Texas Butter Pecan
A buttery, nutty Texas butter pecan coffee creamer with toasted pecans, warm vanilla, brown sugar richness, and a cozy hint of cinnamon. Rich, smooth, and absolutely ready to make your coffee feel like it put on boots and got fancy.
Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter extract
1/2 teaspoon pecan extract
1/4 teaspoon maple extract, optional
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Toast pecans — Toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant. Add the butter and stir until melted.
Make the base — Pour in the heavy cream and add the light brown sugar. Stir until dissolved, then let steep over low heat for 5–10 minutes.
Remove from heat — Take the pan off the heat.
Add flavor — Stir in the vanilla extract, butter extract, pecan extract, optional maple extract, salt, and cinnamon.
Strain & bottle — Strain out the pecans, let cool, then bottle and refrigerate. Use within 5–7 days. Shake before using.
Tips
Do not boil the cream.
Shake before using.
Refrigerate after bottling.
Toast the pecans gently; burnt pecans go from “cozy bakery” to “campfire regret” real quick.
Creamsmiths Notes
This creamer is rich, buttery, and deeply nutty, with toasted pecan flavor up front and a creamy brown sugar finish. The vanilla and butter extracts round out the dessert-style richness, while the optional maple extract adds a little extra warmth without taking over.
Pairs especially well with a smooth, nutty, balanced medium roast coffee.
