This easy homemade coffee creamer with condensed milk recipe requires just 3 ingredients! Add any flavors you love for the best morning coffee! If you’re a coffee drinker, listen up!
I made homemade coffee creamer the other day and it was amazing!! We drink coffee every morning using either vanilla or hazelnut creamer. Then I thought “it couldn’t be that hard to make this”. Yesterday I thought I’d give it a whirl. I was surprised at how easy it was and now love that you can make any flavored coffee creamer using this basic recipe. Not only is it cheaper but you know exactly what is in it. Dairy free coffee creamer options available too. (originally published 6/16, affiliate links present)
Dairy Free Homemade Coffee Creamer
You can even make this dairy free if you need it, I’ll explain both below. First I grabbed two mason jars I had (I knew 1 wouldn’t be quite big enough for 1 batch). Since we like two flavors I decided to split my basic mixture in half. One jar would be vanilla bean creamer and the other would be hazelnut.
If you love peppermint creamer during the holidays this is a great way to make that before it shows up in stores! My favorite holiday mocha has both chocolate and mint so that duo is easy to create as well. Just like Starbucks! Pumpkin spice coffee creamer was probably our favorite seasonal flavor we made recently and shared here too.
How to Make Coffee Creamer with Condensed Milk
If you are lactose intolerant like my husband there is an alternative for you, that tastes just as great. I have both listed below so use what you need for your household. If you use almond milk I would use vanilla, unless you’re adding a different extract of course for flavor.
- Sweetened Condensed milk
- Or condensed coconut milk for dairy free creamer
- You can even occasionally find sugar free condensed milk too
- Milk
- Could use coconut milk, cashew or almond milk for dairy free
- Mason jars can be used to store this in the fridge
- Flavors
- Vanilla extract
- Almond
- Peppermint extract
- Hazelnut extract
- Could even use some chocolate syrup if you wanted
We used these two flavors of extract but you can use any flavors you like. Make a few batches and keep them in mason jars in your fridge. Then you’ll have choices in the morning, or when friends come over.
Depending on what flavored coffee creamer you want it may be cheaper than buying it in the store. Some flavors are seasonal too so now you can make them year round! Just order the extract you like and keep it in your cupboard!
Homemade Coffee Creamer Recipe
I love the fact that I know exactly what is in the creamer I am consuming. Mix and match to create just the right flavors we like in our coffee.
I hope you give this easy homemade coffee creamer recipe a try and love it as much as we do. Fiddle with the flavors to make it just the way you like it and you may discover something new that you love. I assure you…you will probably never go back to buying store bought coffee creamer again. 😉
- I am sure you have a coffee maker of some kind but if yours is in need of replacement this is my favorite one we’ve ever had.
Step 1 – Grab a larger container you can close tightly. I like using mason jars to mix and for storage. They are inexpensive at Walmart or find mason jars are online . Whatever you use make sure there’s a lid that seals tight.
Step 2 – Pour your ingredients into your sealable storage container. If you have two smaller mason jars then put half your ingredients into each one.
Step 3 – Seal your lid and shake to combine everything well.
Step 4 – Open it up and taste a bit to see if you want more extract to be added.
Then enjoy in your coffee and store the rest in your refrigerator. Shake well before each use or else the heavier ingredients will sink to the bottom. If you then pour it out without at least swirling it around it will just be milk and a bit of extract flavor.

Homemade Coffee Creamer with Condensed Milk
Below is a recipe for homemade french vanilla coffee creamer. If you’re making non dairy coffee creamer then use the alternatives I suggest above. Substitute other extracts if you want a different flavor combination.
- Enjoy your cup of coffee my friend!
Homemade Coffee Creamer
Ingredients
- 1 can condensed milk, 14 oz
- 1 3/4 cup milk, any variety, 2% or whole is best
- 2 tsp vanilla extract, or other flavor, amounts will vary depending on how strong you want it
- 1 tsp almond extract, or other flavor combination
Instructions
- Get a 32 oz. container or 2 16 oz. mason jars, (I like mason jars because you can shake and be done).
- Pour the condensed milk, milk (I would suggest NOT using fat free, at least 2% makes it creamier), and then add the flavors you like.
- If you are only using vanilla flavor then add all 2 tsp., if you are mixing 2 then use 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp. another flavor (like almond). Shake, shake, shake, and done!!!
- Refrigerate and every time you take it out to use some shake it again, and then pour into coffee.

I don’t see where or how to ask a question on this page. So, how long does this last in the fridge? How long can I freeze it for? How many cups of coffee will you get on average from one batch?
Lasts about a week. Hard to say how many cups, depends on how much you use each time, maybe 24??? I have never frozen it.
I used 2 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp almond extract. This was the best. No more store bought creamers. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh good!!
I ran out of creamer and remember stumbling across this recipe. It is delicious, easy and super time efficient. Enjoyed my cup of coffee! Quart size Mason jar worked perfectly with reusable plastic lid.
Oh yay!!
How do these ingredients equal 32 oz? What did I miss?
Husband ran out of creamer and had a rough day. I felt bad so I ran to the kitchen to make this. We didn’t have any sweetened condensed milk on hand so I made my own. Not too hard! Mixed it all together and he likes it! He’s pretty picky about his creamer, too.
Oh good!
This is so delicous and I like it so much better than store bought. It’s great to be able to adjust it to my own tastes.
Agree!
This is such a great idea to avoid all the additives and gums in store bought stuff. Love being able to control the ingredients and flavor in my coffee and the almond extract is perfect!
I really like it and I used cream of coconut instead of milk. Very good.
I think this sounds amazing , and everything is much better homemade, as well as better for us
Thank you for sharing this I’m definitely going to be doing this 😊
How long do they last? I love making these, but I am finding it isbgettubg gooey. 🙁 I made a fresh batch, but wondering on the longevity in the creamer. Thanks for the recipes.
Everything I’ve read says it will last as long as the expiration date on the milk you used.
