ro: so that is exactly what we are gonna be making today. jake: mmmmmm! both: let's get started! both: hahhhh! ro: heyyyyy! jake: haaahhhh! jake: i feel like we're landing a plane. ro: the things you will need to make these ice cream sandwiches, will be: ro: 2-1/2 cups of all purpose flour, 1-1/2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of butter, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ro: 1/2 a cup of hershey's cocoa powder, 2 eggs, 1/8th of a teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ro: and, 1/2 a teaspoon of almond extract. you will also need.... jake: huuuhhhh! a cookie cutter shaped like a cat's face, a oval cookie cutter, to cut out it's tiny little eyes,
jake: 3 strips of acetate, and that's not all, you're also going to need 2 things of vanilla ice cream, jake: sans the vanilla beans, and this is only 1, the other 1 is inside me, but we'll deal with that later. jake: and 2 things of strawberry ice cream, again there's only 1 shown, i have a problem! both: now let's put it all together! ro: the first thing that we're gonna do is whisk together our dry ingredients in this bowl right here. ro: jake... jake: yes!? ro: i'm gonna have you whisk, grab that whisk. jake: mmmm, ok. ro: first i'm gonna add the flour. jake: oh, i'm whisking it! ro: yeah, whisk it together. jake: you really got mix the flour with the flour. ro: mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm. ro: then we're gonna add our cocoa powder. jake: really get, really get into that whisking.
jake: let's just really look at that. do you see the whisking? ro: can you see this? jake: can you really? ro: can you see this? this is... jake: the closer your face gets, the more you whisk it! ro: we're adding a little salt, and baking powder. jake: now we are going to mix together our butter and sugar, jake: would you do me the honor of putting it in the bowl please? ro: mmmhmm, come on! jake: you can do it little guy! jake: look at it! ro: oh, there he goes! jake: you're so good butter! jake: alright... ro: now sugar. mix together until it's light and fluffy. jake: oh no! too high! ro: now we are gonna add the rest of our wet ingredients, we have our eggs, and extracts.
ro: we are gonna add the eggs 1 at a time, 1 at a time jake! jake: i know, ro: first egg, whole egg... jake: ooooh, that was great! ro: oooh, that was fast! ro: teamwork makes the dream work. jake: awwww! ro: awww! both: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! jake: scrape-scrape-scrape, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo! both: scrape-scrape-scrape! both: scrape your bowl! ro: alright, now the extracts. jake: extract. ro: mix it up one more time jake! jake: oh yeah! jake: now we do something esle which is....
ro: add our dry ingredients, we are gonna add this in halves. ro: so in 2 parts, i'm just gonna eyeball it, then mix it up! jake: oooh yeah. ro: the chocolate just hit me in the face, this smells really good! ro: alright, our second half, mix it on low! jake: oh that was low... ro: so that you don't get a big dust cloud! jake: like.... this? ro: yeah like that! like, yeah, like that! jake: don't do that. ro: don't do that! ro: you're gonna smell and taste great! jake: some cookie just flew away!
jake: our cookie dough is now ready. ro: yep, and we are gonna wrap it up and put it in the fridge for 2 hours to chill. ro: so over here i've just got some plastic wrap. jake: oh, it's heavy! ro: i'll help you hold the bowl! yes! jake: huuhhhh! ro: and i'm just gonna gently pack it down, just a little bit. ro: then i'm gonna wrap him up tight, like a little burrito, or something! ro: boom! now we're gonna pop it in the fridge for 2 hours! ro: our dough has chilled and now we're gonna roll it out and jake, i'm gonna teach you a little baking flair. jake: ok, i don't think... ro: have you ever seen like, bartender flair?
jake: where they flip things in the air? ro: yeah they flip like bottles and they're juggling. jake: i've heard of this. jake: so we're gonna do that, we're gonna juggle the dough? ro: yeah, i decided there needs to be baking flair! jake: yeah. ro: you're just gonna hold it here, and pull it! jake: this is what a mistake looks like kids! jake: here we go! ro: you can do it! jake: alright, well i don't want to hit you in the face! ro: ok, i'm gonna stand over here then. jake: ok... ro: ok. jake: huwah! ro: wooooo!
jake: come at me! jake: if we could do an instant replay in slow motion, where we see it flipping in the air, jake: it got, like, at least 3 flips. ro: woooooooooooooooo! jake: now what do we do? ro: now we're gonna sprinkle a little bit of cooca powder onto the surface. ro: and then i am gonna cut the cookie dough in 1/2 because it's easier to roll out 1/2 at a time. ro: it's a lot of cookie dough. and jake i'm gonna have you roll it out. jake: oh yeah, use those muscles. ro: just sprinkle a little bit on top. jake: becasue i'm too strong! ro: and then just go pewm-pewm-pewm!
jake: pewm-pewm! ro: different ways, different ways, you can come this way. jake: pewm! ro: oh, oh, oh, oh! jake: pewm! ro: i'll hold this, i'll hold this. ro: you're just gonna roll it about 1/4 inch thick. ro: we got our little cookie cutter over here, i'm gonna try to cut 6 of them. ro: because remember an ice cream sandwich, you need the top cookie and the bottom cookie. ro: so every ice cream sandwich will need 2 cookies. ro: now we're gonna remove the excess dough, just peel it. you can just grab it jake, get in there jake: ok. ro: you can do it! ro: transfer them to our baking sheet, it's lined with a piece of parchment paper so it won't stick to the bottom.
