Butterscotch Coffee Creamer
I’m a coffee addict! I love the taste and, with the number of hours I spend every day on the site, a few cups of Joe ☕ keep me alert and boosts my energy. Many times, I like to enhance the taste and pour in some of this…
Coffee Creamer!
I make them from scratch! I’m not too crazy about the commercial brands as many use unhealthy trans fats along with chemicals such as cellulose gum or carrageenan both thickening agents, plus preservatives and artificial flavors. Most of them don’t even contain cream or milk 🥛…
Once every few months, I spoil us with the “real” homemade stuff! The ones David and I enjoy the most are French Vanilla, Hazelnut, Pumpkin Spice, Caramel Latte, Gingerbread, and this one… Butterscotch Coffee Creamer!
Like any of them, this recipe is very easy to make 👩🍳👨🍳 and the flavor is incredible! Smooth and velvety, this is a tasty way to boost your coffee’s flavor! When I want to indulge and spike our morning beverage, this is the condiment that I make! It’s rich so enjoying it in moderation is wise.
The process is very simple. The butterscotch chips are slowly melted in a bain marie (double boiler… same difference) along with half-and-half. The only advice I can give you is to play your favorite music 🎶 because it takes time.
What about using the microwave? Of course, it will be faster to make but I’m not a fan of it. As much as it would expedite the process, a couple seconds too long and the mixture can be burned. The double boiler might take time but it never fails.
How to use it properly…
Add a little bit of water 💧 in a pot before placing a bowl that sits tightly – it can be a stainless steel or glass bowl. It’s important that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water otherwise it will get too hot and might scorch or curdle the ingredients. Leave a little gap in between.
Setting the burner on medium-low, the rising steam from the simmering water with slowly warm up the contents. The indirect heat will gently melt or temper the ingredients. I use this method often when melting chocolate 🍫.
Making Butterscotch Coffee Creamer is a treat as long as you don’t add butter 🧈. There’s already some in the chips. Many make the mistake of adding some and every time it’s transferred to the fridge, the texture solidifies due to the butter.
When the chips are finally melted – I’m serious, it takes time! -, the rest of the ingredients go in including milk. I use 1% although 2% is still reasonable. I highly suggest to stay away from homo as the mixture is already thick enough.
If you’re a true coffee lover, don’t spoil it with the chemical poison sold at the store and enjoy a nice cup of Joe topped with this decadent Butterscotch Coffee Creamer…
Enjoy! ☕
