Ingredients: Serves 1

2 oz. of Vodka

1 oz. of Kahlua

1 oz. of heavy cream

3 drops of Ube flavoring (This is the one I like)

1 oz. of simple syrup (optional if you don’t want a strong drink)

Instructions:

In a jar with a lid, add all of your ingredients. Multiply them depending on how many people you are serving. Shake lightly and store in the refrigerator so it can get cold. I like to premix cocktails like this the day before, so I save time on prep the day of.

When you’re ready to serve, lightly shake again and serve in a glass with or without ice.

This is a simple one to serve. The movie features a close-up of the “pint” she ordered at the bar, and it’s Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. I recommend removing the seal from the ice cream before you start the movie. This allows you to serve the pint quickly.

One of the funniest scenes from the movie! Heart is meeting with Victor Melling, her beauty pageant coach, for the first time. He is shocked by her lack of decorum and says he is stuck with Dirty Harriet. He also mentions the Half Masticated Cow rolling around in her wide open trap. Hence the name of the dish!

This dish contains grilled steak, green beans, crispy fries, ketchup, and beer.

Grilled Steak:

Ingredients-

Steak (Your choice of cut)

Steak seasoning

1-2 tbsp of Butter or Bacon Grease

Instructions-

1. Prepare your steak by tenderizing both sides with a meat mallet or the back of your chef’s knife. This makes it super tender instead of tough and chewy.
2. Next, generously coat your steak with your favorite steak seasoning.
3. Melt your butter or bacon grease in a pan and cook your steak for a few minutes on each side until it’s nicely seared. If you like your steak more well done, you can finish it off in the oven at 350 degrees F for a few minutes.
4. Remove your steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board.

Crispy Fries:

You’ll need one potato chopped very finely and long. Once you have the potato chopped, you can add it to a bowl of ice water. This removes excess starch and makes the fries extra crispy. It’s an optional step, but it’s quick and easy, so I recommend it. Remove from the ice water and pat dry.

While you do this, add frying oil to a deep-frying pan. I added enough to be about half an inch tall in the pan. Keep the heat at medium-high and wait about 2-3 minutes for the oil to heat. When it’s ready for frying, add your thinly sliced potatoes to the pan. Move them around and flip them every minute so they can cook evenly. Because they are thin, they will burn quickly, so keep an eye on them.

When they become golden brown, almost chip-like, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the oil. Coat them with seasoned salt, my favorite brand is Lawry’s. You can make these in advance and leave them out for a few hours. Because they are so thin, they pretty much become potato chips.

Green Beans:

I didn’t do anything fancy with these. I just wanted quick and easy so I used frozen green beans. I drizzled some olive oil on top and sprinkled more of the steak seasoning. Then, I roasted them in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes.

Serving tips: I recommend plating the green beans and steak before you start the movie and storing them in your refrigerator. Then, when you are ready to serve, reheat the plate in the microwave. As it’s heating, open your beer. When it’s done heating, you can add the crispy potatoes and ketchup before serving.

This was another easy dish to serve! Victor has Heart on what seems to be a carrot and celery diet, and she yearns for carbs!!! When she sees a table of sandwiches setup, she hungrily grabs for a sandwich, but it’s sadly replaced by Victor with celery.

I served a thin slice of a ham sub from one of our favorite sub shops, but you can also make a sandwich for this scene. I recommend covering the sandwich with parchment paper until you are ready to serve so the bread doesn’t get soggy.

I also served carrots and celery with ranch for dipping. I recommend having all this plated before you start the film. Keep the plate in your refrigerator, and you can quickly grab it before serving.

Another easy dish! I chose to serve mini bagels to make all the food we were eating more manageable.

For the schmear, I mixed softened cream cheese, diced green onions, dried shallots, salt and garlic powder to taste.

Serving tips: I like a bagel lightly toasted, so I suggest that you lightly toast it before spreading the schmear. Do this right after serving the “Crudité All Day” so it has time to toast and cool.

Double donuts! Poor Heart just wants some carbs! I bought a variety box of donuts that had chocolate glazed and regular glazed donuts to match the ones Heart tries to smuggle. I recommend having these set up on the serving dish before the movie starts, so you can quickly serve them right before the scene.

MilkyWay Martini

Ingredients: Serves 2

4 oz of vanilla vodka

4 oz of chocolate cream liqueur (Needs to be cream based. Don’t confuse it with Crème De Cocoa, which is not cream based.)

