We added marshmallow creme to make this exotic mocha drink especially rich. For an even lighter version, substitute a calorie-free sweetener, such as Splenda, in place of regular granulated sugar. Ingredients:
2 cups 1% low-fat milk |
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa |
3 tablespoons sugar |
2 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules |
1/2 cup marshmallow creme |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Combine milk and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer (do not boil). Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature. Discard cinnamon stick.
2. Combine cocoa, sugar, and coffee granules in a small bowl; stir well. Add cocoa mixture to milk mixture in pan, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Stir in marshmallow creme. Cook mixture over medium heat 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly with a whisk. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 1 minute, stirring vigorously with a whisk to froth mixture. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour into mugs.
