Homemade Creamer

After I made my cup of coffee I poured in this delicious homemade vegan coconut coffee creamer straight from the jar!

It’s that good!

I like this creamer because it isn’t as sweet as many of the store-bought versions. Even lots of the homemade ones are like adding dessert to your morning coffee. This is nicely balanced.

Is coconut milk good for coffee creamer?


Yes! Coconut milk is great for coffee creamer. It’s thick and rich and provides a nice creaminess.

Low sugar

I used to only drink coffee with lots of sugar and creamer. Or, those sugary latte drinks from the coffee shop.

I decided that I wanted to give up all those extra calories and sugar. So, I started putting less sugar in my coffee.

Then, I actually went to a bigger mug and continued with the same amount of sugar (which meant less sugar in each sip).

Then, I finally went cream only. That was easy to reduce the amount of cream daily.

Busy mornings!

This paleo coffee creamer is great for anyone who’s in a hurry on a busy morning.

It keeps in the fridge for a nice long time and is ready to add to your morning coffee.

This creamer can be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly covered container for up to two weeks.

The creamer has separated once it was stored in the fridge

If your creamer separates once it’s stored in the fridge, simply pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds and give it a stir.

Once the coconut solids melt, they should easily mix back into the creamer.

You can warm also your creamer up in a small saucepan, or use an immersion blender or milk frother to dissolve the solids.

How to make

This creamer recipe is so simple to make!

Be sure to scroll down to the printable recipe card for full ingredient amounts and instructions.

Just toss everything in the blender and blend until smooth.

I like to strain any solids out, but you can skip this step if you want.

Creamer will thicken as it stands in the fridge.

And feel free to double or triple this recipe as needed.

What kind of coconut milk should I use?

I like canned coconut milk for this recipe. I find canned coconut milk is thicker and richer than the carton that you can buy in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.

Also, I like full fat coconut milk for this recipe. It’s thicker and richer than the carton. But, if you want to cut back on some fat, feel free to use a lower fat version.

Want to switch it up a little?

This creamer is great if you want to add a teaspoon of cinnamon or ground nutmeg to it for a little Christmas flavor.

Want to make it with dairy? Use half & half in place of the coconut milk.

Do you like your coffee extra sweet? Feel free to add a few more dates to the mix. Remember, this is your morning coffee, make it to you liking!

    I didn’t have a fine mesh strainer so I just left the bits of dates in it. Didn’t even notice them. Since I’m on Whole30, I cut out the vanilla flavoring and added cinnamon instead. I’d like to try this with vanilla beans added or something. Maybe mint essential oil or leaves! Very good and satisfying!
