What happens when you marry two food favorites? In my case you get Red Velvet Popovers. My love affair with popovers started as a child at Buffum’s department store. I was inspired by Joy’s Hot Chocolate popovers and thought why not Red Velvet? These could make someone swoon on Valentine’s Day.
Hot out of the oven they are stuffed with Hershey’s Mini Kisses and topped with a marshmallow. Served with the Marshmallow Cream Spread schmeered (is that a word) over the warm popover puts it over the top. The spread is a mixture of mascarpone cheese and marshmallow fluff. My favorite little taste tasters gave it two thumbs up.
The popovers are super easy to make because you whip it all up in a blender and pour into the pan. The hardest part is letting them bake in the oven without opening the door. Thankfully I have a window with a light so I could peek in and see them rising up in the pan and creating beautiful red puffs.
A recipe for Red Velvet Popovers with Marshmallow Cream Spread.
