Do You Want To Build A Snowman? =)
I have seen this picture on pinterest and thought it so cute. I also was able to use my currently favorite Minnie Mouse cup which has exactly the right size for it. You can use any kind of winter drink that would taste good with marshmallows, but make sure that the cup is not too small and that the drink is a little creamy so that the snowman will not sink :)
Ingredients
- 0.3 l milk
- 0.1 l vanilla milk
- 0.25 heavy cream
- 1.5 tbsp nesquick hot chocolate powder
- 1 tbsp chocolate flakes
- 3 large marshmallows (or a few more to try out)
- 4 pretzel sticks (as arms/legs)
- 1 candy corn or sour worm (or similar for the nose)
- chocolate sauce (or nutella to paint the face)
Prepare:
- Prepare the snowman before you heat up the milk as it takes some time. Use one pretzel stick to join two big marshmallows (the body). Then stick to short pretzel sticks in the bottom part of the body as legs, and two short sticks on the side of the top body part as arms. Paint three little spots on the body with the chocolate sauce or nutella as buttons of the snowman. Then prepare the head. Stick the candy corn or similar in the marshmallow head and paint two eyes and a mouth with the chocolate sauce.
- Pour the milk and vanilla milk in a large cup. Add the chocolate poweder to the milk mix and stir. heat up in the microwave for 2 minutes, but don't boil. Whip the cream till stiff. Fold it under the warm milk. The cream will make the surface of the drink stiffer, so that the snowman will swim on it and not sink. Sprinkle with chocolate flakes.
- Now, carefully place the body of the snowman in the milk. Add the head so, that it rests on the edge of the cup. Enjoy :)
