- Have y'all made plans yet for Valentine's Day?
0:07
I'm not much of a drinker, y'all,
0:14
What is that called, a white Russian?
0:16
With vodka and amaretto and-
0:19
- [Speaker] Well, that's Kahlua.
0:22
- But that's not- - See how much I know.
0:24
But what I do know is I could use this for perfume.
0:28
- [Speaker] What, (indistinct) it smells so good?
0:36
I asked y'all a question
0:37
and then I didn't give you time to answer.
0:39
Got any hot plans for Valentine's Day?
0:43
- Oh, I should- - This is so good,
0:54
Or Valentine is going to be done, come and gone.
0:58
All right. I've got about two thirds, I think,
1:01
of heavy whipping cream
1:06
I'm going to sweeten it with confectioners sugar.
1:19
Just adding a little bit at a time.
1:24
And we want to beat this until it forms soft peaks.
1:33
We got it to soft peaks.
1:36
All right, so what we're going to do next is,
1:42
we've got little miniature chocolate chips.
1:50
Oh, but let me start by saying this,
1:53
we sliced one pound of fresh strawberries,
1:57
and let's see, how much amaretto did we put on them?
2:00
About a fourth of a cup,
2:01
maybe- - Three tablespoons
2:02
but I don't- - Three tablespoons
2:08
So, and these need to sit, at least for three hours but,
2:12
I think we let these sit just overnight,
2:14
'cause it's just fine, so,
2:17
those are drenched in
2:23
So now we're going to add
2:31
(glass clanging) to our whipped cream.
2:35
We're going to kind of just gently fold that in.
2:40
Just fold, fold, fold.
2:45
And I'm going to go ahead and
2:51
Oh, so anyway, so we have left those marinade,
2:58
Italian cookie that we're going to use
3:00
and you can find these in the international aisle
3:04
at your grocery store.
3:06
And they are so good.
3:11
Really crispy and just good.
3:14
So we have crumbled them up
3:22
alternate this in our glass.
3:27
I have some of the cutest
3:31
Valentine's Day glasses
3:36
that I'm going to fill with-
3:46
This is looking good.
3:49
And you see how simple,
3:50
I mean, you can really
3:52
put this together at the last minute,
3:54
as long as you have your strawberries marinated.
3:56
So now I'm going to fold in
4:00
chopped pistachios. (glass clanging)
4:04
Now, it calls for unsalted, I think,
4:06
but I really like the salted because
4:09
I'm a sweet and salty eater.
4:12
Got this all folded together and it looks
4:16
really good y'all, I couldn't remember
4:20
if I was adding my chocolate chips in with them.
4:23
I guess if you wanted to, you could but,
4:25
I'm going to just sprinkle the tops with them.
4:29
All right, so I'm going to come over here
4:33
and I'm going to put (glass scraping)
4:37
and we're going to be alternating this.
4:42
of the Italian crumble cookies
4:50
I'm going to put a layer of strawberries.
4:57
Look how pretty this going to look in that cup.
5:00
Now I've also got some-
5:05
Some parfait glasses that we could use too, as well.
5:10
All right, let's see.
5:11
I have used all my spoons, haven't I?
5:28
I'm trying to keep it off the edges
5:32
Got a small little opening.
5:36
(cookie crumbles sprinkling)
5:38
all right, so another layer
5:43
(glass clanging) of crackers,
5:50
of strawberries (glass clanging)
6:01
And now, if you like,
6:03
you can just sprinkle
6:07
Excuse me, just one second, I got to wash my hands.
6:13
add the chocolate chips
6:17
or you can mix them in, whatever your heart desires.
6:29
It just takes minutes, y'all.
6:33
I love this, 'cause this is something I don't have to wait.
6:36
- Mm-mm. - I can just eat it now.
6:40
(glass clanging) Mm mm mm.
6:41
(glass lighting scraping)
6:48
So you can really put this together any way you want to.
6:57
And the beauty of these is,
7:00
you can go ahead and load your glasses and have them ready.
7:08
(glass scraping) The flavor of the amaretto
7:14
ricotta and the whipped cream is so good y'all.
7:17
This is really, really good.
7:23
And it'll make you look like you worked for a long time
7:25
and you really haven't.
7:31
Happy Valentine's Day.
7:36
Sending you love and best dishes.
