Creamy Cocoaccino Recipes

CREAMY SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine corn, okra and 1 tablespoon water. Cover with damp paper towels and microwave on high setting for 7 to 8 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together milk and white sauce mix. Bring to boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to simmer and continue stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add cooked corn and okra, butter beans and chopped pimento to white sauce. Return to medium heat and heat through. Serve hot.

LOBSTER WRAP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine lobster, tomato, avocado and Caesar dressing. Mix together, adding salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Set aside. Blanch several whole chives by dropping in boiling water for 10 seconds. Slice tortillas into 1/4's with knife. Roll each tortilla quarter into a cone shape. Secure by tying blanched chive like a string around cone. Scoop lobster mixture generously into cone, filling up to top. Adorn opening of each cone with freshly chopped lettuce.

COOKIE BOUQUET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix the sugar cookie dough with the cherry extract and 1/2 to 1 cup flour to make a very firm cookie dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. It has to be very thick for the lollipop sticks to stay in once baked.
• Cut out flower shapes and insert lollipop sticks. You should get about 8 cookies, depending on the size of your cutter. Bake according to package directions (they will probably need a little longer as they will be MUCH thicker). Cool completely.
• Decorate with icings. Let the icing dry overnight.
• Place the foam in a basket or large bowl. Insert the cookies into the foam and decorate the top of the foam with Easter grass or tissue paper.

ESPRESSO TOFFEE FUDGE

Steps:

• Lightly coat 9 by 13-inch baking pan with butter-flavored cooking spray. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and espresso powder. Stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil for 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips and marshmallows until blended. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle toffee chips evenly over fudge and pat lightly. Cool until set, about 3 to 4 hours. Cut into bite-sized squares.

3-MINUTE MOCHACCINO

Steps:

• Blend milk, ice cubes, sugar, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a blender until smooth.
• Lightly coat the inside of a glass with chocolate syrup. Pour the coffee mixture into the glass. Top with whipped cream to serve.
