- Disaster has hit my kitchen.
(air whooshing) - Welcome to the 2020
Tipsy Tasty Holiday Showdown.
Today, we have a couple of our tasty producers,
Katie and Jasmine, (air whooshing)
who will be creating holiday theme dishes
(air whooshing) with random
and limited ingredients.
There's gonna be cooking. (Jasmine shrieks)
There's gonna be alcohol. - Bottoms up, Katie.
- And there's gonna be sabotages.
- Katie.
- What, what, what?
- In front of you is the holiday basket
with the five ingredients you must use in your recipe.
Gingerbread men.
Eggnog.
Hot cocoa.
Pound cake and Beets.
- Beets?
I think I've had beets like twice in my life.
- [Kelly] You can use any additional ingredients
that you want but it comes at a cost.
To use a new ingredient
you'll have to take a shot of Bailey's.
But if that's not enough to scare you
there's gonna be a mid-competition sabotage.
But we'll get to that later.
(air whooshing) A few more side rules.
Since we're getting tipsy today, knives, flames
and ovens are off limits to keep us safe.
(air whooshing)
(upbeat music)
- So here's my plan.
I'll use the gingerbread men and cocoa powder for the crust.
The eggnog and cake to make the filling.
And beet juice to make a festive design on top.
It's a no-bake cheesecake, so it could fall apart.
- The only thing I'm really nervous about is the eggnog.
I haven't had eggnog before.
And so I haven't used it in cooking before.
So here's my plan.
I'll start by cutting four inch rounds into my sheet cake.
I'll pipe on eggnog and chocolate buttercream
in between each layer and sprinkle on crumble
gingerbread for extra texture.
And for the top layer, I'll spread beet infused buttercream,
top it with a bunch of raspberries
and finish with powdered sugar to look like a snowy day.
(air whooshing) - [Kelly] Three, two, one.
Go.
- Jasmine, what are you gonna do to get started?
- Oh no.
I have to cut my pound cake and we don't have knives.
- What are you gonna do?
- No knife, but I have a plan.
I'm gonna use a bench scraper
to get as perfect layers as possible.
I think it'll work.
- I'm just gonna be putting some of my cake in a bowl
and I'm gonna infuse eggnog with cake.
- Oh, that's smart.
- We'll see how smart it is.
- This is hard.
- I'm already making a mess.
- Oh my goodness.
Look at how beautifully precise---
- Did it work?
(Katie and Jasmine laugh)
- Fine, we'll work with this.
There's an easy fix
because I'm gonna have to take a shot soon for buttercream.
- Oh. So you'll just forget about it (laughs).
- Exactly.
- Have you heard of cereal milk?
I'm basically making cake milk.
It's just eggnog cake milk.
Does that sound good?
- That sounded good.
- Now I'm gonna be taking my eggnog.
I'm gonna measure out about a cup and a half.
That's a lot of eggnog.
I'm not gonna use this all.
It doesn't look that appetizing
but I feel like it's gonna taste good.
- I'm using my four inch cookie cutter
and I'm getting my rounds for the cakes
since it's going to be three tiers.
I used to eat this pound cake all the time
when I was younger.
- I didn't have pound cake very much growing up.
- There was always one in the freezer.
At least one.
- Wait, you guys just has always had a backup pound cake?
- (mumbles) So good.
- My family was like all about the ice cream, you know?
So I'm gonna let this cake sit in this eggnog.
It looks really unappetizing right now.
It kinda looks like barf.
Jasmine, this does not look good.
- So Katie's looks like barf and I'm gonna win (laughs).
- [Katie] How dare you.
So for my crust, I'm gonna need to take my first shot.
I need butter to make this crust.
I'm gonna need to take my first shot.
(Jasmine gasps)
- Shot, shot, shot, shot.
- So I just do this?
- Actually, I'll need my very soon.
Should I take the first one with you?
- Yeah, let's do it.
- [Jasmine] Alright.
- What are you taking yours for?
- I'm gonna need buttercream in just a second.
So.
- Well a shot for some butter and some buttercream.
I've never shot Bailey's.
I've only sipped this stuff.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
It's like chocolate milk.
I mean, I'll never say no to a drink,
but it's a little early to be taking shots.
- I could never ever shoot a shot.
Did you get it all the away?
- Yeah, I did.
- It's taken me like four sips.
- Come on Katie.
Bottoms up.
- I got it.
(upbeat music)
- [Jasmine] Sounds of a winner.
- [Katie] That is delicious though.
Whoa (coughs).
I just took my first shot and I feeling okay right now.
I'm gonna go melt my butter.
- I can't stop eating the pound cake.
