Egg nog, Hazelnut Frappe Recipe

by

Place all ingredients into the blender and blend for at least 30 seconds. You’ll want to make sure you blend long enough that there are no ice chunks left. That’s one thing I can’t stand is when my blended drink ends up have  chunks of ice in it! Pour into your 16oz glass, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg and Enjoy!

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte-With Real Pumpkin!

by


Real Pumpkin Spice Latte

It’s that time of year…. Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin! Fall is in the air and pumpkin spice is on the brain lol. Our garden is producing some nice big pumpkins, so I thought I would take advantage and cook some of it up, puree it and use it for desserts and of course, pumpkin spice lattes!

I LOVE making my own coffee drinks at home. I can make them exactly how I want, and they don’t cost as much as buying from the coffee shop every day. So many people spend $3-$4 per day driving through the espresso stand or coffee shop, so making your own is an easy way to save some money.

This pumpkin spice latte is so delicious and it’s made using real pumpkin straight from our garden here at Ankeny Hill Farm.  You can even make it low carb/sugar free/ keto friendly by using your own favorite sweetener instead of sugar. Of course, you can also make it low fat by using low fat milk instead of the cream!

Let’s get started on our pumpkin spice latte (with the added cream it could also be considered a pumpkin spice breve)

Real Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

First either make your own pumpkin puree, or use canned puree (plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling).

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 4-5tbls Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-5 tbls. sugar (or your favorite sweetener to make it low carb/sugar free/keto friendly)
  • 1/2 cup fresh brewed coffee or 2 shots of espresso

*You can also substitute the milk and heavy cream with just 1 1/2 cups of half and half

Here is a picture of most of the ingredients. I realized afterwards I forgot to include the sugar and coffee! lol Anyway, that milk that I am using is fresh goats milk from my dairy goat. I LOVE fresh goat milk 😀

We also have the heavy whipping cream of course, the fresh pumpkin puree and Danncy Vanilla extract that my mom brought back from Mexico. Some reviews on Amazon say this is very watered down vanilla, but I don’t know, I think it tastes great!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Ingredients

 

And if you are wanting to try a great alternative to sugar, I would suggest Monk Fruit sweetener. I don’t like Stevia or most sweeteners, but I recently bought some Monk Fruit sweetener at the recommendation from a friend and it’s pretty good! I still won’t totally replace sugar with it, but I don’t mind using it in my coffee and tea and a few other things now and then. It has a much better flavor than Stevia and Splenda.

Monk Fruit Sweetener

 

Ok, so first add the milk and heavy whipping cream to a small cooking pot….

Pouring 1 cup Fresh Goad Milk

 

Then the pumpkin puree….

Add Pumpkin Puree

 

Sugar….

Add sugar

 

Vanilla and Pumpkin Pie Spice…..

Add pumpkin pie spice and vanilla

 

Heat pot on medium heat stirring constantly so the milk doesn’t scorch on the bottom. You can also go ahead and give it a taste to see if you need to add more pumpkin puree. I did on this one which brought it to 5 tablespoons lol. You might be able to get away with less if you use an actual pumpkin pie type pumpkin. They are smaller, sweeter pumpkins. I used a large carving type pumpkin, but the flavor was still pretty good, just probably not as sweet.

Add more pumpkin puree if needed

 

Once the pumpkin spice milk mixture is hot enough for you, go ahead and pour your coffee into a 20oz cup…

Pour coffee for pumpkin spice latte

 

And last finish off your pumpkin spice latte by pouring the milk, pumpkin and spices mixture into your cup. Taste it and adjust sugar if needed, but it should be perfect!

Add some whipped cream if you like, and enjoy on a crisp, cool, autumn morning!

Peanut Butter M&M Frappuccino Recipe

by

Peanut Butter M&M Frappuccino

Peanut butter m&ms are one of my absolute favorite candies! I buy one of those big bags, because, well, the small bag would be gone in one bite! The problem is, I end up eating most of the bag by myself, usually in one day and then I end up with a stomach that is not real happy with me. So, I don’t buy them very often!

Well, as you may know from my other posts, I LOVE frappuccinos (or blended coffee/espresso drinks). So I had these peanut butter m&ms and thought that sounded like a wonderful frappuccino.

So here it is. Yum Yum Yum!

Peanut Butter M&M Frappuccino

Ingredients

  • 9 ice cubes
  • 1/3 cup coffee or 2 shots of espresso (use cold coffee/espresso or see instructions below on how to cool it off before adding to the blender)
  • 1/4 cup vanilla syrup. If you don’t have a United Grocers or Cash and Carry near you, you can still get a pretty good deal on Amazon buying the Torani Variety Pack
  • 1tbls Chocolate powder. I like to use Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate
  • 1/3 cup Peanut butter m&m’s
  • 1/3 cup half and half or milk (half and half makes frappuccinos even more delicious!)
  1. Put ice cubes in the blender.
  2. Add the Vanilla syrup, chocolate powder and M&Ms.
  3. Add the coffee/espresso shots. If your using fresh hot coffee/shots, make sure you mix some of the cold milk/half and half with it and then plop an ice cube in to cool it down the rest of the way before pouring the coffee into the blender. You want to melt the ice as little as possible!
  4. Add  the half and half/milk.
  5. Blend for 30 seconds or more.

