- Okay, back to work.
- Mom, what?
(upbeat music)
Hello everyone, currently we are still under
the safer at home situation.
Mother's Day is upon us
and I'm unable to be with my family at the moment.
Because I do not wanna run the risk
of travelling and then spreading it to
some of my family members who are
very vulnerable to this virus.
And I'm grateful that they are healthy
and I'm healthy and I am in a stable situation.
But, I'm human and I can't lie to you guys,
I've done this intro several times
because each time I have cried,
because you know, I miss my family so much.
And I know there are a lot of people
in the same situation where we can't go see them.
But, I'm very excited to change this
and make it into a happy, fun memory.
These are happy, happy sad tears.
So instead of being sad about not being able to see my mom
for Mother's Day,
I decided to do this video
that will kind of give us a new memory.
We are going to be doing a Mother's Day
mystery recipe swap.
Basically, we are going to exchange recipes
but we are not going to know
what exactly the recipe is.
And not only that, the recipe
we will be giving each other,
it's something that like we love,
but also with a twist.
And, my mother is such an amazing hyper-creative.
And I know she's just gonna slay this recipe
I'm gonna give her.
So I'm gonna jump on a video call with her
to explain to her the rules
and what we're gonna do.
Let's do it.
- Hey.
Say hi.
- Hi.
- So since we are in the self-isolation
safer at home situation,
a lot of people are looking to the internet for recipes
and I also wanna make this like a fun
Mother's Day type of video. - Ahhh.
- Twist on the memory.
- What would we make if we were together.
- Exactly.
- What kind of things would we bake.
- Exactly.
- I'm trying to think if I've ever seen you
bake before at home.
- Well so you know you have to give me something
like at my level.
- Oh yeah.
I've given you the most awesome, epic, fun recipe
that has a really good twist to it.
- We're just gonna get the ingredients
and the instructions.
And I think we'll be able to find out like, what it is,
I think you're probably gonna figure out what it is.
Because you're a pro.
But I think you'll be very happy about it.
It's going to be challenging,
it's a little advanced.
But I know you can do it.
Are you excited?
- I'm excited!
Am I allowed to like,
add extras to it?
Or does it have to be exactly the recipe you send me?
- Yeah, you can do whatever.
I wanna see what you do with this.
After it's all done, we're going to be coming back on here
and showing each other the result.
Alright, I'm about to send you your recipe.
- Okay, I'll send you mine.
Fun way to celebrate Mother's Day.
- By you making your recipe yourself,
that I made you do.
- Yeah.
- This recipe calls for one half cup unsalted butter,
one tablespoon cooking oil.
(sped up high pitch speech)
One small bag of potato chips.
Am I making it like a cake?
With potato chips?
Mom, what?
I think I know what it is.
But to make her proud, I'm gonna put a double twist on it.
'Cause there's already a twist
but I'm gonna put a double twist.
So, I think this whole thing is like can we
out-extra each other.
So, I'm ready to get started.
One thing that I noticed within the ingredient list
is that it calls for half a cup
of unsweetened cocoa powder.
I don't have cocoa powder.
But I do have Ibarra chocolate.
So, what I did, I just grinded up some Ibarra chocolate.
This is gonna be my cocoa powder.
I think these are brownies.
So hopefully these brownies will taste like Ibarra chocolate
which is going to be amazing, and I'm so excited.
Okay, let me get started.
- [Kathy] Alrighty, I have all the ingredients here,
to make this mystery recipe.
And, I don't care how this turns out,
how can you go wrong with these ingredients.
Conchas, pecans, butter.
Okay, I'm gonna get started.
- [Maya] Ingredients, ready to go.
- I wouldn't say I'm an experienced baker,
I'm more like an experimental baker
'cause I look at baking like crafting
and like, mix media baking.
So that ones pretty well greased.
- So I have lightly greased the pan,
and now I am going to melt the butter
because it says, "Heat butter in a small pan
"until it is melted and hot."
Take you with me.
Let's go, you're my friend today.
Let's go do dis.
I need to clean my stove, I'm not gonna show you my stove.
But I am gonna heat up this butter.
- We're also making sopa.
