Chocolate milk is one of my kids’ favorite things to have as a treat. They have loved it since they were tiny little nuggets. Even now as teens, it's one of the first things they go for when they are looking for something as a quick snack.
A pint of my homemade chocolate syrup is always on hand for a nice cold glass of chocolate milk. We love how rich an and creamy the fairlife ultra-filtered real whole milk makes our chocolate milk. Since it's such a favorite, I decided to take our favorite treat to the next level with some homemade marshmallow cream topped off with rich chocolate shavings.

Marshmallow Cream Chocolate Milk Recipe

• 1 pint homemade chocolate syrup
• 1 quart fairlife ultra-filtered whole milk
• homemade marshmallow cream
• chocolate shavings for garnish

To assemble: Add fairlife ultra-filtered milk, homemade chocolate syrup to taste, top off with fresh homemade marshmallow cream and the finest quality chocolate shavings. 

To make chocolate shavings simply take your favorite chocolate bar and grate it using a fine tooth grater.

Homemade Marshmallow Cream Recipe

• 3 large egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 3/4 cup real corn syrup
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon the best pure vanilla extract
• pinch of sea salt (about 1/4 teaspoon)

In a stand mixer add egg whites and cream of tartar. Whip until soft peaks form and set aside. In a heavy bottom saucepan add water, corn syrup, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil then turn town to medium heat. Stir, being careful not to scrape the sides of the pan. Cook until the sugar syrup reaches the soft ball stage. Remove from heat.

Note: You can test to see if the syrup is at the soft ball stage by pouring s small amount in syrup into a bowl of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball when pressed together with fingers it's ready.

Stir the syrup until the bubbles have settled. 

Turn the stand mixer on with the egg whites in it and slowly add the sugar syrup. Whip until the mixture becomes smooth; about 5 minutes. Then add in vanilla extract. Your marshmallow fluff is now ready to serve. Enjoy!

Raspberries always remind me of summertime. My grandma Bohman always had raspberries in her back yard. Her neighbor down the road had a pick-your-own raspberry patch. I use to go down and eat as many raspberries as I picked. Grandma always had fresh homemade raspberry jam made from those delicious raspberries.

Bananas are the natural sweetener so there is no need to add sugar. You can even eat them for a healthy breakfast on the go. Kids will love them. I love them. Having a party and want to serve a refreshing treat? These yogurt popsicles would be so lovely lined up on the table. Enjoy!
