Curl up this fall with this delicious Pumpkin flavored adult non-alcoholic hot chocolate. Pumpkin Spiced Iced Cocoa with Roasted Marshmallow Creme.
Pumpkin Spiced Iced Cocoa with Roasted Marshmallows
Imagine curling up with a warm cup of cocoa. This is a typical thing to do during winter, but what about fall?
Since it’s the everything pumpkin season, it’s only right to try to put together a pumpkin-related hot cocoa, right?
Right!
I emptied a package of cocoa mix into a saucepan, added a cup of the Pumpkin Spice Latte over med-high heat, and, using a wire whisk, combined cocoa with the taste of pumpkin.
I grabbed one of my favorite Starbucks coffee mugs, smeared the inside wall with a dollop of salted caramel sauce, and then repeated the process with a smear of dark chocolate fudge.
I poured the pumpkin spice latte cocoa into a cocktail shaker and filled it with crushed ice.
I secured the lid and gave it a good shake for about 30 seconds.
I poured it into the caramel, dark chocolate fudge-smeared mug and my heart just about gave out.
Finally, I laid on a thick layer of marshmallow creme to top it off.
But wait, there’s more!
You gotta give it a toasty vibe, right? So, I put it into the oven on high broil, and when it was glowing red-hot slid the iced pumpkin latte cocoa into the oven and let the marshmallow creme get an even golden brown.
And there you have it. In the end, this impulse purchase came out much better than expected.
Well, after coming up with our Pumpkin Spiced & Iced Cocoa with Roasted Marshmallow Creme recipe, it’s safe to say I’m diggin’ the pumpkin bandwagon.
Verdict: I’m not saying all things pumpkin all the time, but all things pumpkin combined with hot chocolate, salted caramel, dark chocolate smeared fudge, and toasted marshmallow ain’t half bad.
