A delightful homemade coffee creamer with a festive peppermint and white chocolate flavor.
Pour the half-and-half into a medium saucepan.
Using half-and-half gives the creamer a rich and creamy texture.
Add the white chocolate chips and sugar to the saucepan.
Stir constantly to prevent the chocolate from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Do not let the mixture boil to avoid curdling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peppermint extract.
Add the peppermint extract off the heat to preserve its flavor.
Allow the creamer to cool slightly, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate.
Shake the container before each use to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