So, I'm gonna bake and cook.
I just feel so domestic during quarantine.
- The butter is melting,
I'm lightly greasing this pan.
(upbeat music)
(electric whisk whirring)
- I used one of each color,
because I know this is a Concha themed recipe.
And it's gonna look beautiful and colorful.
So, I'm going to cut these.
(upbeat music)
I'm gonna put 'em all top side up.
- You know when I was little,
sometimes maybe I would get embarrassed
because she was not like the other moms at all.
She during the day would work at her day job,
which was the newspaper.
She was an entertainment writer.
At night, she would come home
and then be a wife, be a mother.
And them make a bunch of art
and write her books.
And so when I was little,
I did not know that she was doing all these things.
I didn't fully understand everything
until I grew up and realized that, wow,
my mother is a superhero.
Everything that I'm doing now,
she was doing...
Like I'm barely struggling to do this
all single with no kids.
- Fold it like this while I put my hands.
(cheerful music)
(whisking)
(machine whirring)
One's still rolling.
- [Maya's Dad] It's on.
- That one is still rolling.
- [Maya's Dad] Yeah that one's rolling.
- There the milk.
The condensed milk.
Cinnamon.
Nutmeg.
(soft music)
One fourth of ground clove.
This reminds me when I was 21,
we would smoke clove cigarettes
when we'd go out to the club.
And people were like, "Ew, I hate clove cigarettes."
We were like in mod-zone.
That we were all cool, anyway.
Oh my God, it's gonna be so good.
Oh my God, it looks so good.
(cheerful music)
I'm gonna add coconut to this.
I just think it would be so good with coconut.
And this is bread pudding.
I can tell, this is concha bread pudding.
Okay, now we're going to cover this with foil.
And then it's gonna go for 50 minutes in the oven.
I can't wait, oh my God.
I feel sexy just like putting this all together.
Here we go.
I get a little excited over deserts.
Okay, we'll be back, 50 minutes.
(upbeat music)
Okay, it's been in the oven for an hour.
Ho-ho-ho.
- Alright, I gotta say I don't think these
turned out the way that I expected them to turn out.
They actually look more like a cookie
than they do like a brownie.
But, they taste delicious.
Like with the salty and sweet,
they taste absolutely divine.
Presentation wise, I don't think they look that good.
It's hard to get them like, like square.
Like a proper square, they keep breaking.
Oh no.
Either way, I know my mom's gonna be proud.
Okay actually, wait a second.
This looks beautiful.
Oh my God yum, this looks so good.
Mom, how'd it go?
- It went so good.
- How was your experience, like making it?
Did you run into any like roadblocks?
- No, it went super smooth.
Very smooth.
I was like, really impressed with the recipe.
I decided to improvise a little bit
so I added coconut.
And it was delicious with it.
- So did you figure out what the recipe was?
- Concha bread pudding.
- Concha bread pudding, exactly.
- Yes.
- You ate a lot (laughing).
- No, no, no the other piece is right here.
I cut it for you.
- Oh yum.
I wanted to make it different
and I didn't have cocoa powder,
but I did have Ibarra chocolate.
Why are you shaking your head no?
- (chuckling) 'Cause they're two separate things.
- I don't know, but I mashed it up into a fine powder.
- Okay.
- They don't look good.
- Oh wow, those look good, hold it up closer.
So I would crumple the potato chips a little bit more
so it's like potato chip dust.
- Well, this is how I wanted to do it.
- Oh, okay, okay.
- An Aries daughter and a Sagittarius mom.
(laughing)
- Did you think it was weird
to put potato chips on brownies?
- No, we've done this before.
Kind of, it tastes really good with the Ibarra chocolate.
Because... - Oh good.
- You get like that-- - You gave it a Mexi spin
- I did.
- Isn't it funny how I added coconut to mine
and you added Ibarra chocolate to yours?
Like mother like daughter,
we have to add our own little twist.
You know what I love the most
was knowing that we were working on this together.
It was just really special for Mother's Day.
When all of this is over and we come through it,
I think it's a fun tradition
that we should keep up
where every Mother's Day we give
a surprise recipe to each other.
(uplifting music)
