Snowy White Delight
What you need:
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and hot water. Heat in the microwave until sugar is dissolved, about 30 secs. Cool for a few minutes then add evaporated milk and almond extract to the bowl.
Pour the mixture in a large bowl then add the ice cream. Break the ice cream into smaller chunks using a potato masher. Stir in the 7UP slowly. Mix well before spooning into serving glasses. Top each glass with whipped cream and candy sprinkles.
Salted Caramel Eggnog
What you need:
Mix together whole milk, whipping cream, cinnamon, vanilla extract and nutmeg in a saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, remove immediately once you see bubbles. Cool completely (it’s important that it doesn’t cook the egg when added).
Meanwhile, beat the eggs and sugar together until combined. Add eggs to the milk mixture then stir in caramel and sea salt, whisking until ingredients are well-combined. Pour eggnog into serving glasses and garnish with caramel and sea salt (if desired) before serving.
Candy Cane White Hot Choco
What you need:
Combine the milk, white chocolate, crushed candy canes and vanilla in a large slow cooker. Cover and cook over high heat, stirring every 10-15 minutes, for 1.5 to 2 hours.
When ready, pour hot chocolate into serving glasses, top with whipped cream and garnish with crushed candy canes.