Enjoy your delicious PB M&M frappuccino!

Super Easy Hazelnut Mocha Recipe!

by


Okay, so I was doing some experimenting. I happened to have some chocolate milk I had bought from the store. I also had some International Delights Hazelnut Creamer that my mom sent home with me at Christmas. I never used to use my little 4 cup coffee maker unless my parents came over or other company, but a couple months ago I bought a bag of coffee beans from Costco, and I make a pot of coffee and make myself a mocha or 2 a day at times. What I don’t use from the pot, I just stick in the fridge for the next day or two.

So anyway, I though “why not try using the chocolate milk for the mocha and add some hazelnut creamer to make myself a hazelnut mocha?

Well, I tried it, and I was hooked! You don’t even have to heat it up if you don’t want to! Just add some ice and you’ve got an iced hazelnut Mocha.

So on to the recipe….

I used 1 cup store brand chocolate milk (Fred Meyer) but I imagine it would taste even better with Darigold or something like that.

Pouring 1 cup of Chocolate Milk

1/4-1/3 cup fresh brewed coffee. You can keep the leftover coffee in the fridge to use later for an cold/iced mocha or heat it up again for a hot mocha.

Pouring the Coffee for the mocha

1/4 cup International Delight Hazelnut Liquid Creamer (non-dairy creamer). I also tried the Hazelnut Darigold Creamer made with real half and half, but I liked the International Delights better (Coffee-mate Coffee Creamer tastes great too.). It was a bit more of a sweet hazelnut, where the Darigold creamer was not that sweet and more of a “nutty” flavor.

*Please note, the links above are affiliate links to Amazon.com which I highly recommend if you don’t have a store nearby where you can buy these. Otherwise, I’m sure you can find these creamers or similar ones at any grocery store 🙂

Pouring in 1/4 cup of Hazelnut Creamer

1/4-1/2 cup of non fat milk to top it off. I did this so that it wouldn’t be too sweet with the chocolate milk and creamer. I used just 1/4 cup and it was just right for me, but some may want to lighten it up even more with more non fat milk.

Now you can put the whole thing in the microwave for 2 minutes more or less depending on your microwave if you want a hot hazelnut mocha and your done! (You may want pour the coffee in after you’ve microwaved the other ingredients together).

Iced Mocha: Simply use a bigger cup to accomodate the ice, follow the directions above and add 5 or 6 ice cubes.

Cold Mocha, no ice: Use refrigerated coffee instead of freshly brewed.

Delicious, Easy, Hazelnut Mocha!

Iced Mocha Recipe-How to Make an Iced Mocha

by

 Iced Mocha RecipeA delicious iced mocha recipe for you! Try it, I’m pretty sure you’ll love it! You can also try this mocha frappuccino if you’d like a blended version.

This iced mocha recipe is not “blended”, but iced. So you do not need a blender, just whole or crushed ice! It is very quick and easy. Add whipped cream on top and you’re all set!

For the cocoa powder, I use Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate and I love it. They also have an unsweetened version. You can use Hershey’s chocolate too if you prefer or if you don’t have any cocoa on hand.

Also try adding a little vanilla extract for added flavor!

Amazing Greens Iced Mocha

by


Green Iced Mocha Recipe

I’ve been buying Amazing Grass Green Superfood off Amazon for a couple years now. I’ll be honest, I’m not going to say that I can necessarily feel a difference when I’m using it, BUT I feel a little better knowing I’m getting a little extra healthy greens in my diet on a regular basis that I might not otherwise. I do not recommend drinking it by itself…. tastes like alfalfa with a bit of flavor lol but mix it with some Zippfizz (there is a Berry Flavor Amazing Grass), SlimFast (or other health drink/smoothie), or a mocha and it blends pretty well.

Today I will show you a very simple recipe for mixing with a, mostly, healthy iced mocha. I am using real sugar in the recipe, but you can substitute with your favorite sweetener if you like.  I realize the cream is going to give it a high fat content, but hey, you’ve got the high fat, low carb thing going on now where cream is perfectly acceptable, besides being delicious! (the sugar kind of cancels out the low carb idea, but use a natural sweetener and there you go!)

Ingredients:

16-20oz cup

1 scoop of Chocolate Amazing Grass Green Superfood (click the link to find it on Amazon. I buy the big canister to save money but they do have a smaller container)

2 tablespoons sugar (or use your favorite sweetener such as Splenda, Stevia, etc….)

1 cup ice cubes

1/3 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup hot coffee, or 2 shots of espresso

1/4 tsp Vanilla extract or imitation vanilla

Top off with water (or more coffee if you like it stronger!)

 

First, gather your ingredients while you brew your coffee.

Gather Ingredients for Amazing Grass Iced Mocha

 

Next, dump a scoop of the Amazing Grass Green Superfood, the vanilla and the sugar into your cup

Add Vanilla, Amazing Grass and Sugar to Mocha

 

Pour in your hot coffee and stir well.

Pour in the hot coffee and stir well

 

The ice cubes come next

Add the ice cubes to mocha

 

Then the cream……. YUM!

Pour heavy cream into ice/mocha mixture

 

Stir well, and top off your iced mocha if you need to with water (or more coffee!)

Stir and top off mocha with water or coffee
