Instructions

Make the Gingerbread Creamer (The Night Before)

  • In a small saucepan, measure out the half-and-half. Warm over low heat.
  • Add the molasses, ginger root, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and allspice.
  • Continue warming until the mixture just barely simmers, about 10 minutes, before removing from the heat.
  • Cover or transfer to a heat-safe bowl. Steep in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the ginger and lumps from the creamer.
  • Refrigerate for up to a week or until time to enjoy.

Make the Whipped Cream

  • While the coffee is brewing, measure out the heavy whipping cream into a large glass bowl.
  • Measure out the powdered sugar and spices.
  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream until it forms a soft whipped cream.
  • Store in the refrigerator (if making in advance) or immediately use on coffee.

Make a cup of Holiday Coffee

  • In a glass mug, measure out the coffee.
  • Add in the Gingerbread Creamer. (Add more or less, depending on your tastebuds.) Stir in until combined.
  • Dollop whipped cream on top of the coffee.
  • Enjoy immediately!
