Homemade Coffee Creamer: Christmas Edition

My long lost love is coffee creamer, my new found love is raw cocoa butter, better known as unsweetened white chocolate.  Buy it just to open the jar and smell, very aromatic.  Cocoa butter is high in antioxidants and fatty stearic acid.  These have been found to lower your cholesterol and raise metabolism!  Cheers to that! 
This started as an ode' to the Berry White Mocha from Caribou Coffee.  So in a sense it is a copy-cat.  But this is much better when brewed at home with your favorite roasted beans.  This recipe post has 2 nice and 1 naughty...if you have little mini coffee sneakers in the house like me, do not let your children drink from the Eggnog Creamer.  See here for my first edition of Homemade Coffee Creamer!   Also learn How To: Make a latte.  Have a very Merry Christmas!

  1. Those eggnog butter rolls look fantastic and this creamer sounds so good. It would be fun to make a few different ones and set them out with the coffee for our Christmas brunch.

    Hope you and your family have a blessed holiday.