It's like really delicious.
- While my butter is melting,
I'm gonna start crushing up some gingerbread men.
- Katie, guess what?
- [Katie] What?
- My entire basket was stolen off my front porch.
- All of it?
- All of it. And I don't have gingerbread men.
I have Ninja bread men (laughs).
- Wait, that's so much better than my ginger---
So for the gingerbread men,
I would normally put them in a food processor
to make like a crust,
but we're not allowed near those things.
'Cause we've had the shot of Bailey's.
So I'm gonna put it in a plastic bag
and use a rolling pin to crush it.
- I'm gonna start infusing the buttercream.
So I'm gonna start with hot cocoa packet
to make a cocoa butter cream.
- I don't think this is professional.
I'm using the handle to crush it (laughs).
- Whatever gets the job done, you know.
- Are you feeling that shot at all?
- I'm like little (mumbles).
- I feel a little fun.
It's not distracting me from the challenge at hand.
This might be the most chill competition I've ever done.
- I'm a really good time.
I've added the hot cocoa to the buttercream
but I'm afraid it won't dissolve.
So I'm gonna pop it into the microwave for a little bit.
- [Katie] Come on.
- How's it going over there?
- Just getting out all my frustration with 2020 right now.
- It's definitely more brown than before
which I'm very happy about.
Let's put that to the side and mix our next butter creams.
This one will be the beet infused one.
- I hope I have eno---
You know, I've never made this recipe before
so I don't know if this is gonna work.
Now I'm gonna add the hot cocoa powder.
I'll mix these guys together.
This is just gonna add some sweetness
and some chocolate-ness.
- Now I'm adding in my beet juice
to color this buttercream.
So red . That's insane.
Look at this, Katie.
- Whoa. It looks like Halloween.
- I love Halloween.
- It doesn't look like Christmas yet.
- Not yet. (laughs)
- So to my cookies and my cocoa powder,
I'm gonna add some of that melted butter
that I had to take a shot for.
- Oh-oh.
- All right.
I'm gonna try this ginger butter chocolate crust
and see how it tastes.
Ooh, yummy.
You need it to be wet sand.
Because this is a no bake it really needs to stick together
when you put it in the fridge.
I'm feeling pretty good about this so far.
- I finally got my pound cake thawed,
and now we're just gonna get a four inch round from here.
- You stressed?
You stressed?
- I'm not stressed.
No stress here.
- Hands up ladies.
It's time for a mid-competition challenge.
- What?
No. I'm in the middle of straining eggnog.
- What are we doing?
- I sent you both some icing and a blindfold.
Put on that blindfold and you'll have just 60 seconds
to decorate a gingerbread man.
- She said blindfolded?
- Yeah, this is hard.
- Then we'll post on Instagram
and let you guys pick your favorites.
The winner gets to use a free extra ingredient
but the loser has to take another shot.
- I don't wanna take an extra shot.
- No, bring it on.
Looks like this mid-competition game is in my favor.
I'm very good at cookie decorating.
- I'm so nervous.
- All right, we got this.
- All right, let's do it.
- I don't even know what color's what.
- [Katie] Oh, shoot. I didn't look.
Oh no.
- Three, two, one.
Decorate!
- This is impossible.
- Is it even come out?
Oh yeah, it is.
Oh, it's on my finger.
How do you do this?
We only have one minute.
You know what?
I'm just gonna go for like a different type of guy.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I can't see any of the colors.
I can't see the cookie.
So I'm just gonna go with an abstract design.
- Oh shoot.
I forgot I have a ninja bread man.
This is not normal shape. (Katie laughs)
- [Katie] I don't know what color I'm doing now.
Oh, this is probably bad.
- I'm probably piping all over the counter.
(Katie laughs)
I'm sure my looks amazing actually.
- I can't tell where he is.
Okay. (mumbles)
- [Jasmine] Just one button.
- [Katie] I have to like orient where his little foot is.
(alarm rings)
- Time's up.
Back away from the table and icing down.
- I don't even want to look.
(Katie and Jasmine laugh)
- [Katie] It looks like mine was bleeding out his ears.
Look at it bleeding.
(Katie and Jasmine laugh)
- I'm very good at cookie decorating.
Looks like his heart is in his knee.
- Now that we have pictures of both of your cookies
let's post on Instagram and see who gets more votes.
(air whooshing) (upbeat music)
The results are in.
And to everyone's surprise,
the person who gets an extra ingredient is,
Katie.
- Yeey!
This like bodes very well for me.
(Jasmine shrugs) - Bogus.
Katie just went all pretty, pretty stripes.
- He's a little Jackson Pollock-y.
