Ingredients You’ll Need
The magic of this Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe is in its simplicity. Each ingredient plays an important role to balance flavor, creaminess, and sweetness while keeping things naturally sugar-free and satisfying.
- ChocZero Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Spread: This spread gives a rich, nutty chocolate base without adding sugar.
- Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend: A gentle, natural sweetener that enhances sweetness without spiking blood sugar.
- Heavy Cream: Adds luscious creaminess and body; substitute full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free options.
- Unsweetened Almond Milk: Lightens the creamer without watering down the taste; use coconut milk beverage if you need a nut-free version.
- Peppermint Extract: Provides the unmistakable holiday mint flavor; adjust to make it as subtle or bold as you like.
How to Make Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe
Step 1: Blend the ingredients together
Start by combining the ChocZero Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, powdered monk fruit blend, heavy cream, almond milk, and peppermint extract in a blender. Blend everything until completely smooth and velvety—this ensures each sip gets that perfect, creamy texture infused with chocolatey peppermint goodness.
Step 2: Taste and adjust peppermint
Once blended, give your creamer a taste test. Peppermint extract can be powerful, so add a little more if you want a more pronounced mint flavor, or a splash less for subtle hints that support but don’t dominate your coffee experience. This step personalizes your creamer perfectly every time.
How to Serve Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe
Garnishes
Add a touch of whimsy by garnishing your coffee with crushed peppermint candies, a dusting of cocoa powder, or a light swirl of whipped cream sprinkled with dark chocolate shavings. These little extras make each cup feel like a special celebration of flavor.
Side Dishes
Pair your peppermint mocha coffee with low-carb biscotti, almond flour cookies, or even a handful of roasted nuts. The combination balances out the creamy mocha’s sweetness and adds a satisfying crunch or chewy texture that elevates your coffee break into a mini treat.
Creative Ways to Present
For a festive flare, serve this creamer in a clear glass pitcher or bottle with a sprig of fresh mint tied around the neck with twine. You can also heat the creamer separately and pour it foamy atop brewed coffee for a latte-like drink without the fuss of an espresso machine.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
This creamer keeps beautifully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before each use, give it a good stir or shake to recombine as some ingredients might settle or separate over time.
Freezing
Because of the cream and almond milk, freezing isn’t ideal for texture and separation could occur once thawed. It’s best to enjoy this creamer fresh or refrigerated for optimal flavor and consistency.
Reheating
If you prefer your creamer warmed before adding it to your coffee, gently heat it on the stovetop or in the microwave using low power for short intervals. Stir well to avoid scorching and preserve that smooth mouthfeel.
FAQs
Can I use a different sweetener?
Absolutely! While the Besti powdered monk fruit blend works great for sugar-free sweetness, you can substitute with erythritol, stevia blends, or your favorite sugar-free sweetener—just adjust amounts to taste.
Is this creamer dairy-free?
It can be! Use full-fat coconut milk in place of heavy cream and a coconut milk beverage instead of almond milk to keep it completely free of dairy.
How strong is the peppermint flavor?
The peppermint extract is added to taste, so it can range from subtle notes to a bold mint punch depending on how much you include during blending.
Can I make a larger batch?
Definitely. Just multiply the ingredients proportionally and blend in batches if your blender isn’t large enough.
Will this creamer curdle in hot coffee?
Nope! Because of the rich cream and the way it’s blended smoothly, it mixes well with hot coffee without curdling, giving you a silky, well-integrated drink every time.
