Mud Pie Frozen Latte & Giveaway

I didn’t know there was a drink called Mud Pie Latte until I made one. Now there’s at least one drink called Mud Pie Frozen Latte. And trust me, it’s good.

Since I was a kid, I’ve always adored combinations of chocolate, coffee and whipped cream. Throw some oreos in the mix, and that’s dessert nirvana for me. So I decided, while it’s still summertime, to create a latte that can either be an extra special morning treat, or a fabulous summer night dessert. Either one works!

What I love most about this latte is that while it looks really decadent, it’s actually not that bad. And you can make it a little “skinnier” by using less (or no) sugar, and low fat milk instead of half and half.

On a general basis, I like my drinks to be on the healthy side, but I absolutely love to indulge every now and then, and this is the way I like to do it. Hope you enjoy it too!
