When we think about marshmallows, we think about munching on some or making s'mores. But there is so much more than you can make with them.
We are starting a series of posts and videos for you to learn how to use our homemade marshmallows to make some scrumptiously delicious desserts and sweet treats. Don;t forget to watch the video on the bottom of the page!
Father's Day is just around the corner, so, we decided making some special for all the dads out there. We are showing you how to make a fun "Brunch-in-a-Mug," and incredibly beautiful and yummy milkshake.
First, let's talk about some basic (and some not so basic) ingredients that you will need to make this treat.
Basic Ingredients:
One heaping cup of vanilla ice cream
3/4 to one cup of milk (depends on how thick and rich you want your shake to be
One Mallow Box Texas-size plain gourmet marshmallow
Cup:
Chocolate to melt/dip (or frosting if you prefer)
Cheerios Cereal
Salted Caramel Sauce
Toppings:
Marshmallow Fluff
Salted Caramel bite-size gourmet marshmallows
Bacon
Wafer Roll
Hershey's squares
Mini Pancakes
Mini Donut
Maple Syrup
Sprinkles
First, you will decorate the cup or mug that you will be using, preferable a 16 oz one.
You will melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring it every 30 seconds, until it is creamy. Then you will dip the mug's rim to about one and half inches, until the top of the cup is all covered. Grab the Cheerios and decorate de mug. Put it aside to dry.
Once you are done with the mug, you will work on the shake.
Put the vanilla ice cream and the milk in the blender. Get the Texas-size gourmet marshmallow and toast it with a torch. Then, place it inside the blender together with the ice cream and milk. Turn the mixer on high and let the items mix until completely blended.
You can now get your mug and drizzle the inside with the salted caramel sauce. Your mug is now ready for the shake!
Pour the shake inside the mug leaving about one inch space for the marshmallow fluff. Spread it on top of the shake, forming a "base" for all the toppings.
Once your are done with the fluff, we will start to decorate it. Start with the largest item, which is "a handful of salted caramel gourmet marshmallow bites." Place them on top of the shake and then slightly toast them with the torch.
You can now get a small bamboo skewer and place two mini pancakes and one mini-donut. If you alternate them in the skewer it will look prettier. Get the skewer and place together with the marshmallows. Use extra marshmallows if needed.
Now the bacon, wafer roll, chocolate, maple syrup and sprinkles will seal the deal!
