This weekend we had a Saturday Morning at home. A rare occurrence these days. Which prompted me to brew some coffee beans from our favorite shop, AND make some homemade Coffee Creamer.
Enter the Chocolate Velvet Coffee Creamer...Smooth, velvety and rich! I fell in love with it. Gonna have to stock up on jars to keep it stored just right. The original recipe called for way more sugar, and I added the Mexican Vanilla & White Vinegar...hence the "Velvet" part. Did you know that vinegar is what makes Red Velvet different from regular chocolate? Yep! Crazy, how that works.
It's a great way to save money by using homemade creamer over pre-made, plus it tastes better. ;-) Now, I just need to figure out more flavor combo's!
Chocolate Velvet Coffee Creamer
1 Cup Half And Half
3 Teaspoons baking chocolate (I used Hershey's)
1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Mexican Vanilla
1/4 Teaspoon White Vinegar
Cook over medium heat until a full boil then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Take off burner and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken. Serve immediately with coffee...or drink it straight! Ha. Not that I did that or anything...
Note: I used Hershey's Unsweetened Baking Coco Powder
For storage, I seal it in a glass jar and refrigerate.

This looks yummy! I am going to try this, except with splenda. I'm trying to get away from anything with high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated fats, which most flavored creamers are loaded with.
I'd love it if you would share this at "What We Accomplished Wednesday," at Green Willow Pond. It goes live tonight at about 6 PM EST. Have a great week!
Hugs,

Ok - I read this and immediately thought to myself, "It's been a long morning... Good thing I work from home so I can walk into the kitchen and make this RIGHT NOW!!" So I did. Unfortunately, I didn't have chocolate or half / half (we're trying to cut out dairy). Fortunately, I scoured the kitchen and found Heath English Toffee Bits and Non-dairy creamer.
Sheer bliss. That's the only way I can describe the state of my tastebuds right now. The substitutions worked!
Thank you for this recipe!!!
^Oh...toffee bar bits would be amazing! Thanks for sharing. :)

Hey! Thank you SO much for stopping by my blog! Thanks for commenting on "Hubby's Handiwork". Your blog and photos are absolutely beautiful! I cannot wait to try your creamer recipe! Thanks again!
Is Mexican Vanilla easy to find? This sounds great!
I'm visiting today from Sincerely Paula's No Rules blog hop. :)
Oh.Man. I know what I'm making in the morning.

This sounds so amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing it at Romance on a dime!!
hi! sounds great! is hershey's baking chocolate a fancy description for cocoa? thanks
My husband loves the chocolate flavored dreamers (I prefer coconut) . I will be making him a treat this weekend! Thank you so much for sharing.
This sounds delicious. I have a question. Can this be made ahead and refrigerated? This sounds great, but I don't want to make this each morning.
You mentioned "storing it properly" but then you said serve immediately. How might I store it properly? Thank you!!
I just tried this this morning. And it is fabulous! Gives my coffee a nice flavor, but on its own (I just tried a spoonful) its sinfully delicious!!!!
This sounds delicious! I usually drink my coffee black but sometimes I like to have a treat and use cream or a creamer. I will keep this in mind as it looks wonderful!
