How to Make Cream Cheese - Gemma's Bold Baking Basics Ep11

How to Make

Image source: http://akari-ozeki.com/images/akaritop5-2.jpg

Hi Bold Bakers! I have received hundreds of
messages asking me to show you how to make homemade cream cheese as part of Bold Baking
Basics. And ask, and you shall receive, because Im going to show you how you can easily
make it at home with just two ingredients. Were going to start out in a large heavy-bottom
saucepan. Add in full-fat milk, not low-fat, not skim, not semi-skimmed, or whateverfull-fat
milk.

The fuller the fat, the more curd you will actually get for your cream cheese, so
remember that. Its really important. And were just going to turn it on to a medium-high
heat, and we just want all of this milk to come to a simmer. While its coming to a
simmer, Im just going to stir it every so often.

You dont want to walk away and
scorch the bottom of your milk. Youll want to always be keeping an eye on it. So now
that our mix has come to a simmer, we are going to turn it down to a medium, controlled
heat. You want it to simmer away.

And here I have some lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of
lemon juice. You can also use lime juice, or a white, plain vinegar. That will work
really well. Now what we want to do is take our wooden spoon, and were just going to
stir in one tablespoon at a time.

Were going to stir it around for a minute or so.
Cream cheese is not available in all countries, and I didnt really realize that until I
started doing Bigger Bolder Baking, and the amount of people who asked for recipes for
cream cheese. So Im really happy to be able to bring this. This is the best recipe
that Ive tried. Ive tried many, and this is the best one that I found that worked.
So take a little a look here.

You see its starting to curdle? This is perfect. Were
on the right track, so were going to go in again with another tablespoon of lemon.
There you go. See that? Right there. Thats your cream cheese.

Im going to add in the
last bit of lemon and give it a stir around. Now do you see all of these lumps that have
come to the top? These are our curds, and this is our cream cheese. This is exactly
what we want. Now you can always double, triple, or quadruple this recipe if you want.

If you
want to make a lot of cream cheese, thats totally fine. Its not temperamental. It
will take multiplying no problem. So now, were just going to knock it off the heat,
and were just going to strain this liquid off.

Next youll want to separate the curds
from the whey. So you want to get yourself a nice big bowl, and then were going to
lay over a sieve, and then over that were going to lay over some cheesecloth. Now cheesecloth
can actually be found in a lot of supermarkets, but Im going to put a link on my website
of where you can buy it. Its really important.

You do need cheesecloth, because its really
fine, and it catches all the curds. Take your curds and just pour it into your cheesecloth.
Now this cream cheese is so simple. Were not looking to use active cultures or anything
like that. And also, we are just going to have to let it sit here for 15 minutes.

We
dont have to let it hang out overnight, like a lot of cream cheeses do. Were just
going to let him hang out here, let all the liquid drip away, and were going to come
back in around 15 minutes. So its been a few minutes, and all the liquid has drained
away. Now I just want to make a note.

This liquid doesnt have to be thrown away. It
actually works fantastically for marinades and for brines, because the acid in it from
the milk and the lemon that we added in will actually break down your meat really well.
So you dont have to throw that away if you dont want to. So with our curds here,
we are going to add this into our food processor. Youre probably thinking to yourself that
this doesnt look like cream cheese yet, and youre right, because it doesnt.
Thats why we have to process it and make it nice and creamy.

At this point to our curds,
youll want to add a little bit of salt to flavor it. You can also add different flavors
at this point too. Herbs, whatever you like, you can add in there. And then were just
going to pop on the lid, and then process until its nice and creamy.

So this recipe
yields you 8 ounces, or 1 cup, of cream cheese. So check the recipe that youre making,
how much you need, and then you can multiply my recipe for cream cheese. I can see its
nice and smooth. Now if you see that your cream cheese is a little bit on the thicker
side and you want to loosen it up a little bit, feel free to add in a little bit of the
liquid that we took away from the curds, or even a drop of cream, that would be lovely
too.

Now just check out that homemade cream cheese. It is incredible. This will last in
your fridge for seven days and it will be happy to live there, and you just use it as
you go in any of your Bold Baking Recipes. Just remember that the better quality milk
you use, the better quality cream cheese youll have at the end.

