Last week Moon River Brewing's Assistant Brewer Jamee Parsons held the second montly Women's Beer Tasting, and this night out one of the beer and food pairings combined their coffee-inspired stout and a grown-up's version of the Rice Krispy Treat.
Ingredients Needed:
Marshmallow Creme
Melted White Chocolate (like Ghiradelli)
Honey Nut Cheerios
Ground Chocolate Malt
Porter-style Beer
Directions:
This version was made by melting white chocolate and marshmallow creme together at a 50/50 ratio, making about half a cup for every 1 cup of Honey Nut Cheerios.
Next, our hostess poured this mixture over a combination of Honey Nut Cheerios.
To finish off the recipe and tie back in cooking with beer or beer-inspired ingredients, the concoction was sprinkled with ground roasted chocolate malt which is used to make Moon River's Porter.
The trick is to take a bite of the gooey treat and let it sit on your tongue while you take a gulp of the porter. I do not order porters as my beer of choice, but pairing it with the right desserts definitely has it in the running for dessert of choice.
Instead of serving a dessert that everyone has already had before, shock your guests by serving this grown-ups only dessert and beer pairing and help convince all those that swear that don't like dark beer into porter groupies.