jake: so for the top cookie we're gonna cut out 2 eyeballs for each 1. ro: you're gonna heat your oven to 325 degrees and bake them for about 16 minutes. jake: cookies are in the oven baking, and now i think we should sheet our ice cream yes? ro: we're gonna prepare our ice cream. ro: the first thing that we're gonna do is spray it down. ro: wooooo. jake: ooohhhhhh! ro: now you're gonna place the plastic wrap down, leaving a little bit of overhang on each side, ro: so that when we remove our ice cream, it just makes it a little bit easier. ro: and then we're gonna do a short piece right down the center.
jake: so we have our pan ready, we have our surgical gloves on... jake: now we are going to play with some ice cream! ro: yes we are! jake: mmmmmmmm! ro: we're gonna start with strawberry, and the reason that we're doing ro: this is because our ice cream sandwich is a 50-50. ro: 50% strawberry, and 50% vanilla! i swear i'm gonna open this jake, it's gonna be great! ro: once i get it open. jake: i just know it's gonna be like the ark of the covenant. jake: oh you did it! ro: i did it, i did it, i did it! jake: everyone, hold on, stop what you're doing at home... jake: she did it! jake: here i'll do sound effects for you. scchhhuuuuuuupppppp... ro: it's like, really cold!
jake: scchhhuuuuuuupppppp. ro: i don't know if i can get it out....ok, there we go! ro: i'm just gonna line it on this side of the pan, closest to us. ro: you can do it jake! ro: jake! jake! jake is great! jake: it's like when i delivered that baby! ro: jake's also a mid-wife, so if you need his services, hit him up, his email's down below. jake: ohhhh yeah! ro: i'll put it in the links. oh my gosh it's a baby girl! jake: and then you're done! ro: ok. ro: are the fingers cold? yes! jake: oh yeah! ro: does it smell delicious? yes! jake: yeah! ro: we got our first row of ice cream in here, and i've smoothed it out, with a spatula.
ro: and now, before we put our divider in, i am just going to wipe the tray, really quick. ro: so that the strawberry ice cream won't touch our vanilla. jake: so once it's looking all nice and clean we are going to add 1 of our acetate strips. jake: just 1! ro: just 1... jake: there we go! jake: so we throw that on and divide it. ro: here we go! ro: quick tip, change your gloves in between becasue otherwise you'll have strawberry on them. ro: and we don't want it to touch the vanilla. you want the colors to look separate. jake: sounds like ice cream segregation. ro: it is, but then they come together! jake: yes they do! ro: take a handful here jake! you spread it out, i'll scoop 'em!
ro: quick jake, line 'em up! you went ham last time, so i'm gonna do it now. ro: i'm gonna do it now! jake: oh yeah! ro: hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah! jake: let me know if you need to tap out. ro: nope-no-no i got it! i got it! jake: oooh you did it! ro: i got it! i got it! i got it! ro: i got it, i got it, i got it! jake: oh yeah! ro: yes-yes-yes-yes! yes-yes! jake: woooooo! ro: yes-yes! my dog will eat it, don't worry about it! jake: so we are going to smooth this out, then we are going to do it 2 more times. jake: 1 more strip of strawberry and then 1 more strip of vanilla. with no beans! ro: that's right!
jake: all of our ice cream is now arranged in the pan. ro: mmmhmmm. jake: so we can remove our acetate strips. ro: ok, i'm gonna pull down, you pull up. jake: you want me to pull this? ro: yeah we'll both do it, 1, 2, 3! ro: heraaggghhhhh! jake: beragggggghhhhhh! rooh! ro: oh, that was good, that was good! jake: ok. ro: ok, 1, 2, 3 and up! ro: alright, next 1! jake: 2 more to go, here we go,! ro: 1, 2, 3. and up! jake: woops! ro: oh, ok, 1, 2, 3... up, out of there! get out of there! jake: get out of there demon! out! out devil! out!
ro: we'd be great at doing that as well! jake: we would! ro: yeah, pull him out! jake: ohhhh yeah! ro: coming out! jake: ohhhh yeah! jake: and that's how you get rid of acetate! ro: and this is what your ice cream tray should look like. ro: now we're gonna pop them in the freezer for a little bit to harden. jake: the ice cream is nice and firm now, so, uh, let's flip it on the cutting board. ro: ok, you guys we're gonna work quickly because ice cream melts. ro: we've wrapped our cutting board in plastic wrap, and now i'm just placing it on top of our ice cream. ro: and now we're gonna do the big flip. jake: whew, ok. ro: when i flip, you flip, we flip!
ro: teamwork! teamwork, teamwork, teamwork! jake: ohhh! ro: pick up the pan. jake: whooo, woooooo! ro: ohhh, there we go! there we go! jake: ooh-hoo-hoo! ro: moving quickly, take off the plastic. jake: using our warm bowl of water with a cat cookie cutter, jake: we are going to cut out our cookie... ice cream cats.... ro: just remember when you're cutting out your cookie ice creams, you want to have the strawberry on the right. ro: straight down, straight down, straight down! ro: i can't, get, wait, it won't go down in there! jake: oops! ro: it's just like... jake: curse this strength!
ro: we're just gonna use a little spatula, there we go! jake: ohhhhhh! jake: look at that! jake: whoa! ro: here jake. hold this! jake: thank you, this is all i've ever wanted! ro: alright, we've got it cut out, now we're gonna pop it out onto another cookie sheet ro: lined with a piece of parchment paper. jake: final step, it is time, huuuuhhhh! ro: huuaahhhhh! jake: to assemble! ro: dun-da-dun-daaaa!
