Sugar Free Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer
All the flavors that you crave – rich and creamy chocolate, with a burst of bright peppermint. This rich and creamy coffee creamer is low carb, sugar free, and a Trim Healthy Mama S Fuel!
Once upon a time . . . a long time ago, I was addicted to coffee creamer.
Seriously.
At any given time I would have four or five different flavors in my refrigerator. I looked forward to coffee because of the creamer (true story)!
Then, my husband and I abruptly quit sugar for about 2 months or so, and that seemed to break my addiction!
Now I much prefer to just have a splash of half and half in my coffee. I even drink it black . . . . on rare occasions.
A lot of my readers have said that coffee is one of the hardest things to make sugar free.
And I hear you! I’ve been there.
There is no shame in wanting something more than half and half in your morning drink.
Now I will admit, this flavor was not my first choice when I was buying the store bought varieties.
I was much more into chocolate and caramel. (Coming soon!)
But, I’ve been working on a seasonal recipe . . . this Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer.
How to Make Homemade Coffee Creamer
The first time I made it, I used some of my 3 Ingredient Sweetened Condensed Milk (which is also low carb and sugar free).
It tasted great, but it turned out a bit strange after sitting in the refrigerator.
So the next time, I omitted the condensed milk and just used Gentle Sweet to sweeten it. Perfect!
It was so good that I (briefly) considered sticking a straw in and drinking it! It transformed my afternoon cup of joe a delightful treat!
Ingredients Needed for Homemade Sugar Free Coffee Creamer
Heavy Whipping Cream
Half & Half
Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Cocoa Powder
Cup Gentle Sweet (or your favorite powdered low carb sweetener)
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1 Drop Peppermint Essential Oil (See notes below for how to use mint extract in place of essential oil.)
OR,
How to use Collagen in your Coffee
You can easily substitute the cocoa powder and sweetener with 3 Tablespoons of this awesome Chocolate Collagen. It has all the flavor of cocoa powder, but with the added benefits of collagen and MCT oils.
This transforms your “normal” cup of coffee into a health drink!
I have been using this Chocolate collagen for months, and I still love it.
It is also sweetened with stevia, so you can feel confident about using it around your pets. (Xylitol, which is used in Gentle Sweet, is considered poisonous to dogs.)
And as a special treat for you, use the code “mymontanakitchen” to get 15% off your first order of Chocolate collagen (they also have Vanilla and Salted Caramel flavors).

I cannot eat or drink artificial sweetner, even Stevia.it makes me ill. Is there an alternative?
You can use your favorite sweetener. 🙂
I tried this creamer today and i give it two thumbs ☝! I love the mocha espresso from starbucks and it inspired me to try to make my own. Thanks for your post!
Hello, how long will this creamer last in the fridge? Looks delish!
It should last as long as your cream and half and half would stay fresh. I’m guessing 1 1/2 – 2 weeks would be fine as long as your ingredients were fresh when you began.
I don’t have essential oil but I’ve got peppermint extract. Do you know how much of that I can substitute it with?
Yes! I would start with 1/4 – 1/2 Teaspoon, then taste and add more if necessary. 🙂
I was a flavored creamer addict as well! Now I mostly do bullet proof, sweetened a bit, but as the seasons change I still miss the flavored ones. A copycat pumpkin spice still eludes me (and believe me, I’ve tried numerous ones) but this looks like something that would tickle my taste buds. I am so making this!
I have a pumpkin spice extract I ordered from Louanns. If you leave out the chocolate and mint. You can use this recipe. I would start with 1/4 teaspoon of flavoring increase it if needed.
Would you have any suggestions on how to make this dairy free?
This sounds great, even though I’m not really a huge fan of peppermint mocha. Do you think I could sub caramel extract in place of the peppermint oil?
Yes! I hope to have a chocolate caramel flavor soon!
I’m so with you on the creamer addiction! I was a “do you want some coffee with your creamer” drinker LOL. I’d go through 2 of the 32oz jugs in a WEEK!! This looks delicious. Adding the mint extract to my shopping list!
Does this stay blended pretty well as it sits in the fridge? Can’t wait to try it!
Yes, I like to keep mine in a mason jar with a lid, so I can give it a shake before I use it.
