– Rub your eyes. Can you believe this beautiful drink of water that’s in Paula’s kitchen today? (small cheer) – [Paula] My friend and actress, Angie Harmon is here. And if there’s someone who loves chocolate, as much as I do, it’s Angie. – Oh, my Lord. – [Paula] So I’ve cooked up a chocolatey menu to die for. First up is my cocoa-infused chili and Angie prepares her crunchy salad

With a cocoa vinaigrette. – It’s really tasty. – I can’t wait. – [Paula] And this place is gonna erupt, y’all, with my chocolate and peanut butter volcano cake covered with a silky chocolate glaze. – Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Chocolate is a close second. – Close. – Every girl loves chocolate. Right? – I love you. – And I love you. Oh, my goodness. – Oh, my goodness. Can I just move in? – Yes, you can. – Okay. – I’ve always wanted a daughter. (laughing) – Yay! Yay! – I’m so glad you’re here, Angie. – Me, too. – And like I said, in your honor,

Today’s all about the bittersweet flavors of chocolate. – [Paula] So, Angie I thought I’d start us off with a chocolate-infused chili. You are gonna chop the garlic. – Okay. – I need about three cloves. – Okay. – I want you to de-seed jalapenos. – Thank you.

– I’m so sorry, that’s terrible to do that to your guest. But look. – You’re so right. – I’ve got some rubbers bought. (chuckling) – So, you just put those on, honey, if you can get it over that- that- that mine that you’re wearing on your hand. – Really? Okay. – Yeah. And while you’re doing that, I’m gonna chop us some onions. I found out that you live in Charlotte. – Yes, ma’am I do. – I thought you lived in LA, maybe. – I’ve got three daughters. – I know. – My little beauties. – I want to see them. Do they look like Mama?

– They do look like their Mama. – And of course, I have to tell you. I’ve been spying on that good looking man of yours, too. – Wait. Okay, look. – Yada, yada. – Aren’t they cute? – Oh, my. – Finley Faith, Avery Grace, and Emery Hope. – Oh my gosh. I love their names. – Thank you. – They’re Southern names. – Yes, they are. – I’ve been checking up on you girl. – Have you? (chuckling) – Yes.

– Do I pass the test? – Born and raised in Dallas? – Yes, ma’am. – So, you are a Southern girl. – I am indeed. – Now do you really cook Angie? – I do. And you know, I have to tell you, I learned from my grandmother, from my aunt, and from you.

– Really? – Yes, ma’am. – Now, I’ve got two pounds of ground beef that I’m gonna start browning. There’s two things that I have in common with Texas women, y’all. We… we… … we both love cast iron. – Mm-hmm. – And hair-dos. We like them high. – That’s right. – All right. – Love your hair, hold your man. – (laughing) Yes. – The higher the hair, the closer to God.

– Yes. Yes. Yes. What is your husband’s name? – Jason Sehorn. – Jason. Jason. He’s a football player. Ex? Ex? – He’s an ex, yes, ma’am. He played for the New York Giants for 10 years. – Okay. Wow. I heard that Jason proposed to you on The Tonight Show. Is that true?

– Yes, ma’am, he did. Yes. Wait, am I dicing these or am I chopping or what am I doing? – Yeah, just mince them a little. – Okay. Okay. I told Jay, I was like, “Do not ask me about my personal life.” I was not, yeah, the whole thing. – Why?

– Because, it’s just, I’m a private person. And, you know. – Oh, my gosh and I come right out and start- – No. It’s okay. – … asking all the- – I just, oddly, I feel like I could just sit here and tell you anything.

– You can, and I won’t tell a soul. I will not tell a soul. – Just not one person. You don’t know, I had no idea he was there. – So, you were sitting there on the sofa with Jay. – Yes, and Jay starts talking about this man that I’m dating. And finally he goes, “Do you think he’d come out here?”

And I was like, “What?” I was no longer the Southern lady. I was like, “I beg your pardon? No.” And then out walks Jason and- – No. – Yeah. He comes out and I remember he was shaking, and I was like, and you could hear me- – He was shaking? – Shaking.

