Homemade Gingerbread Coffee Creamer

I’m definitely on a gingerbread kick this holiday. Last year I was all about pumpkin all the way through December, but this year I am loving the rich, full flavor of gingery, molasses-y gingerbread! I’m usually a black coffee drinker, but for some reason when I see snow on the ground, I’m ready to add some sweet, creamy coffee creamer to my morning cup every single day. It puts me in a holiday mood! I made this gingerbread coffee creamer last weekend and I only use a few teaspoons in my coffee and it gives it a rich, spicy flavor that I crave during December.

Give it a really good shake until you see the molasses disappear and the color of the cream turn a nice light, caramel color.
