- Hi, I'm Rie.
I'm a Tasty producer.
Today, I've been challenged to take a common food
and make it fancy.
Let's see what we are making fancy today.
Froot Loops.
As you can guess, I've never tried this before.
Growing up, I ate a lot of Cocoa Puffs.
I am hoping it tastes like fruit.
I hope different color has a different flavor.
Look like a pile of poison.
Doesn't taste like fruit.
It's all same flavor.
I like the crunch.
Internet likes colorful dessert.
It can be really pretty.
It's not too bad.
But maybe if you are eating bunch,
it might be a little bit too sweet.
So color is actually cute and very festive,
so I think we can make some fun dessert.
I'm excited to make it fancy.
All right, here is what I got.
Butter, heavy cream, eggs, and milk.
From the pantry, I got cornstarch, salt, vanilla extract,
sugar, flour, white chocolate, food coloring, and brandy.
Okay, let's get started.
Make it fancy.
(elegant music)
First step, I'm going to use Froot Loops,
and I just realized Froot is spell like F-R-O-O-T,
not like fruit fruit.
It's just like a meme, if you know what I'm talking about.
Four cups of Froot Loops.
Three cup of milk.
- [Producer] That's a big breakfast.
(Rie laughs)
- I also don't know what is the appropriate amount
of cereal you have to eat for breakfast.
Sometimes, like just bowl of cereal
doesn't look like enough.
So I'm heating up medium-high heat,
kinda extract more flavor from Froot Loops.
As soon as little bubbles coming from the milk,
that's ready.
Just don't boil the milk.
- [Producer] Rie, do you recognize the bird on the box?
- No.
Is he famous?
- [Producer] He's famous.
So, his full name is Toucan Sam.
- I used to have that bird that talks,
like parakeet, like little one.
He came to my grandma's yard and she kept it,
and I think it was bird from some sort of station.
It said like, "Next stop is such and such."
I know the little bird that talks.
They are smart.
Milk with simmered, I'm going to pour over.
And gently push so there's no dry spot.
Just steep this about one hour,
and we are moving onto next step.
Two cups of Froot Loops.
So you kinda wanna make it like a pebble.
Like this size.
So I'm going to just use big piece for later.
Sugar part it's going to go through the mesh sieve.
If you don't have a food processor,
you can just put in bag
and crush them with rolling pin or something.
(mumbles)
It's kind of pretty.
It's like fairy dust.
And moving on to the next step.
Okay so we be steeping Froot Loops for one hour,
and we are going to strain.
It's kind of jiggly.
Sounds like you are stepping into the puddle.
(Froot Loops squelching)
Half cup of cereal milk.
Half cup of water.
And we gonna save this later.
I'm going to use one stick of butter
and cut it small sizes so it melts faster.
And two teaspoons of sugar.
Melt all the ingredients.
The color it's not as good as I was hoping for,
but I think we have some idea to fix.
Everything is melted,
so I'm adding one cup of flour, medium heat.
Dough it's kind of shiny,
and it's kind of fall into one big blob.
Take off the heat,
and you want to wait this dough cool to touch,
about five minutes.
So dough is cool down.
Add egg, one by one.
I think we will need four eggs,
but its depends on the consistency.
Mix it.
You have to make sure all the egg is absorbed.
The second.
If you have a stand mixer,
you can use stand mixer with paddle attachment.
It's expensive machine,
so I just wanna show you how to do it by hand.
The dough has to be a little bit runny,
and gonna go for four eggs.
I think we might need one more.
I'm cracking fifth egg,
but I think I'm gonna use just the half first.
Eggs come in different shape,
so consistency it's the indicator, not the amount of egg.
Let's test that.
You kinda bring out the dough.
Think it still need just a little bit.
Phew!
It's a good workout.
Yeah, like that, that's a good texture.
Quarter cup of crushed Froot Loops.
Pretty, look!
It's became gray to rainbow.
Put this in a piping bag
and put the piping tip and twist.
And insert, and bend
so when you put the dough it doesn't overflow.
It's alive!
I'm going to pipe this dough onto the baking sheet.
I sprayed oil underneath of the parchement paper
so it stick to the pan.
Brush water into the paper,
so it helps pâte à choux to puffs up without drying out.
Make sure each dough has
enough room because it's gonna rise.
So when you're squeezing,
you don't want to squeeze from here,
you kinda want to squeeze your dominant hand on the top,
and also you don't need to do swirl,
you just have to steady pipe.
We made a pâte à choux at the culinary school,
also this was maybe my first pastry I made with my mom.
