- Hi, I'm Rie, I'm a Tasty producer.
Today, I've been challenged to take
a common food and make it fancy.
The rules are you must use the food given.
You can only add to the food.
You can buy whatever ingredients you wish.
Once you begin cooking,
you must complete upgraded dish in 30 minutes.
Lets see what it is this time.
Marshmallows.
I have had a marshmallow before.
This is very unusual for this show.
Yeah, it's marshmallows.
It's a little too sweet for me.
It's very firm.
I love touching marshmallow.
I wish it was my pillow.
I wish I'll be make it big for me.
(laughing)
Texture is kind of boring.
You don't wanna eat it as it is,
sometimes like you make s'mores,
sometimes you put it in hot chocolate.
Can I make something
to express my feeling about marshmallow?
Marshmallows are blank canvas.
All right I'm super excited.
I've got some great ideas.
I cannot wait to
make it fancy.
Here is what I got.
Chocolate, 100% cacao,
fresh raspberries,
heavy cream,
cacao nibs,
vanilla ice cream.
From the pantry I got edible glitter
and rum.
I also have two secret weapons for this time.
This is my girl,
little spoon princess.
And edible gold from my private collection.
All right, let's get started.
Make it fancy.
All right let's start the clock.
30 minutes starts
now.
I'm going to use same amount
of marshmallows and same amount
of heavy cream.
So I'm using 100 milliliter.
I'm going to put in a pot.
And melt the...
Marshmallow is very sweet
so it has a lot of sugar in it.
If you heat it up too hot
it's gonna burn on the bottom.
Meanwhile, I'm going to chop chocolate.
100% cacao, so it's not sweet at all.
If you just wanna eat it,
yeah you don't wanna eat it by itself (laughing).
So since marshmallow is super, super sweet,
I didn't wanna add any sugar.
Even bitter sweet chocolate,
I feel like it's gonna be a little bit too sweet.
Well I'm just chopping very finely
so it will melt quickly.
So I put 115 grams chocolate.
Just wanna taste.
That's a bad idea.
I knew it, but I just couldn't help.
Okay, lets check the timer.
I have almost like 27 minutes left.
Marshmallow is melting.
I'm gonna just melt completely.
- [Producer] Rie, you know who loves marshmallows?
- Who?
- [Producer] Alligators.
- Alligators?
- [Producer] You know who's coming to taste test later?
- Alligator?
- [Producer] We got an alligator.
- It's like 90% melted.
The texture is almost like evaporated milk.
It's a little bit thicker than heavy cream,
it's a little bit looser than condensed milk.
Just make sure everything is melted,
no white bits from marshmallow.
And I'm going to add the chocolate in a bigger bowl.
So I'm going to just pour over the chocolate.
I have about 24 minutes left.
I'm going to mix with whisk.
You just wanted to make sure everything
is well incorporated.
texture wise, kind of looks like mayonnaise,
kind of thick, like that.
Yeah, it's much better.
I have ice bath,
and I'm going to whip some cream.
So I'm not sure how much heavy cream I have to whip,
so I'm gonna just start with one cup.
I'm using ice bath because when heavy cream is colder
it whips faster.
So I want to use whisk instead of hand mixer
because I can control the texture I want.
Oh, I forgot something.
Rum.
- [Producer] Hey.
- Hey.
I'm gonna start with half tablespoon.
Wow, that's heavy.
Half tablespoon of rum.
So far I feel like I'm using booze for my cooking.
- [Producer] I think that's pretty established.
- (laughing)
I'm just like whisking
and kind of switching my wrist 'cause it's hard work.
When my wrist gets tired
I kind of like change the direction I'm going.
There's no right or wrong way, just whip.
All my arm muscle are coming from whisking whip cream.
So it's almost ready.
I want to do a soft peak.
So now I'm going to combine these two.
Nice and airy.
I'm gonna add a little bit.
Ooh nice.
I like the color.
So lets get everything.
Nice.
I think it need a little bit more rum.
You don't need to add rum at all if you don't like alcohol,
if you're under age.
But I'm adult,
I do what I want.
It's so good.
So I'm going to transfer this to piping bag.
I'm using a star tip.
You don't need to use it,
I just using it to make it fancy.
Lets check the timer.
12:30.
So I'm going to rest this in the refrigerator.
Be right back.
For my next step I'm going use more marshmallows
and make something totally different.
I'm gonna just use four of them.
So I'm going to put this in the microwave
for just 15 seconds,
and I'll be right back.
I microwave marshmallows
and it's soft and nice.
I'm going to put in a baking sheet.
Oh it's very sticky.
- [Producer] It's sticky huh?
- Yeah.
I'm spreading it so I don't need to cook too long.
Basically I'm making this marshmallow
into crispy cookies.
So I'm going to bake this in oven.
My marshmallow cookie is baking in the oven,
and I'm going to pipe this mixture into champaign glasses
'cause champaign glass is fun.
So I'm using star tip,
and it kind of makes beautiful like rose kind of shape.
And I want to fill all the way up to the rim.
See it's very pretty so I don't wanna mess with it.
I like using cacao nibs 'cause it's bitter.
So if you're making something super sweet
it will balance out the flavor.
And also it has a nice crunch.
Cookies should be done so I'm gonna grab it.
All right, it's nice and brown, it's crispy.
I just wanna give a little glitter for cute presentation.
Let's check the timer.
About four minutes left.
So I got ice cream and hot water.
I like using this spoon 'cause it's nice
curve and pointy tip.
When you go to a fancy restaurant
there is football shape ice cream.
This kind of spoon works the best.
Ice cream is super cold
and it's hot water so it melts.
It's been a while so don't judge me.
You just need practice.
It's not the easiest thing you can do
from the first time.
Let's check the timer.
And I have two minutes left.
Final stretch.
Gonna just top with raspberry.
My other secret weapon, edible gold.
You don't wanna use a lot.
The cookie.
It's nice and crisp.
Can you hear that cracking sound?
I'm gonna just place it like that.
And we're done.
(soft music)
so good.
It's maybe the fanciest I've made.
All right, Hannah, welcome to fancy land.
- It's beautiful.
I wanna live here.
- Yeah.
We have all kinds of different hard liquor.
- That's all you need.
You need hard liquor and some desert.
- All right, do you wanna try it?
- Yes.
I feel like if I was at a fancy tea
this would be the grand finale.
It's so beautiful.
- Did you hear that?
- I mean there's gold on it.
(laughing)
oh my God.
I'm gonna dip you.
- Yeah.
- I would never in my life guess
that this was made out of marshmallow.
- Yes.
Did I make fancy?
- This is the fanciest thing I've ever received.
- Yes.
- Make it fancy.
- Ryan.
Welcome to my marshmallow wonder land.
- Marshmallow wonder land.
- I made chocolate mousse and cookie from marshmallow.
- Wow.
And the raspberry?
- Raspberry not marshmallow.
- All right.
Wow, a big old,
one clump of gold flakes right there.
- I know.
This is my private collection.
- You have a private collection
of gold flakes?
- Yes.
- I also have a collection of flakes.
- What kind of flakes?
- Eh.
Has anybody done this?
- Actually Hannah did,
but you can do it.
- Nah, nah, I like to be original.
It's quite good.
- Thank you.
- Should we do this dance?
- Of course.
- Okay.
This one?
- Yeah.
- This way first.
- Yes.
Three, two, one.
