How to Make Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and ready. Using quality chocolate spread and a good peppermint extract really enhances the flavor. Having everything at room temperature will help it blend smoothly.
Step 2: Blend It All Together
Combine the ChocZero Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, heavy cream, almond milk, and peppermint extract in a blender. Blend on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture without any lumps.

How to Serve Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe
Garnishes
Enhance your serving by adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder, crushed sugar-free peppermint candies, or even a few dark chocolate shavings on top. These simple touches make your coffee look as inviting as it tastes.
Side Dishes

Creative Ways to Present
Try offering the Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe chilled alongside iced coffee for a refreshing summertime treat or gently warmed and poured into steamed almond milk for a cozy peppermint mocha latte. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays to add a flavor boost to iced drinks without diluting them.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Because this creamer contains fresh cream, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about a week and should be shaken or stirred before each use as separation is natural.
Freezing
If you want to keep the creamer longer, freezing is a good option. Pour it into ice cube trays and freeze solid. When ready, thaw a cube or two in your coffee or warm milk to add a burst of festive flavor.
Reheating
To reheat, gently warm your creamer in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to maintain smoothness. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling or separation.
FAQs
Can I use a different sweetener in the Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe?
Absolutely! Monk fruit and allulose blend well, but you can try erythritol, stevia, or your preferred sugar-free sweetener. Just be mindful of the sweetness level and adjust to taste.
Is this creamer suitable for a dairy-free diet?
Yes! Simply swap the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk and use a nut-free milk alternative if necessary. This makes the recipe flexible for various dietary needs.
How long does the Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe last?
Stored properly in the fridge, it lasts about one week. Always give it a good stir or shake before using, as natural separation occurs.
Can I make this creamer ahead of time for holiday gatherings?
Definitely! It’s an excellent make-ahead treat. Just prepare it a day or two early, refrigerate, and then give it a quick stir when you’re ready to serve.
Will the peppermint flavor be overpowering?
The peppermint extract is strong, so start with a teaspoon and adjust according to your preference. You can always add more, but it’s harder to take away once mixed.
