Try These Homemade Coffee Creamer Flavors For the Holidays!

Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for McCafé packaged coffee. I received product samples as well as a monetary promotional incentive to thank me for my participation.

Try These Homemade Coffee Creamer Flavors For the Holidays with McCafe Coffee! #McCafeAtHome #IC AD | Mama Harris' KitchenSo, every morning I have this routine.

Get up, get ready, get the kids ready, wake up the teenagers and make sure they are ready, get everyone clothed and fed, then off to school. Usually this goes well with only minor hiccups. Sometimes a teenager is late waking up. Occasionally the littlest wants to play Lego’s or watch tv. Once in a while the first grader will balk at which shirt I’ve chosen or stall on getting his shoes on. For the most part, though, our mornings go pretty smoothly. Once everyone is dropped off, I return home. I make my coffee, add my creamer, include a little sweetener, and sit down and get into work mode. Whether it’s checking my email, writing out a recipe or beginning my shopping list – this is my “me-time” every day. I get to enjoy my coffee in silence and process how my day will go.

You can imagine how thrown off I might be if I’m out of creamer, right? Especially if I didn’t realize I was out of creamer?

Oh yes, it’s like an emergency!

Thankfully, I discovered a way to make my own creamer quite a few years ago. On the occasion I unexpectedly run out of creamer, I’ll often just make my own. And if I happen to have run out of sweetened condensed milk, I’ll just make that too.

Try These Homemade Coffee Creamer Flavors For the Holidays with McCafe Coffee! #McCafeAtHome #IC AD | Mama Harris' KitchenThroughout the year I’ll typically make a vanilla creamer or sweet cream. During the holidays, though, I like to go all out and make fun holiday coffee creamer flavors. Sometimes I prefer this over my normal creamer too, since you can control what ingredients are in there. If you make your own sweetened condensed milk too, you can also control the fat and sugar as well!

Try These Homemade Coffee Creamer Flavors For the Holidays with McCafe Coffee! #McCafeAtHome #IC AD | Mama Harris' KitchenI recently got the opportunity to try out some of the most popular McCafé packaged coffee flavors. I have to say, the Hazelnut is my favorite. I’ve never smelled a better smelling coffee, and we all know that part of the whole coffee experience begins with the aroma. You can fin McCafé packaged coffee in K-Cup® pods form as well as in a traditional ground form. I thought it would be fun to try them out with some of my favorite homemade coffee creamer flavors for the holidays, which would also be wonderful to set out for guests or even provide to coffee lovers as a gift option. Just package up a bottle of homemade coffee creamer, coffee, and a cute mug with personalized tags and a sticker for the cap for the coffee lover in your life. What a treat!

Try These Homemade Coffee Creamer Flavors For the Holidays with McCafe Coffee! #McCafeAtHome #IC AD | Mama Harris' KitchenMcCafé packaged coffee is available wherever you buy groceries and is made with 100% Arabica beans. It also comes in seven different varieties including roasts and blends, such as Premium Roast, French Roast, Breakfast Blend and Colombian, as well as different flavors, such as French Vanilla and Hazelnut. For more information you can check out McDonalds.com/McCafeAtHome or follow along at @McCafe!

I know I’d definitely accept a cup or two with my favorite cookie!

Eggnog Creamer Ingredients:

  • 1 can condensed milk (or homemade condensed milk*)
  • 1 and 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Peppermint Mocha Creamer Ingredients:

  • 1 can condensed milk (or homemade condensed milk*)
  • 1 and 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Gingerbread Creamer Ingredients:

  • 1 can condensed milk (or homemade condensed milk*)
  • 1 and 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

*Homemade Condensed Milk Ingredients:

  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 and 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

*If you’re making the homemade condensed milk, add the milk and sugar to a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. Once mixture has come to a boil, lower heat to a high simmer. Continue to whisk every so often, watching as the liquid reduces by half. This is condensing the liquid in the milk, creating a thick sauce. Once the liquid is about half of what it was when you began, stir in the vanilla and butter. Measure and use as you would a canned sweetened and condensed milk. The canned version is about 1 and 3/4 cups measured.

Try These Homemade Coffee Creamer Flavors For the Holidays with McCafe Coffee! #McCafeAtHome #IC AD | Mama Harris' KitchenBegin by heating the condensed milk in a heavy bottom saucepan on a medium/low heat. Add the extracts and slowly add the dry powders.

Try These Homemade Coffee Creamer Flavors For the Holidays with McCafe Coffee! #McCafeAtHome #IC AD | Mama Harris' KitchenWhile the condensed milk is warm, whisk the flavorings until well incorporated. You don’t want a mouthful of cinnamon or cocoa powder! Once the condensed milk has heated through and the flavorings are well mixed, slowly mix in the milk (or cream). Whisk it all together until it’s well mixed, then remove from heat.

For this go around I used the Breakfast Blend, but you can play with flavors. I love to add a lot of flavor to my coffee by using the flavored coffee and mixing it with a creamer in a different flavor.

    I was wondering how making my own condensed milk would work with sugar substitutes? Would it affect the taste of process in anyway that you know of? I’m diabetic and have been wanting to make my own creamers when I can.

      Hi Crystal,
      I haven’t tried these with sugar substitutes. If you do try it, please let me know your results!

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
