New York Egg Cream
Sunday with Marlena Spieler
When the three of us were divvying up recipes and we got this recipe, we wondered if we would enjoy the recipe as we assumed that there would be eggs in the recipe. We are not big fans of eggs in a beverage. The title is deceiving. Marlena says in her book that no one is sure why it is called Egg Cream, it is probably because of the richness at a time when folks could not afford to put eggs and cream together in a drink. This is very easy to put together ( about 3 minutes) and very refreshing after a work out or on a warm summer day!
Chocolate Syrup – 3 to4 T
Chilled Milk – ½ cup
Chilled Carbonated Water – ½ cup
Cocoa Powder to sprinkle
- Spoon the chocolate syrup in a tall glass
- Pour the chilled milk and then the carbonated water carefully
- Dust with Cocoa powder and enjoy!
This is really one of the easiest recipes we have made so far. To make it a little bit more richer, you can add a layer of condensed milk over the chocolate syrup 
One of the glasses had a dash of Kahlua too
Mel & Eileen always have great recipes on their blogs, so hop there for more fun recipes from Marlena.
That sound like the concoction Charlie makes but instead of carbonated water he uses coke.. It tastes good too. We have some carbonated water, I’m going to make a glass.
When I was a kid, my parents had one of those bottles that you could push a lever and carbonated water would spew out. My mom told us kids to never touch it…as it was dangerous.
What kind of carbonated water did you use?
It looks yummy..like a chocolate soda!
I don’t remember what brand I used
. Any kind of sparkling water will work too
