Torani Syrups Help Make Holidays Even Better!

I was one of the lucky SheSpeaks members to get two free bottles of Torani syrup to review. I received a package that contained a bottle of Torani Sugar Free Salted Caramel and Torani Regular Gingerbread Syrups. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors that I was sent. These two both sounded very appealing to me. I like to compare things that are regular and sugar free due to my family members that are diabetic. I like to keep a variety of products that everyone in the household can use. Torani offers over 120 syrups including many that are available in the Sugar Free variety.



I absolutely love to try to things in my coffee, So of course I used both of these syrups as an additive to my coffee. I like both regular coffee and iced coffee. The first flavor I used was the Sugar Free Salted Caramel. I made a Skinny Salted Caramel Iced Coffee from a recipe that I found on Torani's website. Here is the recipe.

Skinny Salted Caramel Iced Coffee
2 TBS of Torani Salted Caramel Syrup
1 Cup of Nonfat Milk
2 Shots of Chilled Espresso or 1/2 Cup of Strong Brewed Coffee

Pour the ingredients over ice and stir.

This is such a simple recipe and the taste is absolutely exquisite. I fell in love with it!

Next I tried the Torani Gingerbread Syrup in another recipe that I found on Torani's website. Gingerbread Brewed Coffee is the recipe that I chose because I wanted to try this in hot coffee. The syrup sets the hot coffee over the top and it only has two ingredients. Here is the recipe.
Gingerbread Brewed Coffee
2 TBS of Torani Gingerbread Syrup
1 Cup of Dark Brewed Coffee

In a glass or mug add the syrup to the coffee and stir. Then add milk or cream to taste.

And again this is so easy and so tasteful. This is one that hot coffee lovers are sure to enjoy. I also love that Torani has such a variety of recipes on their site. There truly is a syrup and a recipe for everyone. I suggest you take a look at their wonderful creations and use it during this holiday season. You can add any of them to a dessert or drink and just enjoy a little something special. Here is a great recipe that I am excited to showcase at my next family dinner: Tiramisu Cheesecake.



Tiramisu Cheesecake
Cheesecake:
1/2 Cup of Torani Tiramisu Syrup
8 oz. Package of Cream Cheese, Softened
1/3 Cup of Sour Cream
2 Large Eggs
1 Prepared Graham Cracker Crust
Topping:
4 TBS of Torani Tiramisu Syrup
1/2 Cup of Sour Cream
1/2 Cup of Chilled Whipping Cream
Cocoa Powder for Dusting

Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees. Beat the cream cheese until soft. Add the Tiramisu syrup and sour cream. Mix well. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until smooth. Pour into the prepared pie crust and bake for 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool for 10 minutes. Whisk the sour cream and 2 TBS of the Tiramisu syrup for the topping together. Spread over the cheesecake and then chill overnight. Just before you serve it dust the top with the cocoa powder. Then whip the cream to soft peaks with the other 2 TBS of Tiramisu syrup. With a pastry bag and star tip pipe the whipped cream around the edge of the cheesecake. Cut and serve.

This is a pretty simple recipe and it looks absolutely delightful. Like I said Torani has many different flavors that you can easily incorporate into anything. These are great flavorful additions and they have awesome Sugar Free options! They are always adding new flavors to their collection of fine syrups.
