Hey everybody! Welcome back to The Late Show.
Folks, my next guests tonight were contestants on the very popular cooking show MasterChef Junior.
Please welcome Corey, Remy, and Che, everybody.
Alright, uh, okay kids. You got the new book, okay?
It's MasterChef Junior Bakes.
Now shoot me straight, I am neither a MasterChef nor am I a Junior.
Can I bake these recipes?
Yes, for everyone. You can do it.
I can do it? We shall see. We shall see.
Corey, let's start with you. What are we working on today?
I'm making some s'more whoopie pies today.
S'more whoopie pies.
Yeah, s'more whoopie pies.
Is s'more your favorite dessert?
Well, I like anything with chocolate, so.
Okay, that'll do it.
Yeah.
It's an American classic.
Yeah.
Now, is this just fluff? What are we looking at here?
Oh yeah, this is marshmallow fluff right here.
Got it.
So instead of just, you know, using some marshmallows, use some of the fluff.
It's the perfect start to a lot of recipes.
Yeah, it's amazing.
And what am I supposed to do with this?
You turn that on, actually.
All right.
Turn that on so we can blend all this together.
All right. Is that?
Yep, that'll do it.
Okay.
Yeah, so just adding some of the butter now.
Now, I understand you're no stranger to baking from a young age.
Yeah.
You actually have a cookie company.
Yes, Mr. Corey's Cookies.
Now, is this an actual?
This is not a cookie stand in your front yard.
This is an actual cookie company.
Yeah, it's a real cookie company.
We ship nationwide online.
Really?
Yeah.
Are you?
Wow.
So what do I do now?
What do I do now?
You get to blend this all together.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
I'll tell you what, Corey.
You continue to do this right now.
Okay.
I'm going to move one down the line.
Okay.
Okay, Remy, what are you doing today?
Okay, today we're going to be making some green tea matcha macarons.
I'm sorry, what?
Green tea matcha macarons.
Macarons?
Yes.
Like President of France Emmanuel Macron?
First, what we're going to do is we're going to take these ones and make a little well in the bottom.
I just push my thumb in there?
Okay, well, you're going to need a new one now.
So, okay, so I'll hold this and you'll just do the piping, right?
Okay.
So I need you to do a little circle around the macaroon.
There you go.
How important was it for me to have washed my hands before I do this?
Did I put too much on?
Well, okay.
We'll make this work.
Okay.
So then we're going to put a little bit.
I like that.
That's a good spirit to have in the kitchen, isn't it?
We can make this work?
Yeah.
Make this work?
Oh, no, I put something else inside?
Okay, so then you're going to put...
This is absolutely delicious, but the combination of these colors make it look like a gangrenous wound.
Or Christmas.
Oh, or Christmas.
You're absolutely right.
I apologize, Remy.
I apologize.
Do you forgive me?
Yes.
Thank you.
So now we have our green tea matcha macaroon with a strawberry coulis in the center.
And...
Shall we compare?
Thank you very much.
Okay, what do you got down here?
Okay, so I have a chocolate olive oil cake.
An olive oil cake?
Chocolate olive oil cake.
Okay.
Yeah, so it has olive oil in the batter.
All right.
Hence.
Yes.
Okay.
Great.
And what else do we need to do?
Okay, so our first step, we're making the fresh ricotta cream.
We're going to add our powdered sugar.
And our ricotta cream.
You were the winner of MasterChef Junior last year, I understand.
Yep.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Okay.
Okay, so we're just going to mix all of our ingredients together.
All right.
Until they combine.
Remy, have you ever had a baking accident?
Well, once I was making butternut squash, and I didn't have any pots and pans,
so I used a tea kettle to make it, and then I left...
I'm sorry, you put a butternut squash in a tea kettle?
Well, I cut it up first, obviously.
And have yours.
Eat yours.
No, okay.
I'll keep both of them, thank you.
All right.
Sorry, Shay, let's do this thing.
Okay, so can you glaze the cake?
Can I glaze the cake?
Yeah.
Not the whole thing, not the whole thing.
Am I supposed to do anything now, or just let gravity take control?
All over the cake, yeah.
I'm choking on macron.
Do you know what...
More, more?
That's good, that's good.
More?
Do you know what really helps to get the cookie out of your throat?
What?
Saying macron.
Macron.
Okay.
What now there?
Now we're going to...
You want to just put a big dollop, make that on top of here.
Okay.
Spread it out.
Kind of like what you did with the glaze, just not as messy.
Not as messy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, the show, you know, MasterChef Junior is very successful.
I love watching cooking shows myself.
Is there a favorite baking show that you guys watch?
Hmm, I like the Great British Baking Show.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know, it's calming.
It's not like Gordon Ramsay yelling at you, you know?
It is.
Okay, do you want to taste this?
I would love to taste it.
Okay, so...
All right.
I don't know if I should be giving you the knife, but...
Okay.
You should wash your hands.
Well, everybody...
Dude, we can't use that.
What?
Your blood in it.
I'm the only one eating this.
Use this.
Okay.
Obviously, I didn't actually just cut myself.
I'm joking.
No, he's not.
No.
I'm feeling woozy.
The book is MasterChef Junior Bakes.
It's available now.
Corey, Remy, and Che, everybody.
