Pastry Chef Attempts To Make Gourmet Oreos | Gourmet Makes | Bon Appétit

are you over whirring it's gonna go straight into your windpipe though this is the most fun I've ever had one of these episodes hey everyone I'm Claire we're in the v8s kitchen and today we are making gourmet Oreos a lot of you requested that we attempt Oreos and I couldn't be happier because I love Oreos it's very nostalgic it's part of my childhood there's red velvet a mint mint cream jelly doughnut no no seriously today we're definitely going to be focusing on the classic which is really unbeatable two chocolate cookies sandwiched around a cream filling smell really good the diameter is four and a half centimeters and the height is a generous 1 centimeter so this Oreo in the center it's kind of ornate that leads me to believe that they're like punched out using a mold or using a stamp of some kind when you twist you can see the cream comes off on one side of the cookie and not the others that was the thing of like licking the cream off of one side which is kind of gross and I'm not going to do that so the cookie has a great snap to it it's it's very very dry the filling is pretty firm every room temperature also an indication that there's no butter in it it's truly one of the most perfect snack foods ever invented if I want this to really take me back to childhood I need milk so I like to dunk the Oreo in and leave it there for a little while to soften mmm so good and the little chaser this this definitely brings me back any Oriya that doesn't have the chocolate cookie is in trouble because I think it's the bitterness of the cocoa that helps to balance out everything I am really not looking forward to trying me jelly doughnut mint I don't just like it Carey : it has pop rocks in it it's starting to pop it's still popping hold on well I wouldn't take any of these flavors over the original Gabi how do we make a gourmet version I hesitate to say better than the original I would say we are ingredients good chocolate is it even possible to improve on it it's really just like powdered sugar flavor well I think I'm gonna start with the cookie and get that in a good place and then I can kind of play around with different combinations and different ingredients in the filling time for my favorite part besides eating them reading off the ingredients here's what is in an Oreo unbleached enriched flour the seed flour is reduced iron I Amin moderate vitamin Bible against vitamin bullets at close parenthesis ROM and or canola oil parentheses process alkaline so leavening this is baking soda and or called box of chocolate artificial also contains wheat and soy and that's it I think salt is probably gonna be very key I think that salt kind of helping to balance out the sugar okay we're gonna go over to the computer so I can do a little research and look for mold so that's a very good illustration of the pattern Oreo cookies are popular with people that have certain dietary restrictions such as vegans as the cream filling does not use any animal products oh wow there's so many different varieties lemon ice Oreos in Japan Japan gets all the best snack food flavors I love this on oh it's actually a white one cute little kid oh my god I'm gonna use a recipe as my base recipe is a very famous recipe called world peace cookies pie Dorie Greenspan who is an amazing cookbook author and Baker they have a very crumbly tender texture I think it'll be something kind of approximating the Oreo he uses cocoa all the right stuff so that's what I'm gonna start and kind of use that as a baseline for the first iteration I'm gonna take all my dry ingredients stir those together cream together the butter brown sugar and white sugar and salt incorporate all the dry ingredients roll it out into a slab chill it cut circles bake them off and we'll evaluate oh a meal try it warm I get very impatient it's black cocoa yeah I know our director tried to order a cookie stamp from Etsy that could be personalized and he tried to put my face on it then it had to be shipped from Latvia and at some point I found out yesterday at 3 o'clock that it it's not it wasn't coming tastes pretty good right it's over from our balance and has much more cocoa flavor and a saltier oh yeah see how they spread a little bit I think if I add more flour a little spread less cool I really like the way these taste ABO just tastes like I mean one option is doing a mix of regular Dutch cocoa and the black cocoa it might be more of that like chocolate flavor you know they're very good right basically nailed it alright so tomorrow I'll try again making those changes and then we'll attempt the cream filling it's day two for Oreo I feel really good I went to Michael's which is my favorite store and I found this which is food safe silicone putty for making your own mold so I'm gonna make my own I'm gonna cast the mold from the actual Oreo itself Michaels were accepting sponsorships I love your store if I may interject yeah kind of crumbly you know so here's what we do I watch the YouTube video okay it works so once you have a uniform color the team needs to roll it into a ball you press the putty onto the cookie and it should apparently pick up like good detail okay hey Chris guess what it worked look at the definition yeah look at the detail well hold on it do you think it's cheating she because like we're using Oreos to make Oreos whatever no one said there were rules hey good okay perfect