Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cream of Wheat
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Toffee bits
- optional (for topping) Whipped cream
- optional (for topping) Chopped nuts
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and salt. Place over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
Once the milk mixture begins to simmer, slowly whisk in the Cream of Wheat to avoid lumps. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir frequently for 7-8 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
In a small bowl, mix the butter and brown sugar together until combined. Stir this mixture into the cooked Cream of Wheat until the sugar dissolves and the flavor is evenly distributed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for a subtle aromatic boost.
Portion the toffee-flavored Cream of Wheat into serving bowls, then sprinkle each portion with the toffee bits while it's hot so they slightly melt into the creamy base.
Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, decadent Toffee Cream of Wheat!
