What You’ll Need for Homemade Coffee Creamer

• 1 3/4 cups (14 fl oz/395 ml) milk (any type: whole, skim, almond, oat, etc.)
• 1 can (14 oz/395 g) sweetened condensed milk (substitute with coconut condensed milk for a dairy-free option)
• Flavorings of your choice (see below for specific flavor recipes)

How to Make Homemade Coffee Creamer

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sweetened condensed milk. Place over medium-low heat.
2. Whisk continuously until the mixture is heated through (about 5 minutes). Do not boil.
3. Remove from heat and stir in your chosen flavorings (see below for flavor options).
4. Let the creamer cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container or jar.
5. Store in the fridge for up to 6-7 days. Shake well before each use.

Flavor Variations

• Bailey’s Coffee Creamer: Add 1 tsp vanilla extract + 1 tbsp cocoa powder + 1 tbsp Irish cream syrup (or 1-2 tbsp whiskey for an adult version).
• French Vanilla Coffee Creamer: Add 2 tsp vanilla extract + 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (optional for extra flavor).
• Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer: Add 2 tbsp pumpkin puree + 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice + 1 tsp vanilla extract.

How to Customize Your Coffee Creamer

Experiment with different flavor combinations to make your coffee creamer truly unique. For a Bailey’s-inspired twist, add 1-2 teaspoons of cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

For French Vanilla, use 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for a richer flavor. For Pumpkin Spice, mix in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree for a seasonal treat.

Storage Tips for Freshness

Store your homemade coffee creamer in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 6-7 days. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur. For longer storage, consider freezing in ice cube trays and thawing as needed.

Perfect Pairings for Your Creamer

Pair your homemade creamer with your favorite coffee or tea for a cozy treat. Try it in iced coffee for a refreshing twist or add a splash to hot chocolate for extra creaminess. It’s also delicious in oatmeal or drizzled over desserts like brownies or pancakes.

Time-Saving Hacks

To save time, prepare a double batch and store it in two separate containers—one for now and one for later. Use a whisk or immersion blender to ensure the mixture is smooth and well-combined quickly. Pre-measure your flavorings ahead of time for even faster prep.