It’s the only time I’ve ever seen him nervous. You could hear me through gritted teeth, go, “What are you doing?” – All of a sudden you turned ventriloquist. (laughing) – Like that. That’s exactly the face. And right then and there, he dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him.

And it took me 16 seconds to say yes. – Oh no, that’s a long time in TV land. – I know. I know. On bended knee. – 16? – Yes. – Oh, no. – Yeah. – Poor baby. I’m fixing to add one tablespoon, plus two teaspoons, Angie- – Okay.

– … of chili powder. – Okay. – [Paula] I’m gonna add one tablespoon of cumin. – Oh, that’s good. – Alright. So, we’re gonna stir that up. So, toss in your jalapenos, baby. Just throw them in there. And I’m gonna add two tablespoons of our cocoa.

After you’re done throwing in the ranch beans, can you add me a teaspoon of oregano? – Okay. – A half a teaspoon of red pepper. Do you like hot stuff? Yay. – I love it. – So what’s your favorite eating? – I have a big range,

But it’s usually whatever you’ve got on the show that day. Now is it everything? Is it juice and everything in there? – Yes. So, honey, while you’re dealing with the ranch beans, I’m gonna just finish chopping up this jalapeno. Then, I’m gonna need you to add one teaspoon of oregano and one teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Okay? – That looks amazing. – Yes.

All right, now. – Oh my Lord. – I want you to open that can of diced tomatoes. – Yes, ma’am. – Dump in the black beans. – Okay. – And then over here, I’ve got four cups of tomato sauce, two cups of beef broth. – Okay.

– So, I’m gonna pour all that in. – Tomatoes going in. – Yes, yes, yes, yes. Now, dear, if you could just add the black beans that we’ve rinsed and drained. You actually started out as a model, didn’t you, Angie? – I did. I did. Both my parents were models. – No! – Yes. – What did they model? – I mean, they were more, I would say print and you know, things like that, but, because also, that was a different time.

You know what I mean? It wasn’t about the supermodels. – Right. – And it wasn’t, it wasn’t such a big thing back then. – Right. That’s totally the way it was with my Uncle Bob. – Yeah. Poor Uncle Bob. – Okay. Poor uncle Bob. He had a mad affair with Carol Burnett. Angie, now we need to just let this simmer for a while. Y’all don’t go anywhere because there’s more. Guess what I’m gonna make you? – What? – I’m gonna make you a version of my volcano cake. – Oh, yay. – So, that’s where we going.

With Miss Angie. – [Paula] Coming up next. This volcano cake is brimming with peanut butter and chocolate. – Oh, yum. – Uh-huh. – [Paula] And later Angie whips up a cocoa vinaigrette for our crunchy salad. – Look at that color. Isn’t that pretty? I so hope y’all are enjoying the show. And if you do. Be sure to click like, subscribe and notification bell so you’ll never miss a video. And we’ll be right back after the break. – Well, y’all, I’m in here today with Angie Harmon, this beautiful young woman that so loves cooking. And I’m gonna make for you today, our volcano cake. And I’m gonna start with a white cake mix, because I wanted lots of contrast. When I use a cake mix, y’all,

I always switch from water to milk, because that milk’s gonna make it richer. So, that’s what I’m gonna be doing to this. – So, this is milk instead of water? – Milk, instead of water. If you’ll do that, like I said, it just makes it richer. – Okay. – Alright.

So, if you will mix two cups of confectioner’s sugar in my cream cheese, add this stick of butter, and then we’re just gonna eyeball the peanut butter. – [Angie] Okay. But I have to, I have to tell you something. – Yes. Tell me. – Clearly, I’m horrible at baking. Horrible.

Can I do it like that or do I need to flatten it? – [Paula] Yes. No. No, because we don’t care if you put too much. (chuckling) – And you want two of these? – [Paula] Yes. – Oh, there is going to be a mess, okay.

