Most of us have a small indulgence or two when it comes to coffee.

If you love this flavor as much as I do, you will want to try this homemade gingerbread coffee creamer!

What is gingerbread coffee creamer?

Gingerbread, the perfect holiday flavor for everything!

If you want to enjoy coffee with a gingerbread flavor, you need a good add-in. But what exactly is gingerbread coffee creamer?

Gingerbread coffee creamer is made with heavy cream, whole milk, molasses, brown sugar, a hint of vanilla, and a blend of amazing spices for a smooth, creamy, and flavorful coffee creamer that you can make in just minutes.

Below, you'll find all the ingredients used in this recipe, as well as information on which coffees pair well with this coffee creamer, instructions on how to make the gingerbread creamer, and the calorie count.

What ingredients are used in gingerbread coffee creamer?

You'll need a few ingredients to make the perfect homemade gingerbread coffee creamer.

The great thing is that you probably have most (if not all) at home already. Have a look:

• Whole milk
• Heavy cream
• Brown sugar
• Molasses
• Vanilla extract
• Ground ginger
• Ground cinnamon
• Ground cloves

The ingredients list may seem daunting at first, but once you collect the ingredients, you'll see that it isn't that much, and it'll be worth your time once you taste it!

You can substitute whole milk and heavy cream with half and half.

The spice mix and molasses will make for that unique smell and flavor that we all know and love from gingerbread.

The vanilla extract gives the coffee creamer some depth and pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the brown sugar and molasses.

What coffees go well with this coffee creamer?

Coffee creamer is one of those add-ins that can be used with just about any coffee.

I prefer drinking a cup of pour over coffee in the early morning and will switch to espresso coffee after lunch.

This gingerbread coffee creamer works incredibly well for any brewed coffee you like.

I've been adding this creamer to my daily morning coffee for some time now, and I love the flavor.

It goes well with any brewing technique as well. I've tried it with coffee made using a Hario V60, Chemex, and French press.

I've also used different coffee beans for each brewing technique, which resulted in a distinct flavor overall, with the coffee creamer being the main focus.

In short, use this coffee creamer for all your coffees this holiday and be amazed by the flavor combinations!

Tip: You can also use this to make a gingerbread latte at home!

Prep Time 3 minutes

Additional Time 2 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (0.12 l) of whole milk
• 1/2 cup (0.12 l) of heavy cream
• 1 tbsp (15 grams) of molasses
• 1 tbsp (15 grams) of brown sugar
• 1 tsp (5 grams) of vanilla extract
• 1 tsp (5 grams) of ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp (2 grams) of ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp (2 grams) of ground cloves

Instructions

Collect all the ingredients. Once you've collected them, you're ready to make this gingerbread coffee creamer:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan, preferably with a handle.
2. Place the saucepan on the stove on medium heat.
3. Grab a whisk and keep stirring through the mixture until it's hot but not boiling.
4. Lower the heat once the sugar has dissolved and the spices have been incorporated.
5. Leave the mixture on low heat for five more minutes. Keep stirring throughout to prevent burning.
6. After five minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the coffee creamer into a saucer; this way, you can use it right away.
7. The remaining creamer is best stored in a resealable container like a mason jar.
8. Store the coffee creamer in the fridge until you're ready to use it. It's best used within a few days or until the best-by date on your dairy.

Notes

Shake the coffee creamer after storing, so you can mix the spices that have settled again.

You can swap out the heavy cream and whole milk for the same amount of half and half so that you can make it even faster.

How many calories are in gingerbread coffee creamer?

This coffee creamer has a total of 16 servings, with each serving consisting of two tablespoons.

Each serving has a total of 77 calories. I found that two tablespoons will add a nice sweetness to most coffees without making them overly sweet.

You can use a bit more or less, depending on your preferred sweetness level. I prefer to use a bit more when using a French press to make coffee, especially with dark roasts, or when employing other brewing techniques.

I suggest sticking to two tablespoons the first time and adjusting it to your desired level of sweetness after that.
