I have a super easy and super yummy Homemade Coffee Creamer recipe for you to try. Personally, my favorite flavor is French Vanilla, so this is the flavor I chose to make my cup of coffee.

It does not freezer well. You can freeze it, but it will separate as it thaws, so you will want to shake It before each use.
Storing Creamer Tips
- Storing – Store your homemade creamer in a mason jar with a lid or a sealed container. We recommend using the creamer within about 2 weeks of making it or before your milk expires. Store in the back of your fridge as that seems to be the coldest area.
- Freezing – We do not recommend freezing homemade creamer as the dairy does not freeze well.

Could I use regular 2% milk instead of almond milk?
Yes, you can! The flavor will be slightly different but will still taste great!
Store it turning the container upside down and it will last months! This was an awesome recipe
Oh great tip! Thank you for sharing Diana and thank you for the positive review!
Made it with whole milk sure is great and easy.
So glad you loved it!
I made this and used Coconut extract! Amazing!
This recipe is so easy! I won’t buy coffee creamer again! I use half and half and flavor with vanilla and it reminds me of sweet cream. Thank you for the recipe!
Very good. I made it with chocolate whole milk 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup 1 percent white milk. Definitely keeping this recipe.
Just made the French Vanilla and it is very good! I’d rather have this than ready made:)
Thank you for your recipe. You have made my recipe hunt so simple. I haven’t tried this yet but I will as soon as I get sweetened condensed milk. I love maple syrup in my coffee, so I am going to make maple coffee creamer. I will also use oat milk instead of almond milk 🙂
Do you use unsweetened almond milk?
Yes, but any will work for this recipe!
Can this be made without the condensed milk? Thanks!
I haven’t tried that before. You can substitute with a homemade sweetened condensed milk. However, I do find that the condensed milk add the sweetness and thickness to this coffee creamer. If you find a great substitute or use the homemade version let us know how it turns out!
Oh My gosh…This is the best creamer ever…I haven’t used any other since I started making it…so rich so creamy I could have it all day long…
I have also sampled the others but I always come back to vanilla…mmmmm so good
oh My! Thank You! I was buying 3 big bottles every month of French Vanilla Creamer for just myself! I finally can enjoy fresh Creamer and save money too! Thank You, Also Amaretto is my Favorite flavor!
I missed seeing the stars before. This is tasty & so easy to make!! I add liquid stevia-vanilla for the flavor.
This is delicious & so super easy to make. I like adding some liquid stevia-vanilla, for the extra flavor boost.
This is a great recipe. Easy and tasty
Thank you for sharing. My question is per serving is 48 calories. Would a serving be a tablespoon? Just trying to calculate it for Weight Watchers. Thank you!
Yes, 1 serving is approximately 1 Tbsp. Thank you!
wow! Thanks so much! Tried this with 30 cal per cup Almond milk. My favorite is vanilla cream.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing!
How would you make vanilla caramel creamer? This is my favorite.
I haven’t tried it before, but I think you could add some caramel syrup to this recipe and it would work great. Thank you!
How do I make cinnamon coffee creamer?
I haven’t tried it but I would try add 1/2 tsp of Cinnamon in this recipe instead of the Vanilla Extract. Thank you!
Almond milk makes me sick, is there anything else that can be substituted?
Yes, Oat Milk or Soy Milk would work great in this recipe too!