so I'm going to go ahead and do the remainder and now I'll pivot to making another batch of dough for the cookies for this round I'm going to cook the water out of the butter up the flour to half cocoa powder half black cocoa include the vanilla this time that's it you can see the difference in color I'll get the rest of these in the freezer try to pop them out pretty oh my god it looks perfect right that's incredible right who knows what'll happen up for baking okay I haven't baked it yet but get a load of this you I feel like you should be more surprised Wow so yeah I mean literally you cannot tell the difference No so these are frozen I throw them just like this and then I popped half out and I'm gonna bake them and see how they fare just on their own free form and how they fare in the mold themselves okay Wow Wow Wow so I really am quite surprised at how little they spread and it lost their shape so now I'm really curious about the ones in the mold the edges aren't as sharp that's for sure definitely from a local standpoint the freeform cookies I think are better so has that nice snap actually they're so good you don't look at these waited breathless I made them yeah Chris and I made them this yeah I went to Michael's you mix up things they're good right they're so good they brown butter on them they bake gold is the salt yeah really good for every every five episodes that I like pull my hair out again what is the words a lot easier whoa that's really good chocolate levels nice yeah good yeah very happy with the cookie my task now is to make as many cookies as I can with the remaining dough so that tomorrow I can move on to the filling part rodas helping me thank God made you wrote [Music] overall I'm really happy with the way these look delicious we'll meet back here tomorrow for the filling and we're going to put together a little Oreo sandwiches all that's left to do is work on the filling I'm gonna use refined coconut oil and then I might cut it with a little bit of ghee it smells really good it smells nice and buttery I don't want it to necessarily taste a whole lot like butter so I can kind of work with these two and try to different proportions and then really just mix it with some powdered sugar I think the key is not really working it's so sweet hey um you know because there are another ingredient that I can add that will just help cut the sugar what about just cocoa butter because white chocolate is like cocoa butter and sugar with other cocoa solids taken out but just using cocoa butter so not adding sweetness great idea thanks a meal the fats are separating this is a huge mess [Music] are you picking up that InFocus it looks great actually I'm really happy with the texture here it's actually pretty good it tastes like more than just a mix of fat and powdered sugar tastes very good oh good I made a little happening you can do the turn the twist no one said at the beginning of that was part of it oh I'm worried about the milk test can I get 15 seconds on the clock so nervous my my heart my heart's beating fast 10 11 12 13 14 15 all right it didn't fall apart hmm okay I'm not worried mmm really good which ones are the real that's what that's what I'm asking you so obviously these are the higher-profile they're a little taller yeah slightly less definition try to do a twist really no I'm really nervous about the twist there's really nervous that means it definite really easy release they're like flavor-wise this is just like are you okay in a good way uh-huh yeah that's exciting it's not coffee true I feel like that was the most positive review I've listed from you in this whole process Chris is by far the toughest critic in the kitchen Brad's more binary of like you did it or you didn't do it Chris leaves all the shades of gray we might take this upstairs we're gonna go in uncharted territory for this series I believe I about oh in the filling cocoa butter thank you someone else wants to have milk for they cook the egg one Debbie needs red wine okay one floor up I think it's a perfect filling texture mm-hmm is it a good food the texture of the 50:19 this place is really hard at work you only gets one yeah these are homemade um do you like a little napkin or something leave it on the boss's desk I hadn't sort of famously doesn't even like sweet so who knows I don't even eat it fine you want to try the Oreo yes these are homemade try it try it try it [Music] Thanks I put a lot of salt which ones are real which ones are the ones you made these are all homemade are they yeah the cookie part is a little crumbly but I think you might that might improve it because one thing I don't like about Oreos is like that fun that could be like too hard mm-hmm he's a more tender yeah um Carrie do one half of an Oreo cookie it's a it's a homemade Oreo cookie yeah yeah enjoy everyone's still here in the kitchen it's 2:30 it's only Thursday we didn't have to go over a weekend I feel probably the best I've ever felt after taping one of these episodes gonna be riding high until we can do the next one and all my like confidence tanks so thanks for watching here's how you make a gourmet Oreo to make the cookies sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 a cup bread flour 3 tablespoons black cocoa 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Dutch process

It was a lot more smooth sailing than other episodes in this series. Claire deserves something like this once in a while.
