Ingredient Breakdown for Your Creamy Delight
To whip up this delicious homemade coffee creamer, here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk: This is where the creaminess comes from! If you’re feeling dairy-free, coconut milk will add a lovely tropical vibe!
- 1 cup milk or almond milk: Use whole milk for that rich taste, or almond milk if you prefer something lighter.
- 1/2 cup sweetener: You can use sugar, maple syrup, or even a sugar substitute if you’re watching your intake. I personally love the flavor of maple syrup, it adds that cozy touch!
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract: This brings everything together with a delicious sweetness.
- Optional flavors: Let’s be honest, flavoring your homemade coffee creamer is where the fun begins! You can add a splash of pumpkin spice for fall vibes, some peppermint extract for the holidays, or a touch of hazelnut flavor for a nutty finish.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Combine your base: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream (or coconut milk) and 1 cup of milk (or almond milk). Give it a good stir until well combined. You want to see that smooth texture coming together!
Sweeten it up: Pour in 1/2 cup of your chosen sweetener and your 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed. You should smell that comforting aroma of vanilla wafting up, so good!
Add optional flavorings: If you want to get fancy, now’s the time. Pour in any optional flavoring ingredients, like pumpkin spice or peppermint extract. Mix well until it’s all combined. (And I recommend tasting it at this stage to see if it needs a little more sweetness or spice, just saying!)
Transfer to a bottle: Grab a clean bottle or jar and pour your mixture in. I like to use a mason jar because, well, I can never get enough of those! Seal it up and give it a gentle shake to combine again.
Refrigerate: Store your homemade coffee creamer in the refrigerator for up to a week. Trust me, you’ll want to make this a regular staple!
Shake before using: Since you’ll be storing it, be sure to give it a good shake before each use to mix everything back together. You don’t want any of that settling business!
Now you’re all set to pour a splash of joy into your morning coffee!
