Ingredients You’ll Need
These ingredients are simple yet crucial for creating the perfect balance of creamy texture, chocolate richness, and cool peppermint zing. Each element plays a special role in flavor and mouthfeel, so have them ready before you start blending.
- ChocZero Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Spread: Adds a deep chocolate flavor with a subtle nutty undertone that makes the creamer indulgent without the sugar crash.
- Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend: Delivers sweetness naturally, keeping the creamer sugar-free while preserving smooth texture and clarity.
- Heavy Cream: Provides that luscious creaminess; feel free to swap with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option that’s just as rich.
- Unsweetened Almond Milk: Lightens the creamer just enough and adds a gentle nutty note; coconut milk beverage is a great sub if you want it nut-free.
- Peppermint Extract: Brings the festive mint aroma and flavor that makes this creamer truly special, adjustable to your personal taste.
How to Make Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients and adding them into a blender. The ChocZero spread, powdered sweetener blend, heavy cream, almond milk, and peppermint extract all go in together to ensure they emulsify smoothly, making a perfectly uniform creamer.
Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
Blend the mixture on medium speed for about 30 seconds until everything is fully combined and silky. This step is essential to break down any lumps and create the velvety texture that will complement your beverages beautifully.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Give your creamer a quick taste test. If you want your peppermint punch to be stronger, add a little more peppermint extract. This flexibility lets you tailor it exactly to your holiday cravings or everyday preference.

Garnishes
A swirl of whipped cream topped with crushed peppermint candies or a sprinkle of cocoa powder makes a stunning finishing touch. These simple garnishes add texture and visual appeal while enhancing the flavors in each sip.

Creative Ways to Present
Try drizzling this creamer over fresh fruit, using it to make a peppermint mocha smoothie, or even freezing it into popsicles for a refreshing treat. The versatility of the Sugar-Free Peppermint Mocha Creamer Recipe makes it perfect for experimenting beyond the mug.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover creamer in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator where it will keep fresh for up to one week. Give it a gentle shake or stir before using, as some separation is natural over time.
Freezing
This creamer freezes well in ice cube trays, perfect for quick additions to iced coffee or smoothies. Once frozen, pop the cubes into a freezer-safe bag and use within 2 months for best flavor.
Reheating
Warm your creamer gently on the stove or in the microwave before adding to your coffee or hot drink to get the full creamy effect. Avoid boiling as high heat can break down the cream and affect texture.