So just like this cream cheese,
I have lots more Bold Baking Basics recipes, like how to make buttermilk, food dye, and
food extract. So make sure you check all of those out..

I Tried Cutting My Hair Off With A Sword Like Mulan

I Tried Cutting

Image source: http://mgh-images.s3.amazonaws.com/9780073527109/6291-13-4ATPBEI1.png

- [Crissy] We've been
preparing for this moment, there's no turning back now. (Dramatic music) - [Crissy] Oh my god, that's my hair. (Mysterious music) - Hey dudes, welcome back to our labeutory. I'm Chrissy.

- And I'm Cissy. - So we were reading some of
the comments on our last video and a lot of you were saying
some pretty interesting stuff. - Like what? - One comment was so bad it
made our legal team cringe. (Dramatic music) Can you cut your hair
like Mulan from Disney with one swift sword wave? - This sounds extremely dangerous.

- So we knew we had to do it. Here's the deal, Mulan is a teen in a time when people have to fight for their country. So she's like oh shit dude, I gotta like pretend to be a guy so my dad doesn't die, because I'm a boss bitch
and I'm also really sweet. There is a pivotal scene, it's like pouring rain.

She hugs a pole, runs fulls speed with drenched hair into a pitch black room
with nothing but a curtain. She's like I'm gonna do it, right here, right now. Not with scissors, fuck scissors. Looks at herself in her sword reflection, she's like shit I would
look good with a bob.

Maybe, she didn't say that. And then be like I'm just
gonna cut it all off. And then she just like puts in a high bun and she's like bye. Wait.

- I could do it. - Dude, with a fucking sword? - But I'd look cute with a bob. - But, you might die without a bob. - Mulan.

- Alright, alright. - Mulan. - Alright, alright. (Fighting music) - Ha.

- Hi. - Hi, how's it going? - Good, who are you? - I am Master Bruce Wen from
the Shaolin Temple in China. - The movie Mulan. Can you tell us a little bit
about the Chinese history? - Mulan took place during the
Northern and Southern Dynasty.

And let me tell you how
the dynasty work, okay? If I happen to be the king
of this dynasty, right? If you wanna be the king, you gotta kill me. - Oh shit, baby. In Mulan she cuts off her hair
with a sword in one swipe. Do you think that's possible? - I think it is possible as
long as she doesn't hold back.

- Oh, so it's up to you. - As long as she has the strength. It's up to her. The person makes the weapon, not the weapon makes the person.

- This is deep, Bruce. - Yes. - I'm feeling inspired and also like I wanna kill someone at the same time. (Beep) What are all the things
that could possibly go wrong cutting your hair with a sword? - There's many possibilities.

If she done anything wrong, she could easily cut her neck, she could maybe accidentally cut her head, or if the sword falls, she could cut somebody else. (Scream) I would say it is 90% to 100% dangerous. At least. So she's putting her life at
risk for cutting her hair.

- Do you think a bob is worth it? - Yeah. (Laughs) - [Bruce] Today, we will be
learning the straight sword, which is one of the four major
weapon of the martial arts. - Cissy, ready to do this? - Let's do this. - It's very important that we don't die 'cause we only live once, right? (Dramatic music) These weapon here is the old Chinese sword that they use in Mulan.

- Cissy, hold it. Which sword should Cissy
use to cut her hair? - According to her height, (Cissy gasps) this is what we call the
double edge sword, okay? See this is pink, it's gonna turn red when there's blood. - Oh. - This one I have since
(speaking foreign language).

Means the dragon within the dragon. So the dragon within you. - Being able to recreate this moment, make Disney proud and make Mulan proud by doing this over again, is just something that dreams are made of. - We will do our best to
bring out a dragon in you.

- Yes, bitch. Love it. (Rock music) Cissy had to learn the basics of martial arts sword fighting. You know, you can't quite
learn like thousands of years worth of history in like a couple hours, but Cissy fucking killed it.

- Two, three, go. (Chop) (chop) (chop) - I was amazed that she was
able to chop the wood in half. - I couldn't help but be inspired. To see her like actually moving around in something that wasn't high heels was a really big deal for me.

- In order to chop my hair with a sword, there are several things that
I'm gonna have to accomplish. - I'd have to think
about holding out my arm, bending it at an angle so that when the sword comes
through it doesn't cut me. And then at the same time, come straight through my
hair at a 45 degree angle. So not 46, not 44, but 45's the magic number for tomorrow.

