Notes
Fresh and high-quality cream, cocoa powder, and extracts will make a noticeable difference in the flavor of your creamer.
Start with a small amount of peppermint extract and taste as you go. Add more if needed.
Let the creamer cool completely before storing in the fridge. This prevents condensation from diluting the mix.
This creamer stores beautifully, so double the batch to keep on hand for personal use and to gift to friends and family.
When serving, sprinkle crushed candy canes, shaved chocolate, mini chocolate chips, or red and green sprinkles on top of your coffee for a café-style touch. A drizzle of caramel or chocolate is delicious, too.
Serve: Aside from the classic coffee, team and hot chocolate, add peppermint mocha creamer to milkshakes and smoothies. Pair with breakfast favorites - pour it over pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal, finished off with a dusting of cinnamon. Lastly, enjoy it as a dessert sauce - drizzle it over cake, brownies, or any of your favorite treats as a sweet glaze.Store: Pour your homemade creamer into an airtight container or mason jar, cool completely, and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Give it a good shake before use as some of the cocoa powder will settle at the bottom.