I love making pâte à choux, I like the transformation.
I sometimes even wait in front of the oven
so I can see when its puffs up.
And this is ready.
- [Producer] Rie, you're fast.
- Oh, I have seen faster.
Whoever doing this as a professional level,
they are so fast.
Cool, cute!
So you don't want this point,
so you wet your finger with water,
and kinda make it flat.
And this moisture also helps this puffs up.
Oh, I like this, it's cute.
Anything round is cute.
So, I was a little bit worried because
when we steep Froot Loops, it was gray.
But now because of the egg,
and because of the crushed Froot Loop,
its looks very festive and cute.
It looks almost like a funfetti cake.
So this is the egg wash leftover,
I think we don't have enough,
so I'm gonna add a little bit water.
It kinda gives a shine when we finish baking.
So we are going to bake this
at 400 Fahrenheit for 20 minutes,
and then lower the heat to 350 Fahrenheit.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
When you are baking, don't open the door.
If you open the door, it won't rise.
So I have reserved Froot Loop infused milk.
Heat it up.
Two egg yolks.
Two tablespoon of sugar.
I'm gonna mix it until pale.
They say it's a little bit crucial part
when you're making custard,
you have to make sure the sugar is absorbed into egg yolk.
Two tablespoon of cornstarch.
And one teaspoon of vanilla.
So milk, its start bubbling.
Add just a little bit so you're kind of tempering.
Put gentle stream.
Bring this back to pot.
Turn on the heat, and cook this until it is thickens.
You want to consistently mix with rubber spatula,
because it will burn if you don't do that,
or it's become like curdled.
Pastry cream it's done.
Transfer to a bowl.
Not the prettiest color, but we gonna fix it.
You want to make sure the plastic,
it's touching to the custard, so it doesn't form a skin.
Chill this until completely cool, about 30 minutes.
And, it's not pretty.
Let's make it pretty.
One tablespoon of brandy.
Just mix it.
And separate this into three.
I usually avoid using food color,
but this color is a little bit off-putting.
I like the kind of color for Froot Loops,
so I'm adding a little bit of food color.
We have pink, we have blue, and we have purple.
- [Producer] Rie, what's your favorite color?
- You know, it's a difficult to pick your favorite color.
Whenever people ask me that question,
I don't have the answer.
But I tend to choose (mumbles) color for my clothing,
and red for accessories.
Set this aside.
I'm gonna whip some cream.
Gonna start with one and half cup.
I know there's a one person on Instagram,
he made at least three or four thing from Make It Fancy.
We should give him a prize.
Perfect consistency.
So cream is whipped, it's a stiff peak.
Add to custard mix.
It's just one big scoop, it's like eyeball.
Okay, the fillings are ready,
and I'm going to use this piping bag.
Using the special kind of tool if you don't have it,
you can just make one color.
I want to make like unicorn effect,
so I got special tool that makes three color cream.
One done.
And two done.
Three done.
Put them together.
So I'm gonna set this aside and move on to the next step.
All right, look how cute it is.
Perfectly puffed up.
I'm going to cut top part,
you can see the Froot Loops inside.
Pipe your unicorn in.
Oh!
I'm very happy.
If it's not hollow enough,
you can just push the inside part.
Look how pretty they are!
I don't know, I don't like eating colorful food,
but I like making colorful food.
Dip white chocolate, it's melted.
Put like a hat and put Froot Loop.
I'm topping with Froot Loops
because it kind of gives nice poppy color
and adding more flavor and more texture.
So cute!
I'm very happy!
It's the cutest thing I've ever made on this show.
Gonna put on the plate.
This looks great, and we are done.
(relaxing music)
They are unicorn Froot Loop cream puffs.

Can you tell the difference
between Fruity Pebbles and the Froot Loops?
- Well, that's why I asked to smell it.
- Oh, it different?
- Yeah, I can smell the difference.
Fruity Pebbles smells a little more like juicy
- Uh huh
- And then Froot Loops smell a little tangier.
- But you have a good smell.
- Yeah, people think I'm a dog.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.
My hunch is that you've made cereal cream puffs.
- Yes.
- With a (snifflng) a whipped filling
and a doughnut icing top.
Of some sort.
- Yeah.
- Ooh.
Mmm.
This is delightful, very fancy, I love it.
- Thank you!
- Some rainbow foods are so saturated,
to the point where they taste chemically sweet.
- Yeah.
- This is light, fluffy, nice crunch with the cereal.
It's heavenly.
Froot Loop everything, but not too overpowering.
- Yes!