– [Paula] This cake calls for three eggs, but I always like to add an extra. – Okay, there’s two. – And I’m gonna do three fourths a cup of oil. – What’s that? – That’s a stick of butter. – I just wanted to hear you say it. – Now, that’s a girl’s best friend. – Wait, what’s that? – This is oil. – Thank you so much. Oh, I can leave now. I can just leave. – I read on the website one day, this was years ago, “Who is that old gray-headed lady with that fake southern accent?” – [Angie] There is nothing fake about that. – I said, “Fake?

Do you think I would fake this?” If I was gonna fake something, it’d be French. (laughing) – You’re just about as genuine and as wonderful as it gets. – Oui, oui, Monsieur. – What do you want me to do with this? – [Paula] Now, you can start with a heaping spoonful

Of that peanut butter, girl. We’re gonna have more peanut butter with our little chocolate and peanut butter candies. – Oh, I just love that. – [Paula] Alright, so you just mix a cake mix about two minutes. Alright. – Okay. Now wait a minute. – All right. – Wait. This could-

– So, I’m just gonna give you that. – Okay. But wait. Okay. – Wait, what? – Oh, okay. – You’re not scared of electricity are you? – No, but this thing I am. Oh, this, this is, if it goes everywhere, don’t get mad. Don’t get mad, oh, God.

– I’m not, but how could I get mad with you? – (Angie laughs) Oh, okay. – [Paula] So, we’re gonna bake this in a 13″ by 9″ by 2″, Angie. – Okay. – [Paula] And I’m gonna spray it good. – [Angie] Look, I’m kind of getting this. – Look at you go, girl.

– I’m kind of excited about this. – Turn that thing up. – Oh, really? Okay. Oh. – I can tell you don’t bake much. – I don’t, because you know why? I fear the baking, because it’s an exact science. – [Paula] It really is.

– If you mess up one small thing, it’s done. – Well, when you’re starting with a cake mix, you are lowering your chances- – [Angie] Of messing up? – [Paula] … of messing up. – [Angie] All right. – So, I just highly recommend that.

Angie, I just lined the whole bottom of our pan with the peanuts. All right, now I’m gonna stick my finger in that. – No. Okay. I would die if I hurt you. I would die, I would just die. – All right. Now, I’m gonna take your stuff. – Okay. And I keep mixing.

– Yes. You just keep a mixin’. – Okay. – [Paula] And now you taste that. And when you think it’s rich enough with the peanut butter- – Like you went to taste like the peanut butter? – … you let me know. – Oh. – Alright. – Oh, that’s good.

– You know, it doesn’t have to be real strong with peanut butter. – So, I think this is kind of perfect. – Now I’m taking these little chocolate peanut butter things. Oops, they fell in our cake, Angie. – Did they? – Yes, they did. – One accidentally fell in my mouth. – Oh my God, I love them. – Yum. I know. I’m gonna chop up a cup full to add to our mix. And what do you think we added? Like a half a cup of peanut butter? That’s what I’m thinking. – [Angie] Yes. What do you want me to do with this? – Why don’t you take it off and put it in the sink? – What? Just these? Okay. – Wait, wait, wait. – Wait here. Now, I’m going to learn how to do this from you. – All right, look ‘ee there. – Oh. – One for you. – Okay. – And one for me.

– Oh, do I have to rinse it off? Oh, okay, I’m done. – Just lick it off. So, Angie, let’s just mix in the peanut butter and the chocolate pieces. And then we can just pour the whole mixture over our nuts. – [Angie] Oh, look at that. – [Paula] Yes.

All right, now, we’re just gonna gently put that over our nuts. All right, miss. So, this is what we’re gonna do next. We’re gonna take our cream cheese and our butter. And we’re gonna just do it just like that. (whispering) So, when we cut into this cake, we’re gonna cut into clumps. Everybody’s gonna have a chunk of cream cheese.

Tell me about your show. Tell it. – Rizzoli & Isles? – I have wonderful people on my crew and on my cast. And everybody loves to laugh and have a good time. – So, let me ask you this, Angie. How do you live in Charlotte and shoot in LA?

