Peppermint Mocha Creamer – Christmas Making and Baking

I’m enjoying making new creamers now that I got the ratio of milk/ half & half/ or heavy whipping cream to condensed milk.

This creamer needs to be warmed up so that the cocoa is dissolved.  I had to strain the nondissolved cocoa, so there weren’t any lumps left.

As you can see from my pictures, some of the cocoa did not dissolve.

I like peppermint mocha lattes from Starbucks.  However, they use WAY too much mocha in the lattes.  This creamer allows me to have a peppermint mocha latte without the extra cost.  Plus, I can customize it to my liking.

Stars of the recipe:

  • 1/2 c. milk, half and half, or whipping cream

Steps:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat on medium-high heat until the cocoa is dissolved.  Five or so minutes.
  3. If the cocoa does not dissolve, strain the creamer to remove the lumps of cocoa.
