Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons instant coffee
- 3 cups ice
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup Toasted Marshmallow Syrup, recipe follows
- Whipped cream, for serving
- Chocolate syrup, for serving
- Crumbled graham crackers, for serving
- 2 jumbo marshmallows, toasted
- 6 jumbo marshmallows
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Dissolve the instant coffee in 1 tablespoon warm water; add to a high-powered blender. Add the ice, milk and Toasted Marshmallow Syrup to the blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Squirt whipped cream in the bottom of each of 2 tall, wide glasses and drizzle them with chocolate syrup. Divide the frozen latte between the glasses. Top each with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, graham cracker crumbs and 1 toasted jumbo marshmallow.
- Thread the marshmallows onto 2 disposable chopsticks and cook over the open flame of a stove until toasted all over, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, line the baking sheet of a toaster oven with foil coated in nonstick spray, add the marshmallows and broil, flipping once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.)
- Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the toasted marshmallows to the saucepan. Cook, stirring continuously and turning down the heat if the mixture starts to bubble up around the edges of the saucepan, until the marshmallows are completely dissolved into an opaque mixture, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and whisk in the vanilla extract and salt. Cool completely Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
