Wow, can you believe it is New Year's Eve already? Time sure flies!
It has been two years since I started Create Mindfully. During that time I have created over three hundred recipes, changed my theme, and wrote an eBook
!
This blog has been my passion these last two years. My favorite way to spend my time is coming up with and making new recipes. You should see all the notes that I have sitting around with names of recipes that I want to make.
I even started a binder so that I can be more prepared for upcoming holidays. In the past I have let some holidays slip by without taking advantage of the perfect time to post a recipe.
One of my New Year's resolutions is to think ahead and be better prepared. I am one of those people who cringe when I see Christmas merchandise being sold in October, so I it's hard for me to be motivated to come up with a St. Patrick's Day recipe when it is New Year's. (I actually did come up with one that I want to make though.)
Of course I don't have to create a recipe two months ahead of time, but that works better for me because if I wait too long, I find myself getting stressed about needing one. As it stands, I have about three months worth of recipes waiting to be posted. It really takes the pressure off.
For my last post of the year I decided to share something that makes me think of the holidays. This Mint Chocolate Coffee Creamer has been part of my morning routine lately. Before this I was enjoying my morning coffee with just coconut milk.
Since I love flavored coffee, I figured 'tis the season to turn my daily coconut milk into Mint Chocolate Coffee Creamer.
After blending and refrigerating, this has a thick, frothy, creamy texture, like whipped cream. If you prefer a thin creamer, you could always add more almond milk. Since it has the consistency of whipped cream, you could top it on your favorite dessert or add it to a cocktail
Instructions
Mix full fat coconut milk (from a can), almond milk, peppermint extract, cacao powder, and stevia in a Nutribullet or high speed blender.
Storage
This vegan coffee creamer will last up to 5 days in the fridge.

Denise says
So happy I found this! I'm starting my trial week of no dairy so I can continue breastfeeding my lil one that appears to have milk protein intolerance. I'm so happy i don't have to sacrifice my morning Joe. I'm going to make this tomorrow. Thank you!
Willow Moon says
I hope you like it as much as I do!
Kim says
This creamer is amazing! I drink it in my coffee every morning. Thanks for the recipe!
Hilda Hancock says
How long will this creamer keep in the refrigerator?
Willow Moon says
Because it has coconut milk, about 4-5 days. You could pour them into ice cube trays and pop one out as needed if you want it to last longer.
Ashley says
This sounds delicious! Now, one question. Does this make enough to replace say, an already existing bottle of creamer?
Willow Moon says
A store bought vegan creamer is around 16 ounces, but this makes around 12 ounces, so this is a little less.
Joanie @ ZagLeft says
I love making my own creamers and can't wait to give your recipe a try.
Willow Moon says
Thanks Joanie!
Megan says
This looks delicious! When you say coconut milk, do you mean the kind from Silk brand that comes in the half-gallon or the canned version used in Thai dishes? Thanks!
Willow Moon says
Thanks! The canned version in Thai dishes. Thanks for asking! I am editing the post now.
Cheryl says
Hello Willow Moon,
Just a reminder, you said you were going to edit this recipe to be "full fat canned coconit milk".
I noticed you didn't get it changed. I did catch the error, though, and am going to try it tonight. My question is, when you use the 1 cup of coconut milk, what do you do to preserve the rest? Can you freeze canned coconut milk? This looks really good! I am going to give it a try!
Thanks!
Willow Moon says
Hi Cheryl, yes I did edit it many moons ago and also linked to a can of coconut milk. I haven’t froze coconut milk except in vegan ice cream recipes. I sometimes use it up in smoothie or soup. I hope you like it!
