Ingredients
  

For the creamer
  • 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk Look for a brand with minimal processing for the richest flavor.
  • 1 3/4 cups half and half You can substitute heavy cream for a richer profile or low-fat milk for a lighter version.
  • 2 tablespoons molasses Unsulfured molasses is the best choice; it adds depth and an authentic gingerbread taste.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons gingerbread spice mix This is typically a blend of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla extract for the most authentic flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl: sweetened condensed milk, half and half, molasses, gingerbread spice mix, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour the creamer into a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid, ensuring there are no air pockets.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Shake well before pouring into your coffee to ensure an even distribution of spices.

Notes

For best flavor, let the mixture sit in the fridge overnight. Store in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Experiment with flavors like orange zest or peppermint extract for variations.
