- Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. (Rie laughing)
Yes, yes! - Okay.
- You're almost there, yes!
Yay! - Yay!
Hi guys, it's Rie.
Today, I'm going to recreate a recipe
from the game called the Cooking Mama.
I did this one time and it was a lot of fun,
so I want to do again.
Last time when we did this,
we came across this YouTube channel called GameTim
and he recreate a lot of Cooking Mama recipes.
Go check him out, he makes a lot of fun videos.
I don't play a lot of video games,
but our producer Katie does,
so she picked the recipe for me.
- Hello!
- Hi.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
- Okay, it's called the Flower Bavarois.
It's French, I don't know,
just put it there and I'm sorry,
just in the comments, tell me how to pronounce it.
So, you just hit the "make" button and then you go for it.
- All right. - I'm gonna leave,
but if you need any help, just you holler,
I'll be over there. - Okay.
(upbeat music)
So, okay, make.
Okay, mix it with the blender.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- [Katie] Oh no! - Oh!
- [Katie] You wait till it's calm
and then you throw in the-
(Katie laughing)
- Oh, it's shaking. - Wait till it-
Okay, and then go in, go in.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait. - Go in.
- Now?
- No! (both laughing)
- When it goes to the green-
- Okay, okay, okay, okay. - and then you go.
- Now I got it.
- Yeah, yep, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Oh yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh.
- Gelatine. - Mm, mm.
- It's clear.
Finished! - Yay!
She's very casual today,
she was wearing a short and then a chef hat.
(both laughing)
Shorts in the kitchen.
- Yeah, it's a no, no. - No.
Okay, kinda go a little faster.
- Oh, okay. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Both laughing)
Great job, great job.
There's jelly.
I think those are strawberries.
Okay, so now- (both laughing)
It's not motion sensor.
(Both laughing)
No, no.
You go like fast.
Yeah, yeah!
You're like, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.
Yes, yes! No, no!
(both laughing)
You're almost there!
Yes!
Yes! - Yeah!
- Okay, great job.
Okay, here we go.
Go, go, go. Go.
Oh, yes! - Yes!
- I am stressed for you. (Rie laughing)
Oh, this is the fun part.
Okay.
You have to move things in the fridge,
so you can fit that in.
You can move the tuna.
What is that canny thing?
You can move stuff up- - Ugh!
- Oh. Oh, new stuff, okay.
Maybe move some of this stuff up to the top shelf.
I don't think that's- - Ugh!
- Yeah, slide left and then move,
oh, that can go in there!
They knew we needed help.
They were like,
let's make it easy. (Rie laughing)
Yeah! - Okay.
- So, this you're going to go up and down to shake it out.
Yeah, no, too hard.
(both laughing)
You flew it out of the room!
Oh! Yeah. - Yeah.
- Isn't that beautiful?
- It's pretty.
- That's it, you did it.
I'm sorry I left you. - Thank you.
(both laughing)
- So, now we played the game
and I'm going to get ingredients
and we are going to recreate Flower Bavarois.
- [Both] Bavarois?
- Who knows? (laughing)
Okay, let's go.
(upbeat music)
- In the video game, Cooking Mama made cream first.
It seems like she poured into unset gelatine.
It's not the practical way.
So, I'm going to make the jelly part first.
In the video game there is no recipe,
so I'm going to show you how to make it step-by-step.
First, I'm going to bloom gelatine.
When you're making gelatine dessert,
you want to bloom gelatine first to activate.
I have hot water,
cup and a half hot water adding into sugar.
We have three fourths sugar.
I'm going to dissolve this completely.
Then adding one tablespoon lemon extract for flavoring.
So, gelatine has bloomed.
So, I'm going to add in hot water,
so gelatine is going to completely melt.
When you're trying this at home
and the gelatine didn't melt completely,
you can use microwave or you can melt it over the stove.
I have ice, one cup of water.
Now I'm going to pour this into the gelatine bowl,
so it will set faster.
So, ice has melted,
but I kind of see the bits of gelatine.
So, I'm going to strain it.
So, now it's time to get mold and strawberries.
I have jelly, it's ready.
And I have silicone mold.
And in the video game, there are red ingredients.
I think it's strawberries,
so we have strawberries
and we have beautiful edible flowers.
So, I'm going to fill this mold
and I'm going to go halfway.
So, it seems like there were four strawberries.
- [Katie] Do you play video games, Rie?
You don't, you don't?
- Only thing I play is Mario Kart.
- [Katie] You don't really like driving though.
In real life.
- (laughing) Yes.
It has been my New Year's resolution for five years,
drive on the highway.
Maybe we do Mario Kart game first and practice.
So, in the video game Mama made me throw flowers,
but we don't have machine hands,
so Katie's going to do it for me.
- Okay. Ready? - Ready?
- [Katie] Go!
You're much better, you're much better!
You're moving!
Too much, too much!
