Crème De La Crème A La Edgar

Here is another Disney recipe, this one is for a warm milky cinnamon infused drink. Crème de la crème a la Edgar featured on the Disney movie The Aristocats.

 Edgar, the loyal butler to the rich millionairess owner of Duchess and her adorable kittens. After over hearing that Madame Bonfamille was going to leave her entire fortune to her precious cats, makes their favourite bedtime drink (laced with sleeping pills) before taking them into the countryside and leave them there.

This was another recipe share, there are two of them. The first one, I was not too keen on the ingredients as it used a lot of cinnamon and nutmeg which I think would overpower the drink. The second added honey but not cinnamon or nutmeg which while watching that clip it looks like they were added to the drink, but I will certainly try the second one. Below are the shared recipes.

Both recipe pictures sourced on shared Disney recipes sites.

So I decided to make one up myself, tasting it as I went along to get what I think is a delicious relaxing bedtime drink.

Ingredients

1/12 cups milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cinnamon stick

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/4 tsp vanilla bean extract

2 tbsp brown sugar

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Method

1. In a small pan, add milk, cream, cinnamon stick, vanilla essence, vanilla extract and sugar, stir to combine. Gradually bring to the boil. Add nutmeg and whisk to combine. Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon dusting sugar (optional).

To make it thicker, gradually add by whisking,  a little cornflour paste. ( 1 tbsp cornflour mixed with water to make a paste).
