Sweet and Creamy Coffee Creamer

If you’re looking for a way to elevate your daily brew while keeping things simple, this Homemade Sweet and Creamy Coffee Creamer is exactly what you need. With just a few pantry staples, you can whip up a creamer that’s tastier (and healthier!) than store bought versions and totally customizable to your flavor preferences.

Why Make Your Own Coffee Creamer?

It’s easy to grab a bottle of creamer at the store, but many commercial creamers are packed with artificial flavors, sweeteners, thickeners, and preservatives. When you make your own, you control the ingredients, sweetness, and creaminess. Plus, it’s fun experimenting with different flavors to match your mood or the season!

Homemade creamer is:

• Free of unnecessary additives
• Easily adjustable for sweetness and flavor
• More cost effective over time
• Simple to make with ingredients you probably already have

Once you try it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start making your own sooner!

How to Make Homemade Coffee Creamer

Making your own coffee creamer at home can seriously not be any easier than this recipe! 4 simple ingredients and it takes like 5 minutes to make.

Instructions:

1. Combine the ingredients. In a medium jar, bowl, or a bottle with a tight-fitting lid, pour in the sweetened condensed milk, half and half and both extracts.
2. Mix well. Shake or stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
3. Store. Keep your creamer in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to 7 days (but it usually gets used up before then!).
4. Enjoy! Add to your hot or iced coffee to taste.

Tip: Give the bottle a good shake before each use, as the ingredients can settle a bit.

THESE are the bottles that I like to use to keep my coffee creamer in and they are easy to pour from without making a mess!

Q & A

How long does homemade coffee creamer last?

Homemade creamer should be used within 7 days. Always give it a sniff or taste before adding to your coffee. If it smells off or has separated in a way that can’t be shaken back together, it’s time to make a fresh batch.

Can I make a larger batch?

Absolutely! Just double or triple the recipe, but be mindful of how much you’ll realistically use in a week. Since it doesn’t contain preservatives, it won’t last as long as store-bought creamers.

Can I use alternative sweeteners?

If you don’t want to use sweetened condensed milk, you can experiment with other sweeteners like maple syrup, honey, or agave.

You can also experiment with other flavors of extracts to make different flavors of creamer. Like adding peppermint extract and some cocoa for a peppermint mocha creamer. Or adding in a cake batter extract to make a fun cake flavored creamer. The possibilities are endless.

Once you try making your own creamer, you’ll be hooked. It’s fast, easy, and endlessly customizable. You can create seasonal flavors, adjust the sweetness, or even make fun creations like a peppermint mocha creamer during the holidays.

This homemade sweet and creamy coffee creamer is also a wonderful way to treat guests when you’re hosting brunch or a coffee date at home. Set out a few jars of different flavors and let everyone choose their favorite!
