Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ¾ cups (416 g) half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 ½ teaspoons gingerbread spice mix (a blend of ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half, molasses, gingerbread spice mix, and vanilla extract together.
- Whisk to blend: Using a whisk, thoroughly mix all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fully blended with no lumps.
- Transfer to container: Pour the creamer into a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid to ensure freshness.
- Chill and develop flavors: Refrigerate the creamer for at least 1 hour before using. This chilling time allows the gingerbread spices and molasses to meld perfectly, enhancing the flavor.
- Shake before use: Always shake the creamer well before pouring as natural separation may occur during refrigeration.
Notes
- Gingerbread spice mix can be homemade or store-bought, typically including ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- This creamer can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Shake well before each use to recombine ingredients that may settle.
- Adjust the sweetness or spice levels by adding more molasses or spice mix according to your preference.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute half-and-half with coconut cream and use a suitable condensed milk alternative.
