Dairy-free Cinnamon Roll Coffee Creamer
A cinnamon roll coffee creamer that’s dairy-free? Sign me up! This rich and creamy coffee creamer is bursting with cinnamon flavor. I’ll admit, I love my flavored lattes but unfortunately, my body doesn’t love them. I can tolerate small amounts of dairy (with minor consequences), however, rich and creamy lattes and flavored coffee creamers just don’t seem to jive well with me. So for those of you who also cannot tolerate dairy well, this creamer is for you!
Just like with my Paleo pumpkin coffee creamer, this dairy-free cinnamon roll coffee creamer uses coconut milk as the dairy replacement. Canned coconut milk is thick and creamy and makes the perfect coffee creamer. Store-bought coconut milk creamers tend to be watery and leave my coffee lifeless. With full-fat canned coconut milk, you get a rich, velvety result.
Recipe FAQs
What if I can’t find canned coconut milk?
Most grocery stores carry canned coconut milk these days. However, if you’re unable to find canned coconut milk you could also use canned coconut cream. Bottle coconut milk is much thinner and won’t warrant the same results. Or, if you’re an Amazon user, you could always order your canned coconut milk from there.
How long does homemade coffee creamer last?
You can store your homemade coffee creamer in an air-tight container, such as a mason or milk jar, in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
Do I need a milk frother or any special kitchen tools to make homemade coffee creamer?
Not necessarily. I always like to blend my coffee with either a milk frother, immersion blender, or even throw it into a full-size blender with a scoop of collagen, however, none of those are absolutely necessary. I find that it creates a more velvety texture – similar to a latte when you do blend them together.
How do I store homemade coffee creamer?
You’ll want to store the coffee creamer in an air-tight container – such as a milk jar or mason jar. It will also need to be refrigerated as well.

I made this and stored in the fridge overnight and it solidified. Any ideas what I did wrong?
Hmm, I’ve never had that happen. Did you use the liquid from the canned coconut milk? Did you use coconut cream instead of coconut milk? It’s most likely the coconut milk solids firming up in the cold temperature. However, it normally shouldn’t do that once it’s all been blended together.
Wow what a great idea! This looks sooooo yummy! I eat low carb and am always trying to get more coconut milk in my diet for the excellent source of healthy fats. I’m going to give this a try! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks, Aleta! Coconut milk is the best non-dairy option for me, especially having a nut allergy.
What size can of coconut milk should I use?
Use 13.5 oz. cans. I updated the recipe to reflect that. Thank you!
