Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup purple grape juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 drops black food coloring
- 1 tablespoon edible glitter or spooky sprinkles
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, purple grape juice, vanilla extract, and honey. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the mixture and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to bloom.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is warm (but not boiling) and the gelatin is fully dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm temperature.
In a small mixing bowl, add the heavy cream and food coloring. Whisk until the color is evenly distributed.
Gently fold the colored heavy cream into the lukewarm drink mixture. Stir just enough to create a marbling effect for a ghostly look.
Pour the Boo Beverage into serving glasses and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes so the flavors meld.
Before serving, top each glass with whipped cream, a sprinkle of edible glitter or spooky sprinkles, and a final drop of black food coloring swirled to create a smoky effect.
Serve immediately and enjoy the frightful fun of this creamy, sweet drink!
