It is a super cold yucky morning here in Illinois. I am starting to get cabin fever. (ok, I HAVE had it for some time now.) I was in need of creating something new & something that makes me feel all warm inside. What better "comfort food" than a S'mores?! Problem is, it is too cold to go outside & build a fire & toast marshmallows. Not to mention my fire pit is buried in snow. You get the picture.
So, I decided to pull out my goodies I have on hand in my cabinet & grabbed a pencil & notepad & started creating....... wait for it...... S'mores creamer! Yay!! I accidentally learned a tasty S'mores hot chocolate as well in my trying to create this. Here is what you need:
S'mores Creamer
1 1/2C heavy cream (I only had milk, this is how I accidentally discovered the hot chocolate)
1/2C Chocolate Chips. ( I prefer milk choc.)
1/2C marshmallow cream
1/4C corn syrup (this sweetens the creamer and is optional)
4TBS Biscoff Spread
Over low heat, warm heavy cream (or milk) in pot until bubbling. Not boiling. Put all the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Pour warmed milk over, cover & let sit for 5min. Stir or whisk together until well combined. Keep in air tight container in fridge. Enjoy!
I'm telling you this stuff is amazing. I had to play with it to get the measurements that I did. I started with half the amounts of the ingredients (other than the milk) and it just wasn't enough for a creamer. Also, I hadn't added the corn syrup at first so it wasn't sweet enough for a creamer to me. So, that's how I came up with the S'mores hot chocolate. Here is the recipe for that. it makes I would guess 2-3 mugs of hot chocolate.
S'mores Hot Chocolate
1 1/2C milk
1/4C Chocolate Chips
1//4C Marshmallow Cream
2TBS Biscoff Spread
Warm milk over low heat in a pot until bubbling. (not boiling) Put all remaining ingredients in a bowl, pour warm milk over, cover & let sit for 5min. Whisk together & pour up in mugs. YUMMY!
There you have it. You can thank me later. Until you get so addicted your scale hates you. I am sure it isn't healthy. But it tastes so good!
Here's to another cup of S'mores Latte! Yummy!
