Add Step-by-Step Photos	Divaliscious / All my dishes 1 year, 8 months ago This is a classic breakfast drink I'd order at the diner or when I am aching for something chocolaty and it's not that bad for you either...really...and contrary to non-believers, there is NO egg in egg creams sodas...recipe is from the late 1800's s...

Ingredients

One extra large glass

2 ounces of chocolate syrup - I use Nestles (no fat) - or more

5 ounces milk (skim to whole milk ok)

5 ounces seltzer - freshly open is best

1 fork/whisk to stir

Directions

In one large glass, pour milk till halfway up glass.

Add chocolate syrup to make extra chocolaty.

With fork or whisk, stir well till combined.

Open fresh bottle of seltzer.

While stirring chocolated milk with fork or whisk all the while, add seltzer to fill glass to 1/2 inch below rim.

Continue to stir till combined.

Bubbles in seltzer will continue to form (like champagne) after you have finished stirring and will appear like the head on a properly poured beer.

Serve it up to one closest to you.

Note: I use this as a hangover cure - it's like a yoohoo gone soda, and no I will not tell you how often I have hangovers....but I will tell you that I usually make this at least 2x a month for the fun of it for a dessert drink when I really need chocolate but do not wish the extra pounds of say a chocolate pound cake - lol.

Photo shown is not my egg cream but one I found on the internet, the froth should be thicker (this one shows too much seltzer - I know from experience and as a NYer)

Ze bomb! Last time I was in NY for a week I went to a different diner every day and tried egg creams at all of them (ever had a vanilla egg cream? Ooooh, if you know a recipe for one, I'd be forever indebted to you!!). Now I can enjoy them in stupid Kansas as well. Thanks a bunch!!

Here's for vanilla egg creams recipes:
1) 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (preferably ubet), 2 ounces whole milk & 6 ounces seltzer water
(I am not sure about this one above as to the proportions, I'd up milk for a 50/50 ratio

I always wondered what an egg cream was! I pictured something a lot more complicated.

I tried one last month using chocolate soy milk and seltzer with a bit extra chocolate syrup - went down very well... though due to the consistency of the chocolate soy milk, I suggest using more seltzer than normally...
