Units
Scale
- 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy cream (see notes 1 for details and substitutes)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (see notes 2 for details and substitutes)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients in a medium saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat. Cocoa powder and sugar will dissolve as the milk and cream heats and you continue to whisk.
- Continue to whisk until creamer is smooth and begins to simmer (about 5-10 minutes). Be careful not to let the cream or sugar scorch as you whisk.
- Remove from heat and let cool for about 5-10 minutes so it’s easier to handle
- Pour into a jar, carafe, swing-top pitcher, or other container of your choice. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.

Substitutions:
- Replace with equal parts half and half or coconut cream (milk can also be used, but Please note: It will not be as thick or rich)
- Replace with equal parts white sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Note: If you chose maple syrup you also need to cut back on the evaporated milk but ¼ cup
How to use the Creamer:
- Add it to your morning coffee, afternoon pick-me-up, or a shot of espresso! If you do the espresso, I highly recommend you heat the creamer first (and you may need to add a little milk to lighten the sweetness, depending on your taste.
- To add a fun finish, top your coffee with some whipped cream and enjoy!!!
Storage Details:
- Pour into a jar, milk bottle, swing-top pitcher, or other container of your choice. Store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks
- For Easy portion sizes; freeze in silicone ice cube trays. Once frozen, remove and put into a storage bag to be used anytime. Note: I highly recommend warming it a bit in your mug first, then add your coffee. Unless your coffee is extremely hot and you want the cube to cool off your coffee.