Who tends to your children? – My husband, Jason. He is a wonderful, wonderful father. – You’re a lucky chick. (laughing) – Yes, I am. (laughing) – All right. We’re gonna put this in the oven, y’all, at 350. We’re probably gonna bake it somewhere between 35 and 45 minutes,

Until it looks like we like it. – Okay. – And then, at the end of our meal, we’re gonna put a hot chocolate glaze over this and let it just slither into those craters. – Oh, yum. – Uh-huh. – Yum. – Yes. – Can I get that for you? – Yes, darling.

We’ll be back in a minute. – [Angie] Oh, my goodness. – [Paula] It’s all about chocolate. – [Paula] Coming up next. We toss together Angie’s salad with a chocolate vinaigrette. – Love it. Love it. Love it. – [Paula] Then… – Those are just amazing. We dig into our chocolate creations.

– Oh my God, that chili is amazing. – [Paula] And later our volcano cake has a chocolate glaze overflow. – Is that not a sin? I hope y’all are enjoying the show and I want to hear from you. Tell me what recipes or videos you’d like to see me make by just leaving a short comment below. Now, let’s get back to the show, y’all. – Angie, we’ve got the volcano cake in the oven. – Yes. – We’ve got our chili ready. – Yes. – It’s all yours. – Okay. (laughing) It’s a little nerve-wracking cooking with you, but I’m okay. I’m going to do it. – No, no, no, no, no. Don’t be. I’m you’re tool.

– Good. Come move in with me. – Okay. – Yay! – Just that easy. Do I get a bedroom near the husband? Oh! – Yes. Anything, anything! – That was my evil twin that jumped up and said that. – [Angie] Okay. Okay. Well, okay. We’re going to make a crunchy salad. – [Paula] Okay. Yay.

– [Angie] And it’s going to be a cocoa vinaigrette. – Okay. Yay. – Which might sound a little, you know, but it’s good. – You know, I don’t think I’ve ever had a cocoa vinaigrette. – It’s really tasty. – I can’t wait. So, how many nuts you want chopped?

– If you could chop a cup of those almonds. – Okay a cup. – They are roasted and salted. That would be fabulous. – [Paula] Okay. – [Angie] We’re going to use four cups of arugula. – Love arugula. – Love. – Love, love, love. – Love, love, love arugula.

And then I’ve got the two celery sticks And the English cucumber. – You know, I don’t use a regular cucumber ever. I actually use pickling cucumbers. – Really? – I just love the way they taste. – [Angie] So, in the dressing over here, I’m gonna take a teaspoon- – [Paula] Yes?

– … of Dijon mustard. – Dijon. – Which I love Dijon. – [Paula] I do, too. – [Angie] Don’t you just love just cooking in the kitchen with your friends and your family? – [Paula] Yes. Yes. Do your girls get in there with you?

– They do. They’re really, really starting to get into it. They love it. And you know what? They feel invested when they help, you know? And then they’re going to like it even more. – That’s exactly right. I tell folks with chillen, if you let your kids get in there and help,

They’re so proud of their accomplishments. – And they’re not necessarily gonna fight you on it. Because I’ve got one that will fight me on anything- – [Paula] Oh, really? – [Angie] … that is not sweet. – [Paula] Really? – [Angie] Yes. I’m going to take one teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.

– [Paula] Okay. – [Angie] And then I’m just going to eyeball it, while you’re doing that. – [Paula] Okay. – [Angie] I’m going to do a fourth cup of balsamic vinegar. – A fourth of a cup of balsamic vinegar. – A fourth of a cup.

That looks like about a fourth of a cup, right? – Yeah. – And then the same with the oil. – All right, here we go. – I’m gonna do a fourth of a cup- – Okay. – … of that extra virgin oil.

– See, I just like to cut little strips out, like that? – [Angie] And make them pretty. – [Paula] So, you don’t mind? – [Angie] No. Not at all. – [Paula] But thinner. Now, do you just want them sliced or diced? – However you want to do them.

– Okay. I like to do it like you like to do it. – You tell me. – I’ll slice them and then I’ll dice them. – Then I’ll dice them. – Angie, how in the world did y’all wind up in Charlotte, North Carolina? – Oh, I love this story.