- This masterpiece that should honestly just be in a museum.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Jokes on you, Katie.
I threw the competition so I could have another shot.
Yeah, Cheers.
Cheers.
Oh God.
- Did you do that all in one?
- Yes I did.
- I'm so impressed by you.
Alright. So what are you gonna do now?
- I think we should take a dance break.
That's what I think.
(upbeat music) - Dance break, dance break.
I'm too sober for this dance break. (laughs)
- I'm feeling it.
- Back to the dish, what do you have to do?
- Now I need to put in my buttercream into piping bags
and I'll begin piping the first and second layer.
What about you, Katie?
- I'm gonna take my eggnog cake thing
and strain it through a sieve or strainer.
It's gonna be a slow process.
So how is the piping going?
- I have my new re-usable piping bags.
Oh.
- What happened?
Did the stirring get away from you?
- The buttercream mooks so fast
and I'm not moving very fast right now.
- All my big cake chunks are out of my eggnog milk.
I'm gonna set this to the side
and I'm gonna whip up some---
Oh, I need to take a shot.
- (gasps) For what?
- I need to take a shot for my cream cheese.
- Ooh.
- Cheers.
(Katie mumbles)
I can already tell the next few hours are gonna be tough,
especially if I have to take more shots.
Well, here's my much deserved cream cheese
since I took that shot.
And I'm gonna mix up this cream cheese
until it's super light and fluffy.
- I'm gonna put the butter cream in my piping bag.
- Great. I'm gonna start adding in my eggnog.
I think I'm just gonna do a half a cup.
Hopefully that'll be enough flavor.
- (gasps) Oh my God.
- What?
- I'm supposed to infuse this buttercream with eggnog.
- This is why you should not drink and cook.
- I've already set my buttercream
and now I can add some eggnog.
But I'm not gonna ask too much
because I don't want it to get really running
like the beet one.
- My cheesecake is like not sweet.
It's just cheese (mumbles).
I'm gonna use sugar as my extra ingredient.
- Smart.
- Then I don't have to take a shot.
- I'm pouring some eggnog into the squeeze bottle.
Bakeries, when they want to moisten cake
they'll sometimes do this with like simple syrup
or butter and I'm gonna go with eggnog.
- So I just tasted some of my eggnog filling,
adding some powdered sugar
and this'll be my extra bonus ingredient
I got from the cookie challenge.
- Back to putting the buttercream into the piping bag
but this time infused with eggnog.
- Let's try this.
(upbeat music)
Much better.
Much closer to cheesecake
- For my next step,
I'm gonna finally begin
putting these layers of cake together.
And I'm gonna start with my cocoa cream
and I'll alternate it with my eggnog cream.
So, it'll look like checkers when you cut into it.
- Next, I'm gonna add heavy whipping cream to a bowl.
And this is what makes it a no-bake cheesecake.
The whipping cream is gonna help hold it shape
once I whip it up.
So. (mixer roars)
Whoa.
Oh, I need to take a shot.
Heavy whipping cream is a new ingredient.
When are you taking your next shots?
- I need raspberries next.
- Okay. Take a shot for your raspberries with me.
- Fine.
- I think this is the last one I need to take too.
Thank the Lord.
Cheers.
Alright, here we go.
- Let's party.
(Katie mumbles)
- I just took another shot
and I'm feeling things will go downhill pretty quickly.
Oh.
So ugly.
Oh.
- What is happening over there?
What are you doing?
And is that your buttercream melting?
Why don't you put your buttercream
in the fridge or the freezer
just to get chilly a little bit?
- I think we should just stop
and we should just hang out.
- Jasmine wants to hang out right now and just like play.
But like we have a competition to do.
- This is pretty fun.
I could do this more often.
- Alright.
My whipped cream is super whipped
and now I'm gonna fold in the eggnog mixture.
We wanna fold it in
so that it doesn't deflate our whipped cream.
You're kind of making basically a cheesecake mousse.
- I need like a rotating cake stand thingy.
I'm trying to even out the cake layers
because one of them is higher than the other.
You know what?
That'll just have to do.
I'll even it out with a buttercream.
I think I got all my layers on.
- How's it looking?
- Really ugly.
- Great.
- Great for you.
Horrible for me.
I will just never win a competition.
That's fine.
- You will win a competition.
- Will I win today, Katie?
- I don't know if I'm gonna win.
I don't even know if this tastes good.
Remember when I was gonna make a cheesecake with no sugar?
- Yeah. I miss those times.
- No, that was 10 minutes ago.
And then I'm gonna take some of the juice from my beets
and dye this red, but I don't wanna put too much in.
- [Jasmine] I'm going to town on this, baby.