(both laughing)
Oh my god! That was shocking.
I am shocked.
- There's more flowers one side
and other side is empty.
It's almost like a wedding blessing.
- [Katie] Yeah! (laughing)
How would you rate this as practicality?
- Practicality, one.
(both laughing)
And I have two more,
so I'm going to just do normal.
You're going to unmold upside down,
so you want to put the pretty side down.
I want to put kind of different colors.
Another thing, if you're doing at home,
you don't want to put too much flower like I throw,
because flower is pretty, but it's not tasty.
So, in the video, Cooking Mama didn't set this jelly,
but in real life you want to set this jelly
at least 30 minutes in a refrigerator.
(upbeat music)
In the video game,
I think Cooking Mama's stand mixer had some trouble,
it was going super fast and super slow.
So, I hope Cooking Mama will fix her stand mixer.
But, I have the stand mixer that works.
I have three egg yolks and I'm going to mix it a little bit.
(stand mixer buzzing)
You just want to mix just like couple seconds,
just break the egg yolks.
Now, I'm going to add sugar little by little
with low-speed.
Hot milk.
(stand mixer buzzing)
I'm adding vanilla.
In the video game she used from the bottle.
If I do that, I'm not sure how much I'm adding.
I just want to add two teaspoons,
so let me do it.
It's off! (laughing)
And I'm going to mix a little bit
and then I'm going to add gelatine.
I think the game one is a little bit more soft.
We will see if it's going to melt.
Let's check.
So, I still see big chunks of gelatine
and we also used raw egg.
So, I want to make this Bavarois cream
as traditionally as I make.
So, I'm going to heat up over the stove.
I'll be right back.
Right, so I moved the mixture onto the stove.
So, you want to constantly mix until all the gelatine
and sugar is dissolved
and to make sure it doesn't burn or curdling.
So, the mixture is thick and it is ready.
So, I want to make this cream very smooth,
so I'm straining.
All right, so let's move on to the next step of the game.
(upbeat music)
All right, so I have hot cream
and I'm going to cool this over ice.
And I want to lower the temperature to room temperature.
And you want to constantly stir,
so it will cool quicker.
I think Mama is a maximalist
and I am more like a minimalist,
so, you know, like we can be friends,
but I think we have a different taste.
So, it came down to room temperature,
so I'm going to add heavy cream into this.
If you follow traditional Bavarois recipe,
you're going to whip the cream,
so it's become more airy,
but in the video game,
she combined heavy cream and whipped,
and then she whipped the mixture.
So, I'm going to follow her way.
I think it looks good.
You just want to whip until very thick
and I'm straining so extra air bubble,
it's not going to get into the mixture.
Next, we are going to fill the molds.
(upbeat music)
I'm going to pour Bavarois cream into jelly,
but I'm going to show you,
this is unset jelly.
Just like how Cooking Mama did.
And we will see if it's gonna make a nice two layer cake.
- [Katie] Do you think it will?
- I don't think so. (laughing)
Okay.
So, as you can see,
it is kinda incorporating in a weird way.
So, it's not giving a nice two layer, so it didn't work.
So, we are going to pour onto the set gelatine,
so we can make nice two layer cake.
Now I'm gonna pour just like Mama did.
- [Katie] You're doing better than in the game.
- Thanks. Okay.
One done.
I'm trying not to overfill like I did on a game.
Right, so I'm going to put this in the refrigerator,
but Katie want me to recreate the video game scene
where I'm doing fridge tetris.
So, we're going to do that next.
(upbeat music)
All right.
I don't know why canned tuna is in the refrigerator.
I'm gonna put...
- [Katie] That was really easy.
- (laughing) It's so easy. Five stars.
(Katie laughing)
(upbeat music)
All right, so the final step is unmolding the cake.
If I follow Cooking Mama's way,
we are just shaking the mold and I'm very skeptical,
but let's do anyways.
(Rie laughing)
- [Katie] Shake, shake, shake!
- Oh!
(Katie laughing)
Well, it's not too bad. It's not too bad.
So, I will show you the better way.
So, I think the best way to unmold the gelatine dessert
is dipping into hot water,
because gelatine melts.
Right, lay over.
Moment of truth.
- [Both] Yeah!
- It's even better than Mama's.
Oh, this is so beautiful.
- [Katie] (indistinct) Yay! Good job.
(upbeat music)
- It's so pretty, it's so colorful.
It's very jiggly.
Have a taste.
It's really good.
Creamy on the bottom.
We put lemon's extract,
so it has nice citrus flavor.
If I'm making this for second time,
I'm going to whip cream instead of combined heavy cream
and mixture together and whip,
because the Bavarois is a little bit dense.
I want it a little bit airy,
but overall tastes really good.
I will give this 2.8 stars out of 3.
Thank you so much for watching
and please comment below what Cooking Mama recipe
you want me to try.
Bye!
