Instant Gingerbread Coffee

I make this coffee whenever I have a craving for anything gingerbread.  I top the coffee with Reddi Wip Whipping Cream, then lightly sprinkle on a bit of McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice. 




Instant Gingerbread Coffee 

1-1/2 teaspoons instant coffee (or decaf instant coffee)

1 cup boiling water

1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus an 1/8 teaspoon as well

2-1/2 teaspoons unsulphured molasses
 (See *Note)

3 Tablespoons Half & Half cream

Reddi Wip Whipped Cream (to garnish coffee)

pumpkin pie spice (a light sprinkle to garnish coffee)


1.)  In a coffee cup mix together, the instant coffee, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus an 1/8 teaspoon as well.

2.)  Add the boiling water and molasses, and stir.

3.)  Stir in the Half & Half.

4.)  Garnish coffee with the Reddi Wip.

5.)  Lightly sprinkle a bit of pumpkin pie spice over the whipped topping, and serve.

6.)  This makes: 1 serving. 

7.) *Note: For this coffee, be sure to use unsulphured molasses.  
It really adds flavor to the coffee.  Whatever you do, do not use a mild molasses, as it's just too bland, and doesn't add much flavor.
