Mrs Cropley’s Egg Nog Latte!

[Horsewhisper]

Hello everyone - how about this for a winter warmer? It was pretty filling and delicious!

To make 3 lattes, I put in the blender 3 mugs of whole farm milk, 3 large egg yolks, a teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg, 4 teaspoons of maple syrup and 2 teaspoons of brown sugar. I blitzed it for about 20 seconds until all the ingredients had thoroughly blended.

I put the mixture into a saucepan, added a teaspoon of vanilla essence and very slowly for about 10 minutes brought it up to near simmer until the mixture had nicely thickened. Don’t let it bubble otherwise you’ll end up with bits of cooked egg in it! I then put in 3 shots of coffee, stirred it a bit more and popped it back in the blender to froth it up a bit. I added the squirty cream, a dusting of cinnamon and decorated with Pecan & Maple Syrup Matchmakers - which are divine! Add more coffee/sugar to suit your taste. Enjoy! Next week I’ll do something maybe a bit festive - kids have suggested a “mince pie hot chocolate” 😂🥛🥚☕️xx

Thanks CP - you could of course go dairy free with the milk? It was rather yummy! Xx

It looks and sounds it. At the moment I am still a bit sickly from the steroids but I will definitely give some of your recipes a try once it wears off xx

It looks super yummy 😋 I didn’t know maple & pecan matchmakers were even a thing - will have to get myself a box of them xx

[Horsewhisper in reply to svfarmer]

Hi SV - me neither! I was having a search for some Irish Cream Matchmakers to go with the Egg Nog Latte and found these instead! I got them from Amazon and they are rather delicious! Have a try! 🤗😘🤗

Hi KK! Great that your hubby loved this week’s Cropley Creation and hopefully you both had a giggle when impersonating Nigella!! 😂 Glad to hear my posts are keeping you warm and cosy - I do enjoy spreading a bit of cheer on these wintry days. I love my pinny - as soon as it goes on, I feel the strength of my horses (and there are 3 of them! 😄) to get me into full kitchen creative mode and the kids start to circle the kitchen like sharks 🦈 waiting for some tasty outcomes! I’m making a chocolate torte this weekend with homemade raspberry ice cream! I’ll post a pic later on ...hope you are feeling ok this week? Take good care KK, 🤗😘🤗🙏👍
