Make this easy homemade coffee creamer using simple ingredients. This vanilla base recipe tastes better than store-bought and is ready in minutes for your morning coffee routine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Half and Half (or milk/cream combination for desired richness)
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 34 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the half and half, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
  4. Allow the creamer to cool slightly before pouring it into an airtight container, like a glass jar.
  5. Store the homemade coffee creamer in the refrigerator. It lasts up to two weeks.
  6. Shake well before each use. Use 2 to 3 tablespoons per cup of coffee.

Notes

  • For a richer, cafe style coffee creamer, substitute the half and half with heavy cream.
  • To make this a brown sugar creamer recipe, substitute the granulated sugar with packed light brown sugar.
  • For a dairy free coffee creamer option, use full-fat canned coconut milk or oat milk instead of dairy products.
  • If you want a sugar-free coffee creamer, replace the sugar with your preferred zero-calorie sweetener, adjusting the amount to your preference.
