Cozy Up with Homemade Toasted Marshmallow Coffee Creamer

Here at Life Happens Coffee Helps, we love all things cozy! From chunky sweaters to crackling fireplaces, something about coziness makes you want to curl up with a warm drink. And what’s better than a warm drink made even more delicious with a touch of homemade goodness? Today, I’m sharing my recipe for Toasted Marshmallow Coffee Creamer – it’s the perfect way to add a touch of sweetness and warmth to your morning (or afternoon!) cup of joe.

Forget the store-bought stuff loaded with artificial flavors and preservatives.

This creamer is incredibly easy to make at home, and the taste is out of this world. The toasty, caramelized flavor of the marshmallows combined with the creamy sweetness is simply divine. It’s like a campfire in a mug!

What You’ll Need:

• 1 cup mini marshmallows (the regular-sized ones work too, but minis melt faster)
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Let’s Get Toasting!

1. Toast the Marshmallows: This is where the magic happens! Spread the marshmallows in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet under your broiler on low for about 1 minute, keeping a close eye on them. You want them to get beautifully browned and slightly toasted but not burnt. They can go from perfectly toasted to charred quickly, so watch them carefully!
   
2. Make the Syrup: While the marshmallows are toasting (or after, if you prefer to do this step first), combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. This usually takes just a few minutes.
   
3. Melt the Marshmallows: Add the toasted marshmallows to the sugar water. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The marshmallows will gradually melt and dissolve into the syrup. Be patient; this process takes a little time.
   
4. Flavor and Cool: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely. Once cooled, stir in the vanilla extract.
   
5. Store and Enjoy: Transfer the toasted marshmallow creamer to an airtight container (a mason jar works perfectly!). Store it in the refrigerator.
   

Tips and Tricks for the Best Toasted Marshmallow Coffee Creamer:

• Don’t Over-Toast: Burnt marshmallows will give your creamer a bitter taste.
• Watch the Syrup: Keep an eye on the sugar water while it’s simmering. You don’t want it to boil over.
• Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet creamer, you can reduce the amount of sugar.
• Get Creative: Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra touch of flavor.
• Gelatin Warning: Marshmallows contain gelatin, which can cause the syrup to thicken or even solidify when refrigerated. If this happens, simply warm the creamer gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before using.

This homemade toasted marshmallow coffee creamer is the perfect way to elevate your coffee game. It’s so much better than anything you can buy in the store, and it’s surprisingly simple to make. So, grab your marshmallows, brew a fresh pot of coffee, and get ready to cozy up! You won’t regret it.
