Ingredients
To make homemade eggnog coffee creamer, you will need a few basic ingredients.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Regular Eggnog
- Half and Half
- Rum Extract
- Ground Nutmeg
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
With this great recipe, you can enjoy the delicious flavors of eggnog in your favorite coffee and it's a wonderful way to add some extra sweetness to your after dinner decaf coffee!
Starting with the sweetened condensed milk and ending with the nutmeg, place all the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl or large measuring glass (I used a 4 cup one) and whisk or stir until fully combined.
Use immediately or store in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Tips
- Keep your creamer fresh in the fridge, sealed tightly in mason jars or milk jars with lids, for up to 10 days. Remember, this depends on the expiry dates of your half-and-half and eggnog. Always choose fresh ingredients for the best taste.
- Give it a good shake before each use to mix it well.
- Avoid blending in a blender, as it might thicken the mixture too much.
- Steer clear of pudding-based or 'mock' eggnogs. These can make your creamer overly thick and leave a film on top of your coffee.
- For a non-alcoholic version, use regular store-bought eggnog.
- If half-and-half isn’t available, whole milk, evaporated milk, or coconut milk are great alternatives.
Substitutions
In place of half-and-half: whole milk, evaporated milk, or coconut milk can be used.
Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.
Tell your visitors what equipment you use and how to adjust the recipe if they use something different, and link to your affiliate link to purchase the equipment.
Storage
Your homemade eggnog coffee creamer can be stored in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Before using, give the creamer a good shake or stir to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
This eggnog coffee creamer is a perfect addition to your morning coffee routine, or as a festive topping for your favorite holiday treats. Enjoy the delicious flavors of eggnog in every sip!
