Caramel Coffee Creamer

The caramel recipe makes twice what you need for the coffee creamer recipe. You can store the caramel in the fridge to use for another coffee creamer recipe or use it to drizzle over ice cream. I also have a few recipes for dairy free and sugar free coffee creamer.Makes about 2 1/2 cups

For the Caramel:
3/4 cup organic whole cane sugar or sucanat
5 tablespoons water
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

For the Creamer:
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup homemade caramel

For Caramel:
Pour whole cane sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer until mixture reaches 240ºF. Remove from heat and whisk in cream and vanilla. Cool.

For Creamer:
Whisk together cream, milk and caramel in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the mixture begins to steam, remove from the heat. Pour into a glass bottle and store in the refrigerator.

      I don't drink coffee but while living in Ireland for a couple of years and the soda I drank not being available...it was inevitable ...I became a hot tea drinker...nothing fancy just a good black tea...twinnings or bigelow...then came spiced tea...chai in American speak....then vanilla latte....so now ....here I sit buying Twinnings Ultra Spice Chai tea buy the case from amazon...and draining walmart dry regularly for the Coffeemate...at nearly $4.00 a jar...and the way I drink it gets pricey quick. I use Stevia drops for sweetening . So I really just need some help coming as close to coffeemate vanilla latte as I can without breaking my single mother bank

    Hi! I am making the caramel recipe and wanted to use raw milk, but was worried about using the "good stuff" when I'm going to be heating it. :) Does it have to be heated until steaming? I just used some organic-already-pasteurized cream to make the caramel, and used the pasteurized stuff for the creamer this time, but wondered in the future if I could just mix it and leave it cold? Or will it not mix well enough?

    Thank you for your time & effort put into sharing these with us!! I just got off the HCG diet and learned so many things. My biggest weakness is Coffee Mate. I've been searching for a while on a good recipe. Yours looks like a good one to try first. ;). My problem is I started in French Vaniila, but have been hooked on the Creme Brûlée for years. None of the other flavors come even close for me. Weird.. Cuz I like to try new things. Do you have any ideas to come close to the Creme brûlée flavor? And I have been substituting with coconut milk a lot. But not all things. It seems coconut milk is not very creamy. What is your opinion on it? Thanks so much!!

    My friend just posted the first coffee creamer post on my fb page. She knows I LOVE my coffee creamer even though I have tried many times to get away from it. I am going to try the peppermint mocha. I love it BUT my absolute fav is the Toffee Nut by Coffee Mate. I'm an addict. If you ever want to try and reproduce something like that one, I will buy the recipe!!! Thank you for sharing. Cheers~Ivy

    I live in Singapore where coffee creamer costs $11-13 a bottle and half and half is 9 bucks for a small container. And they use sweetened condensed milk for creamer in most places here. I am SO excited about this. After 10 months of no coffee creamer, I just made the regular vanilla and am so thrilled with the results. I'll be thanking you every morning when I indulge! My plain coffee with milk and sugar was getting boring. This is so fabulous- all of my expat friends are just as excited as I am! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Hi, Thank you so much for your website. I have been buying commerical plain coffee creamer because I don't like my coffee black. I know that it is so bad for you, but....where I live (Japan) one can't easily find heavy cream. I have never seen it for sale in a store. I even went on a quest looking for it some months ago...on my island, it's not available. Do you have an idea for a substitue? Thank you!

    Honestly, the clouds lifted and i heard a choir of angels singing this morning when i found these recipes. I live in Sweden and they have a far more task oriented coffee culture than Americans. A half cup of strong, black coffee (maybe a bit of milk but NO sugar) in the morning and afternoon and that is it. I have had to have creamer brought over from the U.S. And TWICE my boyfriend was stopped in customs while they rigoriously examined the contents of the cans of white powder coffeemate! Thank you so much for coming up with these! I cannot wait to give these a go! :)

      You could use stevia in this recipe, but I'd stick with an unprocessed version such as the organic stevia from Frontier. From my understanding Truvia is a processed form of stevia. If you want to use stevia, then add a little, taste, and add a bit more if needed. I chose maple syrup in this recipe because it is an unprocessed sweetener. Most agave that can be found at the store is processed and isn't the true agave sweetener. Here's an article talking about agave: http://www.westonaprice.org/modern-foods/agave-nectar-worse-than-we-thought

    Love all the coffee creamer recipes! I've used stevia as a sugar substitute with great results. Also, I noticed somebody commenting on your other list of recipes, asking about gingerbread creamer. This is how I first started making my own creamer (last Dec.), when I realized I could just add the same spices I used for my gingerbread cookies to cream to make my own. It is amazingly good! I initially used evaporated milk, a combination of molasses & dark brown sugar as my sweeteners, and ginger, cinnamon, cloves, & nutmeg to taste. (I also add a little cardamom because I'm crazy like that.) But now I've learned from you to heat the mixture, which obviously infuses the spices into the cream or milk, and then (more importantly) to strain the creamer. Wish I'd read about that before I decided to make my own pumpkin spice creamer last week, as all of my cups of coffee have ended up w/pumpkin spice "sludge" in the bottom. :D Still, I figure the pumpkin added fiber to my coffee. LOL Can't wait to try the honey vanilla creamer! I'll bet it would be really good if you threw a vanilla bean (slit down the length of it) into that cream to steep too.

  11. [...] Honey Vanilla Coffee Creamer - Store-bought flavored creamers have a lot of sugar as well as a lot of ingredients that we weren't sure we need to consume. This recipe is just one of several (two blog posts worth!) unbelievably wonderful-sounding flavors. Healthy Low-Sugar Tip: Reduce honey to one tablespoon rather than the 1/4 C. listed and add a packet of powdered stevia extract with the honey, whisking both in to the hot milk and cream. [...]
