Dairy Free Vanilla Coffee Creamer

For years I’ve been on the hunt for a good dairy free coffee creamer – the only problem is so many of the store-bought options either contain nuts or are watery and leave my coffee lifeless. Because of this, I’ve created a collection of homemade dairy free coffee creamers and all of our homemade dairy free coffee creamer recipes are rich and creamy – which create a delicious, velvety cup of coffee every time.

Ingredients needed

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 vanilla bean pod
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar

How to make dairy free vanilla coffee creamer

Add the full-fat coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla bean to a saucepan.

If you’ve never opened up a vanilla bean pod, simply take a knife and slice down the vanilla bean pod lengthwise – then scoop out the vanilla bean seeds.

Heat the ingredients over medium heat – whisking to combine – until it comes to a low simmer. Then reduce heat to low and let cook for 20 minutes.

Transfer to a milk jar or other air-tight container and let cool. Store in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.

Recipe FAQs

What is a good non-dairy substitute for coffee creamer?

Any non-dairy milk product can be a good substitute for coffee creamer. Because of my nut allergy, I am unable to use products such as almond or cashew milk. Instead, I find full-fat coconut milk and coconut oil as good substitutes for coffee creamer and still get that rich velvety texture with my coffee. 

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.

Ingredients

Scale
