Ingredients for Homemade Coffee Creamer

Create a delicious homemade creamer free from additives and preservatives. Plus, it’s easy to adjust to suit your taste buds!

• Heavy Cream + Half-and-Half: These are the base for this homemade coffee creamer’s rich and creamy texture. The combination gives the perfect balance of creaminess without being overly heavy, making it ideal for both hot coffee and iced coffee.
• Pure Maple Syrup: A natural and healthier alternative to refined sugar or corn syrup, maple syrup adds just the right sweetness while bringing a warm flavor. It’s the best way to create a sweet creamer without condensed milk.
• Pure Vanilla Extract: This is key for creating a classic vanilla flavor. Using real pure vanilla extract or even vanilla bean paste ensures a rich, authentic taste that pairs beautifully with the flavor of maple syrup.

How to Make Vanilla Maple Coffee Creamer

This method keeps things simple and mess-free, making it the easiest way to create your own homemade coffee creamer. The jar also doubles as the perfect storage container, ensuring your creamer stays fresh and ready for your next morning cup of coffee!

1. Add the heavy cream, half-and-half, pure maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract to a pint jar.
2. Stir well to ensure everything is thoroughly combined.
3. Place the lid on the jar and store it in the refrigerator.
4. Before each use, give the jar a good shake to mix the ingredients.

Your creamer will expire on the earliest expiration date between the half-and-half and heavy cream. Check the dates on those cartons and use the one that expires first.

Adjust the Recipe to Your Liking

• If you prefer a sweeter creamer, add more pure maple syrup to enhance the flavor.
• For a non-dairy option, swap out the heavy cream and half-and-half with alternatives like oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk for a creamy, plant-based twist.

Tips for Using Homemade Vanilla Maple Coffee Creamer

• Cold Brew Coffee: Add your desired amount of creamer directly to the cold brew. For a barista-style touch, use a handheld frother to create a creamy texture before pouring it over your coffee.
• Hot Coffee: Add 1–2 tablespoons of the creamer to your morning brew and stir well. Adjust the amount based on how creamy or sweet you like your coffee.
• Iced Coffee: Fill your glass with ice and pour your brewed coffee over it. Add the creamer to taste, then top off the glass with milk or half-and-half for extra creaminess.
