Beyond stirring it into your daily cup of coffee, here are a few more delicious things you can do with it:

Shake Before Each Use
Shaking ensures an even distribution of ingredients and maintains a creamy consistency.
Storing Homemade Creamer
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, but freshness can vary based on the expiration dates of your half and half and eggnog. Freezing is not recommended, as it can alter the flavor and texture.
Recipe Tips
- Freshness is Key: Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and longevity. Your eggnog coffee creamer will only be as good as the quality of the components you put into it. Opt for recently purchased sweetened condensed milk, eggnog, and half and half to ensure a rich and delicious creamer that enhances your morning brew. Using fresh ingredients not only elevates the taste but also extends the shelf life, allowing you to enjoy the festive flavors throughout the holiday season.
- Blending Caution: Avoid blending in a blender to prevent thickening; instead, whisk or stir gently.
- Say No to Pudding-Based Eggnog: Steer clear of pudding-based eggnogs, as they can lead to excessive thickness and an undesirable film in your coffee.
- Mind the Spike: Opt for basic store-bought eggnog to avoid unintended morning buzz.
- Coconut Infusion: For a delightful tropical twist, experiment with using condensed sweetened coconut milk. This adds a unique and exotic flavor profile to your Eggnog Coffee Creamer, providing a hint of coconut that beautifully complements the festive spices.