- [Bruce] That's it. You see how that works? - Tomorrow is going to
be very interesting. Because you only get one shot, baby. - Today is my last day
seeing you as Cissy.

Tomorrow, I'll be seeing
you as the legendary. You know what's the difference between a legend and legendary? - The dary? - Yes. Tomorrow you're gonna
be the legendary Mulan. It is not a matter of how do I think Cissy is gonna do tomorrow, it is a matter of how she's gonna think she's gonna do tomorrow.

- Am I just gonna kill myself? Am I gonna give myself a bad haircut? - She could accomplish the
goal of cutting her hair with a real sword if she
believes that she could do it. A warrior does not stop. Mulan does not stop. Mulan keeps on going.

I hope nobody dies in the
set theater, okay? (Chuckles) - I'm ready. Let's go.
- Yes, let's do this. - (Clap) One. (Clap) two.

(Clap) One. Two. (Clap) there you go. (Clap) Three, four.

(Clap) There you go. (Clap) - Cissy, you spent all
day training with Bruce, but today things are getting serious. - I'm like legitimately nervous. The sword is being sharpened today, it's actually going to be a weapon.

There are people all around the set just hoping I don't
kill myself on accident. - You won't, right? I know this is fucking Disney
and Disney seems chill, but this experiment, not chill at all. We have to take serious
safety precautions. I'm not fucking around, don't try this at home.

Teens, adults, babies, you can't try it either. What we're gonna do today
to make sure no one dies, we're going to have you
wear full body armor, protection around your neck, arm protection, we're not gonna cover the nails though 'cause those are cute. Also your face is out 'cause
you have to cut your hair, so you can't wear a helmet which is a precaution
that we should have taken, but we didn't, sorry. But we do have a paramedic onsite and you cannot get hurt.

We love you, we want you to be here. Ready to cut all this little hair off? - Ready as I'm ever gonna be. - Alright, let's go. - We've been preparing for this moment, it's finally here.

There's no turning back down noq. (Dramatic music) (slice) (gasp) No. That didn't happen. (Gasping) It cut some of it.

It didn't go through all of it. Oh my god, that's my hair. Holy shit. - You have half a bob.

- I have half of one? - You have literally half a bob right now. - I have half a bob. - You have half a bob. - Holy shit, I have a bob right now.

(Laughter) (rock music) (slice) (laughter) (dramatic music) (gasps) She needs to really
grip that hair tighter. - We're gonna take a smaller portion. - This is Cissy's fifth attempt. She's gonna saw the shit out of her hair.

(Sawing) - It's all gone now. (Beep) - Crissy, we kind of did it. (Crissy squeals) Oh my goodness. Okay, what's happening
here is a true diagonal.

Mulan did not look like that. Since this turned out a
little less than ideal, we have David hear to fix it, a professional hairstylist. Hey.
- Hey. - Oh my gosh.

Okay, Anne Hackaway. (Laughter) What happened here? Are you ready to be transformed into the real woman that you need to be? - Just take me with you. (David laughs) - Get the bob of your dreams. I'll just be here.

Cissy. Are you ready for the final reveal? 'Cause I know I am. Cissy, show we your finished hair. (Party music) (Chrissy gasps) You high fashion woman.

Do a spinny, do a spinny. More, more spinnies. What did we learn from this? Animation isn't real. You gotta sit there and saw that shit off.

It also will look diagonal and really bad. Let's go take hot pics off your hair. - Yes.  Who is that girl I see   Staring straight  - (laughs) We ruined it.

Who I am inside  - Nothing's in there. - Just a bunch of bones..

Homemade Ice Cream in 5 Minutes

Homemade Ice Cream in 5 Minutes

Image source: http://wonkywonderful.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Buttercream-Frosting-Recipe-77.jpg

("Dio e Zinargo" by La
Municipale Balcania) - Hi, I'm Jerry James Stone, and you're watching Cooking Stoned. In today's episode, I'm gonna show you how to make ice cream using ingredients you probably already have at home. It only takes five minutes,
not a whole lot of stuff, and it's really super easy,
and you get homemade ice cream. How great is that? So let's start.

