- Cocoa powder: Use 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to bring the mocha flavor to life.
- Peppermint extract: The key to the signature flavor! Use ½ teaspoon peppermint extract for a perfectly balanced minty taste. You can also substitute spearmint extract for the same minty flavor.

How to Make Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer
Follow these simple steps to make your own homemade peppermint mocha coffee creamer – it’s delicious! :
- Combine the ingredients: In a small saucepan, mix 1 cup milk, ½ cup sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder. Stir well to combine.
- Heat and whisk: Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk constantly to ensure the cocoa powder dissolves and no clumps remain. Turn the burner to low heat.
- Add the extracts: Once the mixture is warm (but not boiling), whisk together ½ teaspoon peppermint extract and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Peppermint and vanilla extracts add flavor to your homemade creamer. Let this simmer for 2-3 minutes to create your all-natural creamer!
- Cool and store: Remove from heat and let the creamer cool to room temperature. Pour the creamer and store it in a mug, airtight container, mason jar, or bottle. Store in refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips, Notes, and Possible Substitutions
- Make it your own: Adjust the sweeten level by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk, or try a sugar-free option for a lighter creamer.
- Dairy-free option: Swap the milk and condensed milk with plant-based alternatives like almond milk, oat milk, or other non-dairy options.
- Gifting idea: Pour your homemade coffee creamers into decorative jars and for a thoughtful holiday gift – perfect for any coffee lover! You can also make a gift basket complete with eggnog, hot cocoa, and biscotti.
