- Ground Nutmeg: Nutmeg adds a warm, spicy note that complements the sweetness beautifully. Freshly grated will give you the best flavor.

How to Make christmas Starbucks White Coffee Mocha Frappuccinos
Heat Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan. Set it over medium-low heat and gently warm it up while stirring often to prevent it from boiling. You want it just warmed through to activate the sweetness.
Add Half-and-Half: Once the condensed milk is warm, pour in the 2 cups of half-and-half (or your choice of milk) and stir until everything is beautifully smooth and well combined. You’ll notice a lovely, creamy texture forming as the two mix together.
Incorporate Spices and Extracts: Sprinkle in the ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and rum extract. Stir continuously to evenly distribute all the flavors, letting each spice mingle for a few moments. Keep it heating gently for an additional few minutes; the aroma will be heavenly!
Cool and Store: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool down a bit. Once it’s at room temperature, transfer your creamy mixture to a clean jar or bottle for easy storage. This creamer will be your secret weapon for crafting delicious frappuccinos throughout the holiday season!
Storing & Reheating
You can store your homemade Christmas Starbucks White Coffee Mocha Frappuccino creator at room temperature for up to a day before refrigerating it. Once in the fridge, use an airtight container and enjoy it within a week. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it for up to 3 months! When you’re ready to use it, thaw in the fridge overnight, and give it a quick stir before reheating gently in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, careful not to scald it. The texture may slightly change after freezing, so a good stir will help refresh it.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Avoid overheating the sweetened condensed milk; it should only be warmed through. Boiling can change the consistency and flavor.
- Using room temperature ingredients helps them mix more smoothly, so plan ahead if your milk is coming from the fridge!
- If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a splash of peppermint extract for a refreshing twist.
- For a thicker frappuccino, reduce the amount of half-and-half, or use heavy cream instead.
- This recipe can be doubled easily, perfect for holiday gatherings where you’ll want to impress more than just one friend or family member!
As we savor this sweet experience, remember the real magic of holiday drinks lies in the memories they create. This delightful Christmas Starbucks White Coffee Mocha Frappuccino is your canvas—feel free to get creative, switching up flavors or garnishes. Enjoy crafting special moments with every sip!
Recipe FAQs
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! To make the Christmas Starbucks White Coffee Mocha Frappuccino vegan, simply replace the half-and-half with your favorite non-dairy milk, such as almond milk or coconut cream. Opt for a vegan sweetened condensed milk made from coconut or almond for that luxurious sweetness.
What if I don’t have rum extract?
If you’re out of rum extract, don’t worry! You can substitute it with vanilla extract to add a different but delightful sweetness. Although it won’t have that warm, boozy flavor, it will still enhance the overall taste of your frappuccino beautifully.
Can I store the finished frappuccino?
Storing the finished frappuccino is not recommended as the texture may change, but you can keep the base mixture (the creamy part) in the refrigerator, as detailed earlier. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply blend it with ice until it reaches that perfect frappuccino consistency.
How can I garnish my frappuccino?
Garnishing your Christmas Starbucks White Coffee Mocha Frappuccino is all about personal preference! A dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even chocolate shavings can elevate the drink. For extra festive flair, add red and green sprinkles or a fun candy cane stirrer for that holiday touch!
