0:00
- All right, this Valen-date...
0:06
I swear sometimes I can't talk, y'all.
0:09
This Valentine meal is moving on to the dessert.
0:14
And you know, men and women, we both love chocolate.
0:20
I don't think it makes a hill of beans
0:25
whether you're a man or a woman, chocolate is good.
0:28
And it's a quick, easy dessert
0:31
that won't get you all in a flutter
0:34
because we're gonna use little graham cracker pie shells,
0:42
These are not bad at all, especially when you don't have
0:46
to grind it up and sweeten it and all that.
0:49
So I've got one and a half cups.
0:54
The recipe calls for bittersweet,
0:57
but you know, I'm just not crazy about bittersweet.
1:00
I like more of a semi-sweet
1:03
or even just a regular chocolate.
1:10
So we're gonna put that in there.
1:16
And we're gonna put, I think it's, like, two tablespoons.
1:22
Yeah, two tablespoons of a seedless raspberry jam.
1:29
Okay, and this is actually from a magazine.
1:36
And, you know, I can always count on the magazine
1:43
coming up with some good desserts
1:46
that are not real challenging.
1:48
So I've got my chocolates.
1:49
I've got my jam, and I'm gonna chop all this up together.
1:55
So here goes a loud noise.
1:57
Yeah, I'm real good at changing recipes, y'all, so,
2:01
So I just think it needs like one more tablespoon
2:09
Just needs some more juice
2:12
to get through those chocolate.
2:14
Grind that chocolate up.
2:18
Now while I am beating this, I'm gonna heat up
2:27
one cup of heavy cream.
2:29
And I don't want this to boil,
2:32
but when it starts getting kind of bubbly around the edges,
2:36
that will be perfect.
2:40
Will this hold? (laughs)
2:44
- [Theresa] You know.
2:47
- Yes, it will, Theresa. (laughs)
2:51
But if I let this thing come to a boil.
2:55
- [Theresa] We'd be outta luck.
2:55
- It'd be everywhere. It would be everywhere.
2:59
Alright, so here we go.
3:01
Now you don't have to worry about this getting creamy
3:03
because we're heating our heavy cream,
3:07
and we're gonna pour it over
3:09
our chocolate chips and raspberries,
3:11
so, you know, it's not gonna get like smooth.
3:17
Cream is nice and warm. It's not boiling.
3:20
So I'm gonna pour that over our chocolate-jam mixture.
3:28
And I'm gonna let this sit for about three minutes, y'all,
3:32
because I don't want to turn on that blender with hot milk,
3:36
hot heavy cream because it could go poof.
3:44
Okay, I'm gonna add one teaspoon.
3:48
Oh, this is not the paste.
3:51
- [Theresa] It says one teaspoon of paste
3:55
Okay, 'cause I was gonna say, we've got paste over there.
4:00
I said that's coming out way too easy to be paste.
4:04
Alright, so I'm saying it's been three minutes.
4:09
Okay, the heavy cream is making it thicken now,
4:17
so I don't wanna get it too, too thick.
4:20
So I'm gonna go ahead and fill my cups, my little pie crust,
4:24
and then I'm gonna put it in the refrigerator
4:26
until it's the right consistency.
4:32
Probably two or three hours.
4:36
So I'm just gonna stir that up real good. And here we go.
4:43
Now this should make six tarts.
4:50
So I wanna be careful that I don't overfill. Yum, yum.
4:55
So in the refrigerator this goes for two to three hours.
5:00
And then at the last minute, when you get ready
5:02
to serve 'em, you can put your whipped cream, your mint,
5:06
and your raspberries, fresh raspberries, not jam.
5:09
Doesn't that look good?
5:10
- [Theresa] Sure does. - Yay.
5:12
These look so good, y'all.
5:16
But I'm not exactly crazy
5:21
about leaving them in these tinfoil cups.
5:26
To me, it's just more appetizing.
5:35
So I'm just taking my scissors and nipping that
5:43
and slipping it right out.
5:44
And I see that's so much prettier
5:47
than the tin foil, right, Ed?
5:51
'Cause I know you appreciate presentation.
6:00
Because like I've always said, you eat it first
6:04
with your eyes and then with your mouth.
6:08
- [Eddie] I personally would not object to just eating
6:12
that right in that tin either. (chuckles)
6:16
- Well, you would be somebody that I would love to have
6:19
that would not judge and enjoy it just like it is.
6:25
That would be wonderful.
6:28
And I think maybe three raspberries.
6:30
I like things in multiple numbers.
6:36
Our mint doesn't look
6:39
like a nice summertime mint, but it's all right.
6:48
What do you think, Eddie?
6:49
- [Eddie] Looks good.
6:51
- That makes a pretty presentation, doesn't it?
6:54
With a little extra chocolate.
7:00
I'm swallowing my tongue.
7:03
And you know what else I could have sprinkled?
7:05
I wish I thought about it
7:06
because I have graham cracker crumbs that I could have put
7:13
in the bottom of that plate
7:17
and then topped it with a little whipped cream.
7:19
That would've been nice.
7:21
But, you know, I just am sharing with you a couple of things
7:28
to give you to think about.
7:34
Mm. It's so good, Eddie.
7:40
And I'm so happy I'm not having to dig it out
7:42
of a tin foil container.
7:49
Mm, this is not gonna be a princess pie.
7:59
It's a perfect, perfect stress-free dessert
8:05
to serve to your valentine.
8:17
And the graham cracker crust, y'all, is so crisp and fresh.
8:24
I don't think anybody will turn down their nose
8:27
at this one, and it didn't kill you.
8:36
Happy Valentine's Day. Love and kisses.
