French vanilla coffee creamer
I have often asked myself, “how do they make French Vanilla coffee creamer?”. I walk by those fancy creamers in the grocery store. I won’t put them in my basket because I feel like store-bought coffee creamers have artificial flavors and are filled with a lot of different chemicals.
I want fancy flavors in my coffee from time to time. When I have guests, I like to offer something unique. This homemade creamer is all of that and more.
What makes homemade French vanilla creamer so good?
The delicate sweetness of this creamer is sure to impress anyone who tries it. You can enjoy it in both hot and iced coffees.
It’s perfect for adding to a coffee bar when you have guests over, whether they’re just visiting or you’re hosting a party. Everyone loves the indulgent taste it adds to their coffee!
Some creamer recipes use half-and-half or even fresh milk. However, this one uses condensed and evaporated milk, which is the perfect consistency and doesn’t water your coffee down!
It is also easily adjustable if you want to try adding other flavored extracts, such as almond or maple.
Why you’ll love this recipe
You don’t need to cook this creamer on the stovetop; all you need is a blender to make it. It only takes 5 minutes to whip up. Now, there is no reason why you shouldn’t make your own creamer. After all, it saves money, too!
By using canned milk, the flavors you create will be rich and very satisfying.
Moreover, since the condensed milk is already sweetened, you don’t need to add any sugar. The vanilla extract perfectly complements it.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make homemade vanilla coffee creamer:
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Evaporated milk
- Vanilla extract
That’s it! Just 3 simple ingredients.
How to make French vanilla creamer
- Pour all the ingredients into a blender.
- Blend until well combined, about 30 seconds.
- Pour the mixture into a container or small pitcher.
How to make it dairy-free
It’s pretty simple to make a dairy-free alternative to sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk.
To make dairy-free sweetened condensed milk, simmer the following ingredients on the stove until it is nice and thick:
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
Dairy-free evaporated milk is also really simple. Let your favorite milk alternative (oat milk, soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk) simmer on the stove until it is reduced by half.
How to use this creamer
Stir this creamer in your preferred morning cup of coffee, such as homemade cold brew coffee or hot brewed coffee.
You can even include it in blended drinks like fruit smoothies, protein smoothies, or milkshakes to give them a sweeter and richer flavor! If you want to get creative, add a dash of it to your French toast custard mix, pancake mix, or oatmeal.
How to store homemade coffee creamer
Make sure to keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container, such as a sealed mason jar or a glass bottle with an airtight stopper.
How long will it last?
As long as you store it correctly in the fridge, this creamer will last up to 10 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can choose to use the full-fat versions or the low-fat sweetened and condensed milk. I like to use the full-fat version because it adds a nice flavor. The coffee tastes perfectly sweet with the two types of milk.

We have a lactose intolerant family, do you have a lactose free recipe?

I would buy lactose free milk and try to make a simple sugar syrup and add some vanilla to it. It won’t last as long, but it should work fine.
