Homemade Coffee Creamer makes a quick, easy, and delicious treat for your coffee! Made with just four ingredients and ready in minutes!
I love a cup of rich, delicious coffee in the mornings! There’s just nothing like it. And being able to make my own homemade coffee creamer is just about the best thing ever!
You see, when I was a little girl, my grandmother would let me have a little cup of coffee in the mornings with her for breakfast. She enjoyed her coffee on the lighter side, with plenty of cream and sugar. For my cup, she’d start it like her own, but then add even more cream so that I had we jokingly call a little coffee with my cream!
A few years ago, I decided enough was enough. I cut out my beloved creamer with my morning coffee to have more control over what I was drinking. I went cold turkey and did great for months. Right up until I tasted a cup of coffee at my sister’s house. She’d added just a dash of creamer to my cup and with one sip I knew I’d been missing that rich, creamy flavor for too long.
Yes, I can still have a cup of coffee without adding creamer to it from time to time – especially iced – but truth be told, there’s still too much of that little girl that sat at my grandmother’s kitchen table sipping on coffee so light you’d swear it just barely even had a splash of coffee in it!
But that day at my sister’s, I decided right then and there that I would start making my own flavored creamers. I tried so many combinations, but finally settled on this homemade coffee creamer recipe that I make most often.
Here’s my homemade coffee creamer recipe. I hope you love it as much as I do!

I have not tried this creamer yet. I have a question about it. Do you just shake everything together and not heat anything up over the stove top?
I just shake everything together, Nicole. I don’t heat the creamer as I am making it. I hope you enjoy!
Thank you for the recipe for coffee creamer. I am teaching ESL in Nicaragua and do not have cream (at least not like the cream in the States). Is there a good substitute I can use?
Carol, you can use all milk in place of the milk and the cream. The consistency won’t be as thick as if using cream, but it works well. Also, I actually also make a dairy-free version from time to time! To make it, I use almond milk and the thick, creamy portion from a can of coconut milk. You’ll save the liquid, watery portion from the can for other uses. I add these to a small saucepan over medium heat, along with the maple syrup. Stir until well combined and creamy. Then, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour into a glass jar with a tight fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to a week! I hope you these work for you! xo
You are a genius girl!! This is delicious and super simple to make. Definitely making sure I keep your recipe saved on my phone and written down! Great job!
Thanks, Krista. So glad you love this coffee creamer.
