This Golden Coffee Creamer, with its golden hue and warm spices, is love in a cup! Add it to coffee, hot chocolate, Crio Bru, or even warm milk for a comforting drink.

There’s something about the “Golden” flavor that makes that “everything is going to be okay” feeling just wash over me like a warm bath.

If you’re not familiar, “golden” drinks use spices like turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper to create the most comforting drink ever, surprising you with the tiniest kick of spice.

I first fell in love when I created this Golden Crio Bru and then again when my sister Cami created this Golden Powder Mix.

I thought to myself how amazing it would be to give my morning cup of Crio Bru a creamy Golden kick, and that is how this Golden Coffee Creamer was born.

HOW DOES IT TASTE:

Not to overuse this word on my blog or anything, but it is indeed HEAVENLY.

Before you even taste it, the warm smells of cinnamon and ginger make your heart skip a beat. Your kitchen will become the favorite room of the house (if it isn’t already).

The first sip is cinnamon and ginger forward, and then you get that curious earthy turmeric flavor, followed by the smallest kick of pepper spice in the back of your throat.

Sip it slow and intentionally and you’ll get to enjoy every step of this warm ride.

I swirl this Coffee Creamer into Crio Bru, but you can also use it in coffee, hot chocolate, or milk. My kids love to mix it with hot 2% milk, then use a frother to make it extra, EXTRA frothy.

Whatever you decide to pour it over, this creamer will take it to the “comfy, cozy, happy” level in seconds.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

USE LITE COCONUT MILK: Full-fat coconut milk tends to get solid chunks once cold. Lite works much better here!
SWEETENER OPTIONS: I love honey because it makes the creamer such a pretty color, but the maple syrup flavor also goes well with these spices.
SIMMER TIL THICK, BUT NOT TOO THICK: If you simmer this too long, it can end up having more of a caramel sauce consistency. This is great if you want to serve it over pancakes, but as a creamer, I suggest leaving it a bit thinner.

HOW TO STORE

Cool the creamer, then pour it into a jar or other container that you can pour from. Store in the fridge for a week or so.

OTHER WAYS TO USE GOLDEN COFFEE CREAMER

SYRUP: If you simmer this creamer until it’s extra thick, it is the most incredible waffle and pancake syrup imaginable!
TOPPING: It’s also good poured over yogurt or ice cream.

VARIATIONS

EXTRA SPICY: If you like extra spice, you can increase the pepper or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
DIFFERENT MILK: I haven’t tried it, but I suspect this would work with almond milk. I don’t think cow’s milk would pressure cook well; it tends to foam or curdle.

Oh friends, get excited for many, many cozy hot drinks in your near future. This is one of my top favorite recipes on the blog right now. I’m excited for you to try it out!

Enjoy!
