I hear those sleigh bells ring-a-ling, jing-jing-jingaling….okay not really, it’s still 90+ degrees here in Arizona but the holiday music and ads are already filling the airwaves! I may not get snow here {thankfully} but I still love to indulge in all of the holiday traditions, including a creamy and delicious Gingersnap Latte…..

Cinnamon, molasses, ginger, and cloves mixed with a double shot of espresso and steaming hot Silk® Cashewmilk create a decadent Gingersnap Latte that everyone can enjoy.

It still amazes me how many people refuse to accept that they are lactose intolerant, simply because they do not want to feel deprived of their favorite recipes. By substituting Silk® Cashewmilk, Coconutmilk, Almondmilk, or Soymilk, everyone can enjoy a delicious coffee drink and no one is left out.

I have even served my favorite Peppermint Mocha to friends using Silk® Cashewmilk, and they didn’t even notice a difference!! Shhhh, don’t tell them….

The next time you are in the dairy aisle at Walmart to purchase your favorite Silk® product, you might be surprised by the new packaging……

I stood there staring at the carton not quite sure if it was the same Silk® Cashewmilk that I always buy, it looks very different…..

It has a new look, but the same silky smooth taste that we all love. 🙂

Pour Gingersnap Syrup into a mug that is 14 ounces or larger…..

I bought the clear mugs because they would look cool, not realizing that 13 ounces is too small if you are going to top your Gingersnap Latte, lol

Add the espresso or coffee….

and the heated Silk® Cashewmilk. Stir to combine…..

Top with Coconut Whipped Cream or your favorite non-dairy topping, if desired. Grate fresh nutmeg over the top and serve…..

As you can see, the whipped topping did not exactly fit. Oh well, messy is still delicious!! 😉

Notes:

A double shot of espresso equals 3 ounces, approximately. Substitute very strong coffee if you do not have an espresso machine.
If you need a refresher course, this is how you make Espresso at home.
If you prefer “frothed milk” instead of whipped topping, Silk® Soymilk will froth, the other varieties will not…I’ve tried.
I always use Unsweetened Cashewmilk so I can control the sweetness, especially in savory dishes.

You guys know how much I love Silk® Cashewmilk, right? I use it in everything! It is thick and creamy just like milk, but did you know that Silk® Original and Unsweetened Cashewmilks have fewer calories than skim milk? Now I have even more reasons to love it. 🙂

This is the best Homemade Dairy-free Ranch Dressing on the planet, trust me 😉

I also explain how I convert recipes to dairy-free

Dairy-free Dragon Fruit Smoothies are pretty awesome as well…..

and who doesn’t love a refreshing beverage to wash down their Chocolate Chip Waffled Cookies?

Check out the Silk.com for even more recipes and ideas. I already have my eye on the Chocolate Pudding! 😉

Enjoy!!