The first thing you need is milk. I suggest using whole milk. You can use 1% or 2%, but you'll
get a lot of ice crystals, so it's really, I mean, if
you're gonna be eating ice cream, you just eat the fat, right? The next thing you want is cream 'cause, like I said, you want the fat. Ice cream.

It's in the name, cream, right? We're gonna do vanilla. And a half cup of sugar. And just take everything
and mix it together. You want the sugar to
be completely dissolved.

So the next thing we're
gonna do is transfer our ice cream mixture to a plastic bag. Now, I recommend using a bowl, and I recommend using
a bag that has a zipper because the zipper... Well, this bag is gonna
go inside another bag, and you really don't want it to spill. So using the bowl, just pour mixture into this bag.

("Dio e Zinargo" by La
Municipale Balcania) And now we're just gonna seal that up. Permit some of the air. So next we're gonna create
our ice cream machine, which is pretty much this
plastic bag filled with ice. So just go ahead and add in a few ice cubes to get it started.

("Dio e Zinargo" by La
Municipale Balcania) Then we're gonna add a
half cup of rock salt. Now, you don't need rock salt. You can actually just
use any kind of salt, but the salt is important, so you wanna make sure you have it. This is what's gonna help
bring the temperature down.

So go ahead and take the smaller bag and put it inside your ice cream maker, which is just another plastic bag. And from there, we're gonna
add in the remaining ice. ("Dio e Zinargo" by La
Municipale Balcania) Trying to cover it on both sides. I recommend wrapping this in a towel because it gets cold 'cause ice cream.

So take the bag. Wrap it up, and then we're
gonna shake the heck out of it for about five minutes or so. You can do it less if you
want it to be more like soft serve, or you can do it more. It's up to you.

(Ice cubes rattle) Okay, so we shook that for five minutes. And now we're gonna remove
our bag of ice cream. As you can see, it's a lot firmer than it
was when I put it in there. Inside we have our makeshift ice cream, which I'm then gonna scoop out.

The great thing about this is you can make any ice cream you want. You can make strawberry ice
cream, chocolate ice cream. It's all at your fingertips
any time you want it. Or you can just put your
favorite toppings on.

("Dio e Zinargo" by La
Municipale Balcania) There you go. (Hip hop instrumental music).

I Straightened My Curly Hair For The First Time

I Straightened My Curly Hair For The First Time

Image source: http://www.blackhairinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/How-To-Straighten-Thick-Natural-Black-Hair-Without-Heat-Damage.png

(Upbeat music) - I don't know if you guys noticed, but my hair has gotten
a little crazy recently. This is the biggest my
Jew fro has ever been. I mean really, it's about
to have its own Bar Mitzvah. ("Hava Nagila") But seriously, it's really annoying.

Every time my hair gets long, I don't know what to do with it. I try and wet it, I try and brush it, and no matter what, it
still looks like this. I've tried everything and
I thought, you know what? Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe my hair is not that bad.

So I'm gonna go ask my friends what they really think about my hair. - You got hair up there and sure enough, it's on your head. - It's kind of smushed right here. Is that intentional? - [Eric] No.

- It's all right, man, it's you, own it. - I kind of like it, I
think you should keep it. - I like the way that it shakes
when you speak like that. I think that just gives me something to distract me from looking at your face.

- So it seems like my hair
has a lot of mixed reviews. It's like the movie La La Land. So here's what I'm thinking. A lot of people with curly hair
get their hair straightened and it looks great, so I'm
gonna straighten my hair.

It's gonna be amazing, I'm gonna look like a sexy Game of Thrones character. Or like an intense, beautiful
viking with luscious hair. Let's go straighten my hair. I need your help, all right,
I'm straightening my hair.

- What's up?
- What do I do? - You're not asking me this. Do I look like I freaking
straighten my hair, man? Get out of here, Eric, go somewhere. Go somewhere. - Sarah?
- Oh Jesus, hey.

- I'm trying to straighten my hair. Do you think that's a good idea? - I don't think it's gonna look good. - No? - [Sarah] Hal doesn't
think it's a good idea. - I think you should just cut your hair.

- Where do I get a straightener? - (Beep) is right across the street, so they have good straighteners. Get some heat protectant spray. - So hair straightening is dangerous? - I think it will be dangerous for you but for the average
person, it's not dangerous. - I went outside, swiped
my curls, and walked in.