- [Katie] I feel like it's just going into like,
purple land here.
Okay. Lemme, lemme taste this.
(upbeat music)
(mumbles) Earthy.
It tastes like dirt.
I'm gonna go get my crust
and then I'm going to start putting this together.
- (mumbles) It's actually not that bad.
That's actually pretty.
Oh, I missed the whole side.
- So I have my crust and I'm gonna place my filling on top.
- I'm gonna put this back in the fridge
so we it can settle a little bit more.
I've prepared my raspberries
that I will put on the top of the cake.
And then I'll need to take a shot for powder sugar.
Cheers, Katie.
- Cheers.
- Thanks for the thumbs up.
(Katie and Jasmine laugh)
(jasmine shrieks)
- I saw at the beginning of that I'm a lightweight,
but after seeing Jasmine,
I think I might be like heavyweight.
So right now I'm just taking an offset spatula
and trying to smooth out as best I can.
- You must think,
"Wow. This is such an easy competition."
But you know what?
At the end, I'm gonna be like---
- Wow.
- I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.
- [Katie] I'm just gonna like plop some dots of it.
I'm gonna take a wooden stake and just swirl it through it.
This is kind of working.
This looks like a Valentine's day gig.
- Pretty great.
Whatever you're doing, keep on doing it.
- [Katie] I can't tell if that's because you want me
to be bad.
- [Jasmine] No. Definitely not that one.
But it's finally great to feel like I'm ahead.
- Then, you know what?
It kind of looks like retro.
It looks like a Christmas thing that my grandma would like.
I'm gonna go put this in the fridge to chill.
I don't wanna take another shot,
but I really want to make a garnish
on top of the cheesecake.
So.
Bottoms up.
(glass thuds)
(Katie shrieks)
I'm gonna go melt some chocolate.
So I've taken my shot.
Feeling great.
I've put the chocolate in a piping bag
and I've melted it
and I'm going to pipe out some chocolate tree garnishes.
- I have finally gotten to a place where I like my cake.
But I think I wanna put a little bit more buttercream
on it.
So I'm gonna pop this in the fridge
and take it back out in five Minute.
- I made my trees.
- Cute. Oh my God.
Those are adorable.
- But I'm afraid they're not gonna stay together.
So we'll see.
- I finally got the cake to a good place
and I forgot to sprinkle in my crumble gingerbread
in between the layers.
So I'm just gonna do it around the base of the cake.
- I'm gonna take my chocolate trees
that have pretty much set
and I'm gonna put them into my cheesecake.
Those are cute.
- I am now adding my raspberries on the top of my cake.
(Jasmine gasps) - What?
- My fricking beet buttercream.
I'm too tipsy and I forgot every step,
like I have been doing for the past many steps.
I don't even know where my buttercream is.
I have a lot of Garland here
and I have such an urge to wear it like a boa.
- You totally should.
I support that.
- What am I doing?
- Okay, Katie, welcome to my show where I beat my friend.
- Oh wow.
I do think yours is gonna taste very good.
- I'm gonna make it snow.
- [Katie] Ooh. My favorite part.
I think it looks really pretty.
- I think we're about ready to pack these up
and have Kelly come and pick these up from us.
- But I hope it doesn't taste too much of beets.
(air whooshing) (upbeat music)
- [Kelly] Looking at Jasmine's,
I love the raspberries on top with the powdered sugar.
It looks like snow.
And looking at Katie's,
I really like these chocolate trees.
They are so cute.
But the most important thing is taste.
So let's give these a try.
(orchestral music)
Okay guys, I've tried both dishes.
Jasmine.
I really love your creative use of the buttercream
but I kinda felt like the gingerbread was an afterthought.
Katie.
I love that you incorporated cocoa powder into the crust,
but I do think your filling could've been a tad bit sweeter.
But the winner I chose today really impressed me
with their presentation and creativity.
The winner is,
Jasmine!
(Jasmine screams)
- Yeah.
(gasps) I won.
- I think Jasmine did a really good job.
I'm not surprised she won.
But hers looked like it was out of a bake shop.
- [Jasmine] Good job, Katie.
For helping me win.
I mean, at the end of all this, I had a really good time.
I'm still tipsy,
so I'm feeling the festive holiday spirit.
And I think we should do this again.
- Thanks much for tuning into Tipsy Tasty's
Holiday Showdown.
Happy holidays and let us know in the comments below
if we should do this again.
- Have a Merry Christmas
or a happy holiday.
Oh my God.
You have a Garland with lights.
- Yes. I'm a crafty gal.
- Bye guys.
- Bye.
- [Man] Oh yes.
(upbeat music)
