that we're losing
13:57
is going to be made up for by the whipped cream.
14:01
And it's a good thing that we had a low humidity day
14:04
down here in Savannah, Georgia.
14:06
- [Woman] I see, your mom would be proud
14:08
because you're scraping that bowl right down to the end.
14:10
- Every bit of it. Hey look,
14:12
when you spend a bunch of years
14:14
in the restaurant business,
14:14
you do not waste boy.
14:17
- [Woman] Let's do that again.
14:18
Tell him what she says to you.
14:19
- I said, when you spend a bunch of years
14:21
in the restaurant business, you do not waste boy.
14:25
- [Woman] Now that's Paula Deen.
14:26
- That is Paula Deen.
14:28
Wow. Look at that.
14:29
I think that looks great.
14:32
I mean, it looks homemade that's for sure.
14:35
- [Woman] Oh my gosh! I can't wait to see
14:37
what the saved raspberries.
14:39
- Yeah.
14:43
So we'll go on finish with raspberries
14:44
right on the top here.
14:48
And it's a good thing.
14:49
I did that because there's
14:50
some of those preserves attached to them too.
14:52
And you can see the preserves.
14:53
- [Woman] I like the jam part on it. So see.
14:55
- Them sort of spread out into that whipped cream.
15:05
And I'm not going to waste one bit of it.
15:07
I'm going to make sure it all gets used. Look how pretty
15:12
These colors, these just scream Christmas, holidays.
15:18
- [Woman] It's so nice to give an option to people.
15:21
that's not, because not everybody walks in
15:24
and says they really want
15:25
something low calorie,
15:26
but it's kind of nice to be able to say,
15:28
Hey, if your sugar,
15:30
if you want something sugar for you we've got it.
15:31
- Or, what's even more fun than that
15:33
is to just surprise people
15:34
and let them know afterwards.
15:36
- [Woman] True
15:37
- After you've served it.
15:38
Did you like that? I really did.
15:40
Well guess what?
15:41
That's a sugar-free cake mix.
15:44
It's low sugar, reduced sugar preserves.
15:47
- [Woman] And we saved you some calories
15:49
- And we saved you some calories,
15:51
the whipped cream, the whipped cream is not low-calorie.
15:55
Okay. So I think it looks really nice.
15:58
And the only thing missing
15:59
is a little garnish for the top.
16:01
And what we like is fresh mint.
16:06
A lot of us have mint in our gardens down
16:08
here in the south.
16:09
I grow mint at my house. It grows very easily.
16:11
- [Woman] And everywhere.
16:13
- It's everywhere.
16:14
- [Woman] It will take over.
16:16
- And it looks great right on top.
16:19
So I don't know about you, but I'd eat it.
16:26
- [Woman] Me too. Bobby.
16:30
- That looks great. Merry Christmas, everybody.
16:32
See you next time.
