A chocolatey homemade creamer made with cocoa, vanilla, milk, and cream. Rich enough for a mocha flavor without turning your coffee into dessert syrup.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • small pinch Kosher salt

Instructions

Add cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to a small saucepan. Whisk together to break up any cocoa lumps.

Slowly whisk in approximately 1/4 cup of the milk until a smooth chocolate paste forms. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk.

Add heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat. Whisk frequently until completely smooth and steaming. Do not boil.

Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Cool completely.

Transfer to a clean airtight jar or bottle. Refrigerate. Shake before using.

Chef's Notes & Storage

Yield: About 2 cups. Serving size: 2 tablespoons. Making a cocoa paste first prevents dry cocoa powder from floating on top or forming stubborn lumps. Storage: Refrigerate up to 7 days. Shake before using. Keep refrigerated. Discard if odor, texture, or appearance changes unexpectedly. Dairy-free variation: Substitute unsweetened oat milk and a richer oat creamer for the milk and cream.
