Coffee Fluff

 Coffee Fluff

    Another  Milk....The Way to Health & Beauty (published by the New York State Bureau of Milk Publicity in 1939) recipe. As a dessert, this was alright. The morning after I made it, I scooped a little bit on to my morning coffee.  When I made this, there was a thicker fluffy layer and a thin an almost pudding-y coffee colored layer. Notes in italics. Try this and let me know if you like it. 

Ingredients: 

1/2 lb marshmallows

1 cup hot coffee

1 tsp vanilla (I used maple flavoring)

1 cup heavy cream

1/8 tsp salt

Extra whipped cream for topping (optional)

Crushed graham cracker crumbs for topping (optional) (you can use whichever flavor you like)

Directions:

Add hot coffee into a medium sized pan. Stir in marshmallows and salt. On low, cook and stir until marshmallows are melted and smooth. Pour into a bowl and chill until the fluff starts to set. Whip cream until stiff. Fold in whipped cream and add vanilla. Chill until "the mixture will mound". Serve in sherbet glasses or small dessert bowls. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers. Serves about six.
