In our house, we can’t start our day off without a good cup of coffee, maybe two or three, depending on how good or bad our previous nights sleep was. We’ve tried just about every flavored creamer there is on the market and realized that when we finally found one that we really loved, we were spending a lot of money on something we could easily make ourselves.
With just a few ingredient changes, you can make a number of different flavored homemade creamers. You’ll be surprised how easy it really is!
The idea is to get creative and create your own homemade creamer flavors! The possibilities are endless.
You can also adjust the ingredients based on how sweet you like your coffee. Love it sweet? Use a sweetened condensed milk and sweetened almond milk.
Prefer it less sweet, get the unsweetened condensed milk and an unflavored milk. I’ve actually found that I no longer need to add sugar to my coffee, if my creamer is already sweet!
Here are some of our favorites:
Chocolate Almond:
1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
2 tbsp chocolate syrup or cocoa powder
1/2 tsp almond extract
Coconut Caramel:
1 3/4 cups coconut milk
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
2 tbsp caramel sauce/topping
1 tsp coconut extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Hazelnut:
1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
2 tbsp chocolate syrup or cocoa powder
1 tsp hazelnut extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
Almond Joy:
1 3/4 cups coconut milk
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
2 tbsp chocolate syrup or cocoa powder
1/2 tsp almond extract

Cinnamon:
1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Caramel Coconut:
1 3/4 cups coconut milk
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
1 tbsp caramel sauce/topping
1 tbsp chocolate syrup or cocoa powder
1 tsp coconut extract
And some of our favorite holiday and fall flavors:
Pumpkin Spice:
1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
3 tbsp pumpkin puree
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Peppermint Mocha:
1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
2 tbsp chocolate syrup or cocoa powder
1 tsp peppermint extract
Eggnog:
1 3/4 cups milk of your choice (almond milk, whole, fat free, etc.)
14 oz condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp rum extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
Once you create your homemade creamers, they can be stored in glass bottles (we actually reuse these bottles from drinks we pick up at the grocery store when we’re in a hurry). Although we go through creamer pretty quickly in our house, I recommend using a marker to write the expiration date on each bottle (I use the date from the milk we use).
Also, if you want to get fancy, you can get this adorable label maker on Amazon for less than $10 and create your own labels for each flavor!

Just wondering how long these last in refrigerator

Hi Andrew – We usually use each bottle within a week. I’ll write the expiration date of the milk on the lid and keep them in an air tight container.
Not sure if I missed it, but how long will it last. You mentioned expiration date and writing it on container.

I write the expiration date of the milk I use.
I just made the chocolate almond creamer. YUM! Used the cocoa powder, and did add a little vanilla extract as well. LOVE these recipes! For my own taste, I may try less sweetened condensed milk and use more regular milk for the next batch.
Thank you for the great recipes!

I love this!! I have been trying to find alternatives to the store bought creamers as they are full of bad stuff and loads of sugar. I have been looking for one made with stevia–I’m going to try making my own!! Thanks!!
I am glad I came across this post. I have not tried making my own creamer, but you made it look so easy. I am going to try making the chocolate hazelnut one first. That has always been a favorite flavor of mine.
