Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!

Lately, I’ve been playing a lot of Cooking Mama 4 on my Nintendo 3DS. And, I love this game!

And I’m so excited because Cooking Mama 5 - Bon Appetite, is coming out. So I thought,

in honor of the game coming out, let’s make a treat from the game. Today we are going

making Chocolate Cornets, which are a Japanese pastry. They kind of remind me of

chocolate croissants, they’re a little bit similar. And we’re gonna have a very special

guest come visit us today at the end of the show, so, let’s get started!

The things you will need for the pastry bread will be: 1 big mixing bowl, a spatula,

3/4 cup of milk, 1 cup of flour, and then another 1/2 a cup of flower because we’re gonna

add them separately. You’ll also need: 4 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter,

1 and 1/4 teaspoons of yeast, 1/2 a teaspoon of salt and some aluminum foil.

The ingredients you’ll need for the mousse filling will be: 1 cup of regular milk,

1 and 1/3 tablespoons of corn starch, you’re gonna need 2 eggs, but we’re just gonna be

using the yolks, so, 2 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of butter,

2 and 1/2 tablespoons of regular sugar, and 1 tablespoon of flour.

Let’s put it all together!

The first thing you’re gonna do is microwave your milk for 2 and 1/2 minutes on high,

and then add it to your big mixing bowl.

Oooooh!

And then you’re gonna add your sugar, and the butter.

Then you’re gonna mix everything together until your butter is melted. Now we’re gonna add

the 1 cup of flour, to the liquid mixture, here we go. And you’re gonna keep mixing,

mixing it together and then let it sit for a few minutes because you don’t want your

batter to be too hot when we add the yeast, you just want it to be warm, not hot.

Now we’re gonna add your yeast, salt and the rest of the flour, and mix it all together.

Now we’re gonna knead the dough for about 10 minutes with flour until it’s nice and smooth

and stretchy! So you’re just gonna take a little bit of flour, put it on top of

your surface. Oh it’s nice and sticky! Plop it down right in the middle, look at that!

Sticky, sticky. Work the flour in, and we’re gonna knead it until it’s not sticky anymore.

Once your dough is this kind of consistency, it doesn’t stick to your hands anymore and

it’s stretchy. You’re just gonna put it in a bowl, like this, and then you’re gonna take

some saran wrap and cover it. And you’re gonna let it sit for 1 hour, for the yeast

to rise.

After an hour your dough should look like this, look at that! It fluffed up so much!

Now you’re gonna take off the saran wrap, take it out of the bowl, and now you’re

gonna divide it into 8 balls. So what I like to do is first divide it in half, just eyeball

it, and then half again, and then half again.

Once you’ve got your dough into 8 little balls, you can re-use your saran wrap and

you’re just going to cover them for another 10 minutes.

Now you’re gonna take 8 sheets of aluminum foil, they’re each about 15 inches long

and we’re

gonna do a little… Origami! It’s almost like origami, it’s pretty fun.

The first thing you’re gonna do is fold this in half, and then you’re gonna fold

the bottom up to here to be a triangle. Then, this top part you’re just gonna fold it down,

and with this little excess you’re gonna tuck it under. Then you’re gonna fold it

in half again to be a smaller triangle, and one more time. Now you’ve got your little triangle,

and this corner is going to be the bottom and you’re just going to roll it over,

starting from this side, over to this side. Then you’re gonna do that to the rest of

these, you’re gonna need to make 8 total.

Now we’re ready to make the pastry cornet! Are you ready? This is the fun part!

You’re gonna take off the saran wrap and then you’re gonna take your little aluminum middles,

and you’re gonna spray ‘em a little bit.

Oh… Eeeeeee!!! Yeargh… Is this for real??

Just give it a little spray, boop!

Now you’re gonna take one of your little bread balls, and you’re gonna roll it out.

Look at that, nice and stretchy! Wee-wee! It’s like jump rope!

Once you got your dough rolled out like this, what you’re gonna do, is take

your little center piece, and you’re gonna start at the tip, at the bottom. And then

you’re just gonna roll all the way up, and you’ll want it to have 5 creases. So there we've got

2, and now we’ve got 3, and now we’ve got 4, and 5! Perfect!

Then you’re just gonna do that to the rest of the rolls. I love this part, it’s pretty fun!

Weeeeeeee, oh!!!!

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmmm!

Once you’ve got your cornets rolled, you’re gonna preheat your oven to 350 and

we’re gonna bake these for 15 minutes until they’re golden brown.

While the cornets or cornets, I’m not quite sure how to say it, are baking, we’re gonna

be making the chocolate mousse filling. Yum yum yum!

So the first thing that you’re gonna do is take your 2 egg yolks and add them to a

big mixing bowl. And then you’re gonna add in your sugar.

Take a whisk and then mix it all together. Now you’re gonna boil your milk, and then once

it’s boiled you’re going to slowly add it to your egg-sugar mixture so that it won’t

cook the egg. And now we’re gonna add our dry ingredients, we’re gonna add flour,

cocoa powder, and some corn starch. Mix it up, once you’ve mixed in all the dry ingredients,

then you’re gonna slowly add the rest of the milk, I like to do it by spoonful.

Spoon, and mix! Now you’re gonna take your chocolate mixture and you’re gonna pour

it back into your pan. Now we’re gonna take this over to the stove and we’re gonna stir it

on a medium heat until you have a thick, pudding consistency.

Once you’ve made your chocolate mousse, we’re going to let it chill, let it cool down in a very cool way.

Let me show you what to do, I’m just using a spatula to scrape the chocolate mousse into a

little bowl, and then we’re gonna stick it into a larger bowl of ice water, just to chill.

After you’ve let the chocolate mousse chill for just a little bit, now we are going to

assemble our pastries, I’m so excited! So you’re gonna take your chocolate mousse,

and I’ve got a plastic little bag here. And I just put it inside of a cup so it would be easy,

and you’re gonna put it inside the bag. Oooooh, scoop it in there.

Now you’re gonna tie the top of your bag, I’m using a little elastic tie, sometimes I use

hair things, whatever I have. And now we’re gonna take out the aluminum foil in the middle.

So what you’re gonna do is just pick one of these little guys up, and just give a

little twist, and there you go.

He’s like, fill me with chocolate! Yum yum yum yum yum!

Take all of these out, you don’t want to eat these.

Now the fun part, we are going to fill our pastries with yummy chocolate.

So, you’re gonna take your chocolate mousse, pick one of these guys up and just fill it up!

Then you’re gonna do this to the rest of your pastries.

Ta-da! Here are our Cooking Mama inspired Chocolate Cornets, or Cornets, I’ve heard it being

pronounced both ways, I’m not really sure.

But, I’m so excited for the new game to come out, Cooking Mama is one of my personal favorite

video games to play. I know, who would have thought!?!?
