The Heavenly Hash Martini Cocktail Recipe

You may think of Heavenly Hash as an ice cream flavor, but it started out as a candy confection. Originally created by a New Orleans department store to pass out to shoppers on Easter, the recipe was acquired by Elmer’s Candy Corp which launched it into large scale production in 1923. To this day a Heavenly Hash candy egg still remains a Louisiana Easter tradition.

Inspired by that iconic Heavenly Hash Egg, this cocktail recipe has the traditional marshmallows, nut and chocolate flavors then adds booze to that. 

How heavenly is that?

Banana Cheesecake Pudding Martini Recipe

RECIPE FOR MY

BANANA CHEESECAKE PUDDING MARTINI

Ingredients

1 Package of Sugar Free Jell-O Cheesecake Pudding Mix

2 Cups of 1% or Fat Free Milk

2 Bananas

1 Cup of Vanilla Wafers

1 Cup of Animal Crackers

1/2 Cup Crushed Pecans (or Walnuts)

1/3 Cup Melted Butter

Equipment

2 Large Mixing Bowls

Blender

1 Pie Pan or Baking Dish

Electric Mixer

2 Large Martini Glasses

Crush the vanilla wafers, animal crackers and nuts in a blender to a fine consistency.  Mix these together with the melted butter in a bowl then press tightly into an even layer in the pie pan or baking dish.  Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes or until golden brown at the edges. Allow to cool.

Prepare the pudding mix per the package instructions and place in the refrigerator to set.

Once your pudding is set and your "crust" has cooled, grab out your martini glasses and slice in 1/2 of the banana into the bottom of the glass, then layer in some of the pudding, then crumble in some of the cookie crust, then repeat.  Save a few banana slices for the top.  Add your whipped cream, sprinkle on a bit more of the crushed cookie crust for garnish and top off with the remaining few slices of bananas.

Makes 2 generous Banana Cheesecake Pudding Martinis!

Try this as a Tropical Pudding Martini by substituting 1 cup of the milk with 1/2 a cup of coconut milk and 1/2 a cup of pineapple juice and add some toasted coconut to the cookie layers!  There's a ton of different combinations you can use;  think Black Forest with chocolate pudding and cherry pie filling or Chocolate lemon with lemon pie filling and chocolate cake - the possibilities are endless!

Happy National Peanut Butter Day - Peanut Butter Martini

January 24th is

NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER DAY

 If you can't control your peanut butter, you can't expect to control your life. ~ Bill Watterson

Despite the name, peanuts are not nuts, they are legumes and come from the same family as beans. Yup, I guess I just made a bean martini.

Honestly, this isn't a recipe as much as it is a way to enjoy a very special liqueur called Castries Peanut Rum Creme. This special liqueur is just like sipping creamy, liquid peanuts! All I did here was add just a pinch of salt.

THE
PEANUT BUTTER
MARTINI

INGREDIENTS
3 Oz. Castries Peanut Rum Crème Liqueur
Pinch of Sea Salt
Ice

Garnish:  Peanut Butter, Crushed Peanuts

Tools: Cocktail Shaker

Glass: Coupe or Martini (Cocktail)

DIRECTIONS
Pipe a small line of peanut butter on the edge of the glass rim then dip in the crushed peanuts. Chill glass in the freezer.
Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker until chilled.
Pour into the chilled, rimmed glass and serve.

Who Invented Peanut Butter?
In 1884 to Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Montreal, Quebec, Canada patented a process of milling roasted peanuts between heated surfaces until the peanuts entered "a fluid or semi-fluid state", and in 1903 Dr. Ambrose Straub of St. Louis patented a peanut butter-making machine. But peanut butter or peanut pastes had been around hundreds of years prior to both of these inventions.

The ancient Incas used peanuts and were known to have made it into a paste-like substance centuries ago, though this was not the creamy substance we're familiar with today as it did not include the oils or sugars that are added in modern peanut butters.

Some Health Benefits of Peanut Butter

• Peanut butter contains resveratrol; this agent has anti-microbial properties that help the body to effectively deal with bacteria and various types of fungi
• Peanut Butter is high in fiber, protein and micronutrients
• Peanut Butter is an excellent source of iron, magnesium, potassium, copper and calcium.
• Though Peanut Butter is high in fat it is monounsaturated, which has been shown to improve the cholesterol profile by lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol.
• In a 20 year study on 80,000 female subjects by the Nurses' Health Study, it was observed that women who eat least 1 ounce of nuts, peanuts or peanut butter each week have a 25% lower risk of developing gallstones
• According to the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, the niacin contained in peanuts, when eaten regularly, provides protection against Alzheimer's disease.

Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter
