Hi and a huge Halloween welcome to Steve's kitchen, we're about to kick back
with a delicious pumpkin spice latte. Now I've compiled five delicious drinks from
Steve's kitchen so you can choose the beverage of your choice, I'd like to know
by the way which one you prefer, so comment down below and join us for this
look back at five fun drinks for Halloween
Now with these smoothies it's all about preparing the glasses, so I've put a couple
of tablespoons of Nutella into a piping bag and what I'm going to be doing on
these glasses I'm going to pipe on the outside some little sort of Ghost
I'll put some round eyes on there to start with. Now if you can get on the inside of
the glass it's really cool to do that as well and what I'm going to do with these
ones is I'm just going to pipe the inside the same sort of design a little
bit bigger and I'm going to take a little extra Nutella
just a scoop of it and I'm going to lay it on some baking paper like this, some
greaseproof paper and then I want to take these shot glasses and just
dip them into the chocolate so we get a rim of chocolate around the the outside
of the glass and I've got my orange sprinkles, I've got these hundreds of
thousand sprinkles and I'm just going to dip the shot glasses into there so I've
got that beautiful orange rim on them. So this effectively is just a vanilla ice
cream smoothie. We're just going to take a few scoops, depending on how many
drinks you're making, so I put three scoops of ice cream in there and I'm
just going to add a splash maybe a couple of tablespoons of milk, we don't
want to put too much milk in because we can add it to get the texture that we
want. Let's pop that on for a couple of minutes and basically just keep adding a
little milk at a time until you get a consistency that you're happy with.Now
I've got my glasses laid out and don't forget make these glasses up in advance
you could make them in the morning before the party if you're having a
Halloween party and then we're going to take our smoothie and be careful you
pour them in so that you don't damage the edge of the glass and with this
large one we're just going to fill it to within about half an inch of the top. So
this big fella is meant to be Casper the Friendly Ghost so I'm going to put an
nice cream, I'm just using some canned cream here you can use fresh cream
normally I would but I've got can cream so I'm going to use it and I'm
just going to pipe on top of here a ghostly top like so and that one there
is a fantastic Casper the ghost and these little fellas they're just cuter I like them and I'm just going to add one of my
jack-o'-lantern straws ,which are also on my channel and they're a heap of fun.
Which one do you think I should go for guys the big one or the small one and
while I can tell you I'm going to go for this little fella because I know exactly
if I was a child how I would eat this. Don't forget to tell the kids, the chocolates
on the outside and you know what they'll do, oh that's a lot of fun
So very quickly we want some pumpkin pie spice which I've made myself. Here I've got a
little bit of vanilla extract and some honey and here I've heated up some hot
milk in the little saucepan. Now there are different ways to get froth into
your hot milk but I find these French presses are a really excellent way of
making a thick thick froth so I'm just going to pour the hot milk into there
now and then what you do is you pop the French press top on and just pump it up
and down a few times and you can see there it's nearly tripled in size and
that's a really thick creamy froth it's fantastic when you're making lattes. Now
I have a double shot of expresso here which I'm just going to pour into my
glass, you can use instant coffee if you prefer. I'm going to add about quarter of
a teaspoon of vanilla extract into that and about quarter of a teaspoon of my
pumpkin spice and then you can sweeten it as you see fit. I'm going to use about a
teaspoon of honey in mine but you could use sugar and you can see now that I've
got this lovely thick cream with foam on top I'm just going to pour that into my
glass and I'm going to top this off like they're doing in the shops with just some
whipped cream and then a tiny pinch of pumpkin spice over the top of that.
look at the beautiful layers that makes as a drink it's just wonderful, I'm going to
give this a little stir around just to mix the honey into the drink.
what can I say that is absolutely delicious
So first things first we're
just going to take some campfire marshmallows ,get a sharp knife and just
poke it into the marshmallow make a little slit in there and then we're just
going to take some M&Ms, I'm using Brown here but you could use blue eyes we're
making actually little marshmallow eyeballs and just push the M&M inside
like that and the other thing I'm using is some chocolate pouring sauce in a
bottle with a little pointed nozzle on it like that. Now you want half a cup of
milk per Halloween hot chocolate so I've got a full cup here because I'm making
two drinks. I'm just going to pop it in to a saucepan and put it on the heat, we
then want to take 30 grams, that's about an ounce of chocolate per drink, so I've
got two ounces of milk chocolate just going to pop that in there
bring that up to a boil and let the chocolate melt. We get a beautiful hot
chocolate drink as the milk comes up to a simmer the chocolate will dissolve
into the milk it might be a little bit grainy but that's often the case when
you use real chocolate but don't worry about that. Now here's a tip if you
really want to make thick foam for coffees or for chocolates as we're doing
here these french presses are a wonderful thing, now there are other ways
of making froth but really I've never come across anything that makes as good
froth as this. So we're going to pour our hot chocolate now into there put the lid
on the French press push the plunger down and just start working that up and
down, you see how that's increased in volume that's a really thick beautiful
foam as well and then we're going to pop that into our cups getting lots of
lovely foam into our milk chocolate there and see half the cup is really
just all chocolate foam. Now my first idea is to take the eyeballs and just
drop them in to the hot chocolate like that and that looks kind of cool the
second idea is you take your chocolate syrup and you just draw some little
concentric circles on top of the foam with the chocolate sauce and then you
use a toothpick just to draw some lines across the circles so it looks like a
sort of spider's web and there you have two great little Halloween hot chocolates
for the kids, they are a lot of fun to make the kids will love them.
Dave here it's been a terrible year to be a pumpkin had my head taken off, my
innards taken out and roasted and now Steve's asked me to be a stand-in for a
pumpkin smoothie, doesn't get any worse than this guys. We interrupt this
broadcast with a public service announcement watching this video to the
very end could seriously affect your mental health, it certainly did me, okay Dave
I'll take it from there. Now the first ingredient we're going to
need is a cup full of coconut cream, now this is the thick coconut cream not the
milk, one chopped up and frozen banana. I tend to chop them up and put them into
little packets so I can use them in one hit and then one tablespoon of honey it's
a little sweetener and a quarter teaspoon of powdered cinnamon, gives a
lovely flavor to the smoothie. I'm also going to be using fresh nutmeg, now if you
haven't got fresh nutmeg just use powdered nutmeg, half a teaspoon of
vanilla essence it just gives a really lovely vanilla edge to it don't put too much
in and then for a little nutty aftertaste I'm putting in a quarter cup
of walnuts, they don't need to be chopped it can be whole or chopped. Now here I've
got a cup of frozen pumpkin but I'm going to put that in after I blended
this little lot together
okay just a few seconds with the blender and in goes a cup of frozen pumpkin and
we'll pop the lid back on and I'm going to blend that for a couple of minutes till
it's lovely and smooth, watch the color change
okay let's pour this lovely rich thick smoothie into a glass and give it a try.
Gee thanks Steve it's a bit like cannibalism but I'll give it a try.
Merry Christmas
