This sweet, Homemade Coffee Creamer recipe can be used in coffee or tea. It is made with 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and water, or for a creamier option, you can use milk or half-and-half. It is infused with pure vanilla extract, but can be customized with other extracts or even Baileys or rum for a boozy option. This creamer is so fast and easy to make for yourself or as an edible gift!
Hi Everyone, this Homemade Coffee Creamer is so easy to make and super fast!
I made this the other day after running out of half and half (my usual favorite, standard coffee creamer), and it blew my mind away with how simple it was to make that I knew I had to share it right away with you.
I give 2 options of how to make it: One in a small-medium size saucepan over low heat (to get it to mix together) or a no-heat option where you just add the ingredients and shake it together in a large mason jar!
If you make this recipe and like it, please give it a rating on the recipe card and let us know in the comments at the end of the post.
Thank you for reading and following along!

Vanilla Extract: You can experiment with the same amount of another kind of extract to make customized Homemade Coffee Creamers, for example, mint, peppermint, or almond. You could even do a boozy option with Baileys or rum. Check out our How to Make Homemade Vanilla Extract recipe tutorial.
Sweetened Condensed Milk Alternative: You can use evaporated milk as a non-sweet substitute for the sweetened condensed milk, if you don't want it to be sugary or if you want to control the amount of sugar in the creamer.
Storage: Mark the storage bottle or container with the date you made the Homemade Coffee Creamer and use up within 1 week of opening the milk (generally, 4-7 days) or sweetened condensed milk (generally, 5-7 days, after opening) you used in the recipe, whichever is sooner. Store in a sealed, air-tight container, in the refrigerator.
