Toasted marshmallow coffee creamer
This really is my favorite time of the year! 🙂 The air is crisp and cool, just the right temperature to find plenty of comfort in warmth (and warmth in comfort).
And if you’re lucky enough to have a wood-burning fireplace in your house, that means the smell and warmth of burning wood and ashes.
You know what else completes that picture perfect setting, besides the company of your loved ones? A deliciously hot and steamy, indulgent drink to warm you up from the inside! And there’s no better place to start than with this Toasted Marshmallow Coffee Creamer!
I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like warm, gooey toasted homemade marshmallows . I mean, just saying those words out loud makes me all… (marsh)mellow.
Especially when the days and nights are getting colder, the sound and flavor of warm marshmallows are bound to put you in a good mood too. And that was just the reason why I made this creamer, so that I could add it to my coffees and start my day off with a bang!

How to make toasted marshmallow creamer
I made this a few times to get it just right. The first version was toasted marshmallows mixed with half and half. While it gave me the fluffy marshmallow mouthfeel, the caramelized flavor of toasted marshmallow was lost in the creamer.
Eventually, I realized that the only way to get the toasty marshmallow flavor in the creamer was by sweetening it with almost burnt sugar caramel.
So I made a dry caramel (to the point of being dark amber in color), and then made a creamer using it. Plus I added the marshmallows to melt with the caramel, and that way I got just the flavor that I was looking for in this toasted marshmallow creamer.
CLICK TO POUR!
It worked like a charm! It was so good that we mixed the creamer with some vodka and bourbon and made toasted marshmallow shooters too! 🙂 They were glorious!
All the sweetness, caramel flavor and fluffy goodness of toasted marshmallows in a sweet creamer, perfect for your morning coffees!
Storage and serving
This toasted marshmallow creamer will last about 2 weeks in the fridge and makes an excellent gift as well, especially during the holiday season. It’s the perfect way to flavor your warm drinks (and makes wicked cocktails too).
We have been treating ourselves to hot chocolate smores at night recently, flavoring our hot chocolate with this decadent creamer and then topping it with more toasted marshmallows.
Pair it with some homemade vanilla marshmallows and s’mores cookies for the ultimate mallow experience!
It’s a pretty decent way to spend a cold evening – only thing missing is that warm fireplace with the sound of crackling fire!
