hey y'all hey friends welcome to my
0:02
kitchen today I'm telling you what this
0:06
is one of those retro recipes made this
0:12
everyday young every day of my life from
0:18
1989 having 1993 a poll I mean every day
0:29
because this was such a popular dish on
0:32
the bag lady I would do a beautiful
0:38
fruit salad with I sometimes we can't
0:43
champagne grape before in season those
0:47
little tiny grapes I put a cluster that
0:49
and of course a piece of star fruit
0:51
beautiful strawberries and cantaloupe
0:56
and I couldn't make enough to send out
1:01
on our rounds in fact people would call
1:03
in and say call me a fruit salad and it
1:08
wasn't it the fruit was that great of
1:11
course during the summer it really was
1:12
wonderful but it was the French cream
1:17
that they got on the side that made it
1:21
so good so I'm gonna share this recipe
1:25
with y'all I also make a French custard
1:28
which a custard to me means cooked you
1:35
know make one that you could but this is
1:37
one that you just mix up and no cooking
1:42
involved and it is wonderful
1:45
I love to do fruit trays and cut my
1:50
pineapple in half leaving the top on it
1:53
too and scoop it out and fill it full of
1:56
the French cream and it's just not only
1:59
beautiful but delicious
2:02
all right so I'm gonna start y'all by
2:06
I'm not gonna start doing I think I'm
2:16
whipping up my whipping cream and now
2:19
this is the heavy cream y'all don't use
2:23
half and half because half-and-half
2:26
won't won't mix you got to have heavy
2:30
cream 2 1 cup of heavy cream I use 1/4
2:38
of a cup of sugar to it and to me that
2:42
makes it nice and sweet so we're just
2:45
gonna beat this until it forms soft
2:49
peaks okay we're back y'all and our
2:53
whipping cream has been whipped until it
2:57
forms soft peaks and Eddie just told me
3:01
he said you might want to say fresh
3:04
cream he and he said it sounded like I
3:08
said fresh cream and I was saying French
3:12
cream so I don't know what party is
3:15
talking about where I was using that
3:17
but it's French cream yeah I'm not fresh
3:21
cream only this is kind of fresh cream
3:24
but so anyway we've got our our whipped
3:29
cream and now we're gonna mix together a
3:34
softened cream cheese and I'm just gonna
3:41
actually I'm gonna mix this in a little
3:46
bit bigger bowl because we've got some
3:51
powdered sugar we got to add to that
4:02
all right so I'm just gonna this is nice
4:04
and soft and now we're gonna add our
4:10
powdered sugar and just whip those two
4:20
ingredients together until they're kind
4:24
of creamy oh man I live is this so good
4:38
there's a lotta Lotta
4:42
creams out there for your fruit trays
4:51
all right so now I'm gonna add the juice
4:55
of one lemon and we're gonna add some
5:00
lemon zest and I don't know if you have
5:03
one of these zester's but I couldn't do
5:07
it I couldn't this addition is that's
5:12
I know I know Teresa has already zested
5:15
me some but I just wanted to show y'all
5:19
what you need just when you have to zest
5:23
an orange or a lemon you gotta have one
5:32
so I'm gonna beat that a little bit
5:34
incorporate that now now we're gonna add
5:47
these two together we're gonna fold that
5:51
in to our whipped cream
5:58
oh my goodness I could stay on a fruit
6:02
diet with this young alright so we just
6:06
done a foul foul foul
6:23
now I'm gonna add our lemon zest and I
6:27
don't add my cysts while I'm squeezing
6:30
my hand mixer because it seems like the
6:34
zest just all winds up kind of wanted
6:37
around your beaters and you lose a lot
6:41
so I just stir my zest in at the last
6:45
minute and I did test a little bit over
6:50
here so we'll get that out too and the
6:57
last thing we're going to add if you
7:00
don't line in the restaurant says
7:02
pineapple juice pineapple juice is great
7:07
but you know what if you've got orange
7:10
juice around and open that will work
7:12
well too and so I'm just gonna get this
7:17
to the consistency that I want by adding
7:21
some sort of juice I wouldn't recommend
7:30
we gel Ranger pineapple is really great
7:35
all right so it just depends on how thin
7:40
or how thick you want this and I think
7:45
that that was what maybe a tablespoon of
7:49
orange juice young and to me this is a
7:53
nice consistency and if you don't have a
8:01
lemon you could use orange zest mmm look
8:16
get flavoring bit off this beater and it
8:49
you know what in that Adi on there I
8:53
bought these at a yard sale or somewhere
8:57
and I gave it to bobbing cloud
9:00
I said look it's gonna do it and um I
9:06
think I'm luck later I got him back they
9:10
said mama we don't use things like that
9:13
so here you go I got it back so you know
9:17
when you're giving you chillin gifts you
9:19
need to give them something and that
9:20
you'd like to have because there's a
9:23
good chance it's gonna come back home to
9:33
don't what a story I'm gonna be sitting
9:35
there with the whole bowl this is
9:38
and look I do more cream than fruit
9:49
I do hope y'all enjoy I think I like the
9:54
zest of two lemons and more lemonade
10:01
so pick you up some fresh fruit young
10:05
because it's starting to come in pretty
10:07
good now especially if you live down
10:09
south and make you up some of this
10:16
people don't do that genius
