[English]

Hey folks its Barry welcome to my virgin kitchen.

Today we are trying this whole new thing that is in trend the whole flowering thing in in

hot chocolate and it Im not going to tell you if it worked or not.

But it is the most intense thing I have ever done apart from child birth which I was just

partly involved in I didnt really get involved in it.

But I want you to try this ok this is how I got on the story begins now.

Yes the story begins by making our home made marshmallow.

First up we are going to get a pan and add in there caster sugar golden syrup you could

always use corn syrup and water.

Add that into the pan a little stir and over a flame you are going to bring it up to heat

and that thing is going to get super hot.

So hot in fact that you are going to need a temperature thermometer thing.

It needs to go up to between 120 to 130 degrees C and I was having problems with mine it kept

falling in the pan which is super dangerous.

But do that very very carefully.

Meanwhile what you can do is dissolve some gelatine powder in a bowl of water.

Now thats going to go over a pan of water it is not going to simmer but it is just going

to keep warm ok.

It will go to this weird pulpy texture but that will help firm up are mixture.

so right now you should have two pans on the go one for your super hot syrupy thing and

the other for the gelatine.

Once it reaches the right temperature carefully remove the syrup from the heat and add in

the gelatine mixture which if I am honest does actually smell of hooves.

I have a story about Bryan Adams marshmallows vegetarian gelatine I might just turn vegetarian

on the bases of that smell alone.

Whisk it through until it all combines and just leave it to one side.

In a separate bowl to one side you are going to get two egg whites and just whip away with

your electric whisk until stiff peaks form.

Like mountainous egg white peaks.

Now you dont need to let this cool down in anyway once you have got those stiff peaks

add in that hot syrup mixture gradually as you whisk it through now keep it whisking

on really low cos you dont want like hot meringuey syrup splattering all over your face.

That would not be good.

But keep going and you want to whisk this now for a good ten minutes and it will start

to stiffen up.

And when I say ten minutes I actually mean ten minutes.

As it cools down it will really go thick and you can finally add in a little bit of vanilla

extract and give it one more blast.

In fact another good five ten minutes you want it super super thick.

Actually it was taking so long that Mrs Barry helped me with the whipping and she also noticed

the smell.

It is pretty bad which is why the vanilla extract does go in there.

So in to a baking tray that has been lined with cornflour and icing sugar which comes

in really handy later in trust me on this.

We just pour in that marshmallow mixture.

Spread it all out I then let it go straight in to the fridge.

Which if you are patience you shouldnt do you should just let it overnight but I was

in a bit of a rush.

I want to do this so in the fridge for a good hour and it firmed up a treat.

So the marshmallow gets actually held by a little chocolate case thing.

There was a few ideas that I had with this.

I had a smaller cookie cutter which I lined and was going to add chocolate in there.

I mulled over using half a kinder egg I think I just really wanted the toy for that.

But in the end I did go for the smaller cookie cutter.

Lined it with some baking parchment and just lifted chocolate all up.

After letting it set you would kind of have hopefully this little holder thing.

And we will see how that goes in a minute.

Dust your cookie cutter about the size of your mug with icing sugar and cornflour that

will make sure it cuts in to the marshmallow nice and neat and gently lifting out placing

on to a board.

Now I realised mine was a little too thick it was more like a McDonalds sort of burger

patty thing.

So I used a bread knife to half it and get a lot more thinner sized amount otherwise

it would of just gone *blows a raspberry* titanic style.

Actually I did at one point try rolling marshmallow to thin it out with a rolling pin dont try

that.

That doesnt work.

So I began trying to make my flower shape and what Ive realised is I am awful at making

flowers.

If you can get a flower sized cookie cutter this will be so easy.

But I ended up hacking up quite a lot and making all these weird limey kind of animals

which were just really bizarre.

I did get one which I was like ok this is doable so I decided to proceed to see if we

could get this to work.

So I got my chocolate out of the mould which did work relatively well but it was a tini

bit too narrow for my mallow.

So on my website I am going to put a full description of how I have done this to try

and make it easier for you guys.

But I did sit it in some hot chocolate and it melted and then it looked horrendous.

Mrs Barry was to one side going no it will be alright but no that went pants.

I thought all was lost but then I realised I had one more marshmallow patty left and

managed to make an awesome well it is an ok looking star.

So normally what you would do is make a flower and then you could put something in the middle.

But at this point I was like look I am going to make a star and let you guys make it look

awesome.

So I made a slightly wider chocolate mould this time shoved it in a new hot chocolate

and well here is my reaction.

Come on now dont let me down huh yes get in there whoo haha wow holy *beep*.

Language sorry haha.

I cannot tell you how relieved I am right now but in other news that is probably the

worst hot chocolate we have ever made we did it in a bit of a rush yes.

Yep that is right I cannot tell you how excited I was.

I literally screamed and swore which I hardly ever do.

Check that out I haven�t drank it yet.

It is not the best hot chocolate in the world we kind of rushed it to keep it hot.

But hey it worked now it is my turn done it is your turn now I want to see you guys have

a go.

I want to se more flower ones if you have a go at this send me a picture on Instagram

Twiter all that stuff @myvirginkitchen na d give it a go.

Um I am a little bit more subdued today cos I was kind of nervous but give it a go folks.

Dont forget to subscribe for regular videos and I will see you next time.
