Learn how to make creamy, rich homemade vanilla coffee creamer in just five minutes using simple ingredients. This recipe tastes better than store-bought versions and lets you control what goes into your morning cup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Half and Half (or whole milk for a lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk (or substitute with 1/4 cup granulated sugar plus 1/4 cup regular milk for a condensed milk free creamer)
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract (use pure extract for best flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients: Half and Half, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
  2. Pour the Half and Half and your chosen sweetener (sweetened condensed milk or sugar/milk mix) into a jar or airtight container.
  3. Add the vanilla extract.
  4. Seal the container tightly.
  5. Shake the mixture well until everything is fully combined and the creamer looks smooth and uniform.
  6. Store the creamer in the refrigerator. It is ready to use immediately in your favorite coffee.

Notes

  • For a French Vanilla flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla extract.
  • To make a Brown Sugar Coffee Creamer, substitute the granulated sugar with packed light brown sugar, or reduce the white sweetener slightly and add 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar.
  • For a Salted Caramel flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce to the base recipe before shaking.
  • If you want a dairy-free coffee creamer DIY option, substitute the Half and Half with full-fat canned coconut milk or oat milk.
