This homemade gingerbread coffee creamer captures the warm, spicy-sweet flavor of Starbucks’ version in just five minutes. Made with simple pantry ingredients, it’s perfect for holiday hosting or a cozy morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • 1 cup whole milk (or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 3 tablespoons molasses (unsulphured, not blackstrap)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the dairy base: In a mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, pour in the heavy cream and whole milk. Whisk to combine.
  2. Add the sweeteners: Add the molasses and brown sugar to the cream mixture. Whisk vigorously until the brown sugar is mostly dissolved.
  3. Whisk in the spices: Add the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk for about 30 seconds until fully incorporated. If clumps form, pour through a fine-mesh strainer into your storage jar.
  4. Heat it up (optional but recommended): Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and warm over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly. Do not let it boil.
  5. Taste and adjust: Taste the creamer and adjust spices or sweetness to your preference.
  6. Cool and store: Let the creamer cool to room temperature (about 15-20 minutes), then pour into a storage jar. Seal tightly and refrigerate.
  7. Shake before using: Shake or stir the creamer well before each use, as spices settle at the bottom.

Notes

For best flavor, let the creamer rest overnight in the fridge. Shake well before each use. Do not boil the creamer to prevent curdling. Molasses can be messy—spray your measuring spoon with non-stick spray for easy cleanup.