¼ cup of water

1 tbsp of caramel syrup

Chocolate syrup to coat the glasses

Mini MilkyWay chocolates for garnish

Instructions:

In a jar with a lid, add the vodka, chocolate cream liqueur, water, and caramel. Shake well, until the caramel is completely dissolved. Store in your refrigerator. I recommend making this the day before movie night so you save time on prep and so it gets nice and cold before serving.

When it’s time to serve, quickly drizzle your chocolate syrup on your glass, making a swirl design. Shake your premixed cocktail to incorporate all the ingredients again. You can shake it with ice and strain it over your glass, but I usually don’t, to save time.

Add your mini MilkyWay garnish on top before serving. These are the cocktail picks I use during all my movie nights.

During this scene, Heart takes the pageant girls to a cool bar where there is neon paint drums that splatter paint everywhere. They are enjoying pizza, beer, and these neon tube shots. It looks so much fun!

I decided to serve pizza and neon shots to represent this scene. I planned this movie night and filmed it in a very short amount of time, so I didn’t have time to get the neon tubes delivered from Amazon. I went to several different stores and couldn’t find them, so I settled on the neon shot glasses. If I had more time, these are the ones I would have ordered because they are flat at the base.

Pizza– For the pizza, I served a frozen pizza to save time and money. I did add some shredded cheese I already had on hand to make it extra cheesy, since this scene is focused on the girls indulging. I recommend cooking your pizza before the movie starts and cutting your slices. Then, after serving the milkyway martini, put your slices in the oven at 350 degrees F to heat them up for a few minutes before serving.

Shots– For the neon shots, I served lemon drops. I feel like this is always the go to shot for girls night. At least that’s always what me and my friends order when we’re out. It’s basic but delicious, especially if you don’t like shots that taste like alcohol!

Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients: Serves 2

2 oz of vodka

1 oz lemon juice

1 oz simple syrup

Instructions:

Add all ingredients to a jar with a lid. Shake well and store in your refrigerator. I recommend making this the day before so you save time on prep and so the pre-mixed drink gets really cold. Before serving, shake again and pour into your shot glasses.

One of the funniest movie scenes of all time is William Shatner reciting Miss United States as complete chaos is unfolding on stage. It never gets old!

I decided to represent this scene by replicating the rose bouquet/ lethal weapon used to derail Heart’s attempt to take the crown. The result was raspberry pretzel roses and chocolate leaves in an ice cream cone filled with sweet cream cheese.

To make this rose bouquet, you’ll need the following:

Raspberries

Pretzel sticks

½ cup Green melting chocolate

½ tbsp of coconut oil

8 oz of Cream Cheese (softened)

1-2 cups Powdered sugar (depending how sweet you want it)

2-3 tbsp of heavy cream or milk

1 tsp of vanilla extract

Ice cream cones (I used what I already had to save money, but I recommend the waffle cones that are pointed. They will look more like a bouquet.)

How to Make:

I first started by making the roses and leaves. Have a parchment or aluminum foil covered tray ready, along with your pretzel sticks and washed raspberries. Start by melting your chocolate. Add your melting chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe container. Microwave for 30 seconds. Then stir and microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between. You have to limit the amount of heat the chocolate receives because it’s high in sugar, which causes it to burn faster.

Once it is completely melted, dip your pretzels in the chocolate, only covering half with chocolate. Immediately after, stick your raspberries on top of the wet chocolate. Lay on your tray and repeat. I made four pretzel roses per cone.

With the remaining chocolate, make leaf shapes. You can use a leaf chocolate mold for a precise leaf but I didn’t own one at the time so I just did it by hand. It does have to be perfect. Below is how my tray looked. Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes so the chocolate can harden.

While the chocolate hardens, make the sweet cream cheese filling. Add your cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract to a bowl and mix with a hand mixer. Adjust the milk quantity depending on how soft or stiff you want the cream cheese filling. I recommend it be on the stiffer side so the roses and leaves can stay put when inserted. Adjust the powdered sugar quantity depending on how sweet you want the mix. It’s not a complete science. I usually keep adding a little at a time and tasting in between until I’m happy with the result.

To assemble the bouquet, fill your cones with the cream cheese mixture. Then, stick your roses in the center of the cream cheese filled cone. Using the leftover space, add your leaves around the roses. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
