Snowman Mocha Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a hot-glue gun.
• Glue 3 buttons down the front of 4 pint-size (16-ounce) mason jars. Cut 4 strips of red or green felt, each 1 1/4 inches by 18 inches. Snip fringe into the ends of the felt with scissors. Wrap a felt scarf around the neck of each jar.
• Put the milk, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice and banana in a blender and blend on high speed until the banana liquifies and the drink is thick and creamy. Pour into the decorated jars and mound whipped cream on top of each drink so it's taller than the rim. Grate more nutmeg on top. Insert a straw and sprinkle confectioners' sugar snow over everything.

Steps:

• First, pour both espresso shots into the bottom of a cup. Add chocolate sauce and mix well. Add steamed milk until cup is 3/4 full, holding back foam. Top off with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a blender. Whisk the milk, heavy cream, egg yolks, sugar, espresso powder and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the spatula and almost boiling, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Immediately pour the milk mixture over the chocolate in the blender. Cover and hold the lid down with a thick kitchen towel; blend until combined and smooth, stopping to scrape down the blender as needed. Divide the chocolate mixture among eight 4-ounce ramekins. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours. Top with chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans.
