Barrista Chic's Specialty - The Coffee Egg Cream

Homemade Coffee Cream Soda's Top Layer Spreading Downward Naturally.

 

When I was a kid spending summers at the beach in Brooklyn, I loved ordering egg creams at the soda fountains. They had no egg and no cream. They were made wth chocolate, seltzer, and milk. Everything was very cold.

 

The semi whipped cream was colder when I slowly added it on top, so it descended a wee bit.

I like it to let it mix mix naturally. feel free to stir it if you prefer.

 

I am allowed to have homemade coffee cream sodas on the Dr. Atkins diet. Well, not really. He frowns on caffeine. This would be okay using ground decaf coffee.

 

Ingredients;

#Fresh Brewed Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts Dark Roast Coffees

#Seltzer from the fridge

#Muscle Milk 100 - Vanilla

#Homemade Semi-Whipped Heavy Cream

#Last, add ice to individual taste to make it as cold as you like while keeping the fizz.

 

Amounts vary according to the individual's taste.

 

I partially whip the cream by half filling a small bottle and shaking vigorously for about a minute. You can feel when It is whipped enough. Practice helps. Whipped or not, it is always delicious.

 

At the end, sprinkle on pumpkin pie spices: These come prepackaged or separately: cinnamon, ginger nutmeg, allspice, cloves, cardamon, and vanilla bean extract.

 

The Muscle Milk is used because it is a vitamin and protein supplement.