There was a lot of stuff in there, I was very disoriented, it was scary, I mean, just so many things. I didn't know where the
straighteners were, but at least they had some good music. (Upbeat music) I finally found the hot straighteners and they were $249. I just spend $300 at (beep) so I better look (beep)ing
amazing at the end of this video.

Bye bye, curls. All right, so I got the stuff. So the first thing I gotta do is spray this spray stuff. It's supposed to protect your hair.

I don't wanna ruin my hair, I don't want it to catch on fire. Ooh, bro wow, that is refreshing. Wow, how much do I put in? I don't know, I guess I'm just
gonna drench my hair in it. (Upbeat music) How much do I put in? My boss just said you
don't even need this stuff.

But I wanna protect my hair, whatever, I put in a little bit. Smells great, let's see. Ooh, fancy, fancy, this was
so expensive, it better work. Ba-boom.

Wow. Dude, this looks like
the future right here. It is gorgeous, though,
look at this design. Smells clean.

Nice and white ceramic. You wanna straighten you hair but you also wanna play music? There's a little on button right in here. Hal, I am, I just need help, some serious help. I'm trying to straighten my hair, and I can't even turn on
the hair straightener.

- I don't understand how you got a job. - All right, so thanks to Hal, the thing is now on and it is time for me to straighten my hair. My hair is so hot. I spent 30 minutes trying
to straighten my hair, but my curls are feisty, so I had to bring in some help.

My friend Ashley straightens
her hair every morning, so I thought she'd be good for the job. After about 45 minutes, my hair finally started to get straight. It was time for me to see my new hair. (Both laugh) Literally, I had so much
hope that I would be sexy.

I look like I'm wearing a wig. All right, let's go see what people think. Close your eyes and then I
want 100% honest feedback. - Okay.

Ooh. - Three, two, one. (Laughs) - Oh my God.
- Sorry. - What the (beep)? - Oh no.

- No? (Laughs) - It looks like you're about to get shoved into a locker, but a nice locker, a locker into Narnia. - Aw, you look like my guinea pig. - You look like a
character from Riverdale. - What's a line from Riverdale? She died.

- Doesn't he look like
Katt Williams with the-- (all laugh) - Katt Williams? - I could see it, Brenda. He really does look like Katt Williams. - I think so. - He straightened his hair, put the part straight down the middle.

Please do a side by side comparison. - [Eric] As the day went on,
my hair got pretty crazy. I think I joined a band. - I mean, I think you should just go back to the way it was before.

It looked fine, I don't know why you're doing all this stuff. - Kyle was right, so
I jumped in the shower and got my curls back. Feels so good to have my curls back. This experience taught me to just love whatever makes me different.

My curly hair, it stands out, but it's me. I'm the crazy kid with crazy hair. You should always embrace the things that make you unique, and if
you wanna try something new, don't be scared because
nothing bad's gonna happen. Maybe your friends will laugh at you, but that's just 'cause
they're being honest.

They'll never judge you, though. I'm glad I tried straight hair, but I like my curls and
I'm gonna keep them. (Upbeat music) I should probably get a haircut though..

It also makes your skin fair and prevents aging. This oil is very effective remedy for your hair. And bu using this your hair will grow up to 5 to 6 inches. But you have to use it regularly.

After that we need onion. We will grate it to extract its juice. Onion prevents hair loss and improves blood circulation because of which our hair becomes healthy. Dont worry about the smell of onion .

Just when you are washing hair just add a small amount of lemon juice in it. This will remove onion smell completely. Now we will start preparing the oil . First of all take a pan and add coconut oil in it.

Then we will add aloe vera leaves in it . Heat it for 5 to 7 minutes. Until it changes the color. When the color changes remove it and stain it.

Coconut oil brings a shine into our hair. Its also very useful to prevent split ends. Stain the oil then add onion juice into it. Mix it well.

You have to apply this oil two to three times in a week. If you use it for four to five times its a good thing. You have to massage your head and apply it from roots till the end of your hair. Massage it and then leave it in your hair from 40 minutes to two hours.

Shampoo your hair with Luke warm water. Just by using this oil for only two weeks will give you results. It will make your hair long, thick and healthy. I hope you will like my video .
