Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk, heavy cream, or plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 2–3 tablespoons sugar, maple syrup, or honey (adjust to taste)

Flavor Extracts

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond or hazelnut extract (optional)

Spices (Optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for mocha)
  • 1 tablespoon caramel sauce (for caramel pecan)
  • Toasted pecan bits (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut cream (for coconut cream variant)

Instructions

  1. Choose Your Base: Start by selecting your preferred milk or cream type. Whole milk or heavy cream provides a rich and velvety texture, while plant-based options like almond, oat, or coconut milk keep it lighter and suitable for lactose intolerance or vegan diets.
  2. Sweeten It Up: Add your choice of sweetener such as sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Adjust the quantity based on your desired level of sweetness for the creamer.
  3. Add Flavor Extracts: Mix in concentrated extracts like vanilla, almond, or hazelnut to create signature flavors and enhance the creamer’s taste.
  4. Spice Things Up (Optional): For an extra comforting touch, sprinkle in warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice. Whisk thoroughly to blend all ingredients smoothly.
  5. Chill and Store: Transfer the mixture into a clean container, seal it, and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the creamer to thicken slightly.

Notes

  • Use fresh milk or plant-based milk for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually, tasting as you go to reach your perfect balance.
  • For deeper flavor, infuse extracts and spices overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Shake the creamer well before each use to redistribute any separation.
  • Store in airtight containers to maintain freshness and avoid absorbing fridge odors.
