What Ingredients Do You Need for Holiday Coffee Creamers?

To create your Holiday Coffee Creamers, you will need a simple list of ingredients that come together effortlessly. The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility, you can tweak flavors or adjust sweetness to suit your preference.

Ingredient	Quantity
Heavy cream	1 cup
Milk	1 cup
Sweetened condensed milk	1/2 cup
Vanilla extract	1 teaspoon
Eggnog	1/2 cup
Gingerbread syrup	1/4 cup
Vanilla mint syrup	1/4 cup

When you look at these ingredients, the stars of the show are the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Both contribute to a rich and creamy base, offering delightful texture and indulgence. Heavy cream is loaded with fat, which gives it that luxurious mouthfeel, while sweetened condensed milk sweetens the deal without needing extra sugar. Don’t have these on hand? Try using half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter option, or you can substitute coconut milk to cater to dairy-free diets. You can check out my vanilla oat milk for a great alternative that aligns with modern dietary trends.

How Do You Make Holiday Coffee Creamers Step-by-Step?

Creating your own Holiday Coffee Creamers at home is a breeze and can be done in a matter of minutes. Follow these easy steps for a delightful coffee experience that will leave you feeling festive.

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir these together until the mixture is well blended and has a uniform consistency. This base will serve as the foundation for our flavored creamers, ensuring a creamy texture in every cup of coffee.

Step 2

Now, we’ll divide the mixture into three separate containers. This allows each flavor to shine individually. To the first container, add in the eggnog and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Eggnog brings that nostalgic holiday flavor, while vanilla enhances the overall depth of taste.

Step 3

In the second container, mix in the gingerbread syrup until fully combined. This syrup will infuse your coffee with that perfectly spiced holiday flavor. Lastly, take the third container and add in the vanilla mint syrup; stir until everything is well mixed. Finally, seal these containers and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, ready to enhance your morning coffee as desired! You may savor one flavor or mix them for a festive swirl.
