Ingredients

Cereal Milk

8 ounces Hiland Dairy Milk (1 cup)

1 cup Lucky Charms Cereal

12 shots espresso (or 8 ounces cold brew or regular coffee)

Spoonful of Marshmallow Creme

Ice

Cold Foam

¾  cup Hiland heavy cream or half & half

1/2 cup Lucky Charms Marshmallows

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Instructions

 

  1. Cereal Milk– In a jar or glass, add the 1 cup of milk and 1 cup Lucky charms cereal. Mix together until cereal is coated then seal with lid or saran wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

  2. Cold Foam– In a jar or glass, add the 3/4 cup heavy cream or half & half with 1/2 cup Lucky Charms Marshmallows. Mix together until marshmallows are coated then seal with lid or saran wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

  3. To assemble Latte- In a small glass, place a spoonful of Marshmallow Creme/Fluff in the glass. Brew 1-2 shots of espresso (or coffee of choice) over the marshmallow creme. Set aside to cool slightly.

  4. Strain the milk/cereal mixture so you are just left with the yummy milk. Do the same for the heavy cream mixture.

  5. In a separate glass, fill with ice. Pour ¼- ½ cup cup of the cereal milk over the ice. Next, pour the espresso over the milk.

  6. Cold foam– in a small glass, add ¼ cup cereal milk heavy cream plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use a handheld frother to mix until the cold foam is thicker and frothy. (you can also use a standard frother)

  7. Gently pour the cold foam over the latte. Top with extra Lucky Charms Marshmallows. Grab a straw, stir just a bit and enjoy!

Notes

 

  • Soak longer for a stronger flavor. Overnight gives the deepest cereal flavor.

  • Adjust espresso to taste. Two shots per latte is perfect for me, but add more or less for whatever you love

  • Make it hot. Warm the cereal milk gently before adding espresso and foam.

  • Strain well. Use a fine mesh strainer so you don’t get soggy cereal bits in your latte.