– It seems like such a far place from… – Texas or Los Angeles? – Yes. – Yes, it is. Well, Jimmy Johnson is an incredibly successful NASCAR driver. – Yes. Yes. – And he is the godfather to my third. – Uh-huh. – And his wife Chani, is the godmother to my second.

So, we went to go visit them. I was pregnant at the time with my third. And I asked my husband, I was like, “Jason, please will you just take me for a walk in this beautiful Southern place?” – Uh-huh. – And I said to him, I go, “You know, isn’t this beautiful?

Like, don’t you think you could live here?” And he kind of went like, “Well, yeah, sure. I could live here.” I had a house the next day. – [Angie] I did. Can I put the arugula in? – Yes. Yes. – That’s roughly four cups, don’t you think? – Yes. Whatever you say. – [Angie] We have the most wonderful group of friends. – All right. – See, isn’t that pretty? look at that. – Yes. It’s beautiful.

So, I’m just gonna kind of go like this with my hands, and get all that stuff mixed up like that. Tell me one more time what’s in that dressing? – We have a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a teaspoon of the unsweetened cocoa powder. – Okay. Okay. A fourth of a cup-

– [Angie] A fourth of a cup balsamic, fourth of a cup oil. You’re done. – Alright, so you’re going to dress the salad. – Dress this salad. – I’m going to dip us some chili. – [Angie] God that look. Look at that color. Isn’t that pretty? – Bon appetit! – Oh, this looks amazing. – Oh my God, the chili’s amazing. – I taste the cocoa. – You like it? – Mm-hmm. – Isn’t it interesting? The cocoa with the salt? – Mm-hmm. – And then with the balsamic. And then it just kind of plays off each other.

– My husband will love that. – You ain’t tasted nothing yet, sister. Just wait till you taste that volcano cake. Don’t go anywhere y’all. – [Paula] Coming up next. A chocolate glaze to smother our volcano cake. Then Angie and I dig in- – Oh my Lord. … to our decadent dessert. I so hope y’all are enjoying the show. And if you do. Be sure to click like, subscribe and notification bell so you’ll never miss a video. And we’ll be right back after the break. – Angie, we’re bringing it home, honey. – Okay. What’s that? – It’s cocoa. I’m being a smart aleck. – I just wanted to hear you say it. – I’m gonna put about a half a stick of butter. And then I’m gonna put a fourth of a cup of cocoa. I don’t want this too, too, too, too chocolatey. And look at our volcano cake.

See why it’s called a volcano? Because it looks like a volcano erupted in there. Alright. So we’re gonna melt that butter with our cocoa. – Okay. – We are making a chocolate glaze for that wonderful volcano cake. And I have to say that chili and that salad was so delicious.

– They were so good. Did you really like it? – Yeah, I loved it. – Yay! – So, I just need to add a little bit of milk. Alright. So what I need for you to do now… – Yes, ma’am. – Is add me a couple of cups of confectioner’s sugar. – Okay.

– While I’m stirring to get this cocoa dissolved in there. – Okay. – You know what? I’d like that other stick of butter. He looks so lonely laying there. We’ll just put him right on in there. Dump away, girl. – [Angie] Dump. – [Paula] Yum. That’s all right. That’s all right. – [Angie] Okay. That looks good. – [Paula] We’re just going to beat it, as smooth as your mother-in-law’s love, honey. – Look at that. – [Paula] Yes. So, I’m going to add a teaspoon of vanilla. – Look. Yum. – Can you drizzle faster? – Oh, look at that. – Right now we’re gonna take it from this pan, to that plate, to our pie hole. Look, look, look. Okay? Angie, when you gonna come back and bring those girls? – Tomorrow. – Yay! I want to see them. – They are going to be so jealous of all this. – Well, no, I’m sending them some of this home. – Yeah, I might have to take it.

– So, now you tell me what you honestly think. – Oh, my Lord. – I know. So, now you’ve got this down pat? – Yes, ma’am. – So you’re coming back, right? – Yes, please. – With those girls? I love you. – I love you, too. Hey, y’all, it’s Paula Deen. Now, if you enjoyed this video, be sure to like it
