I like cream in my coffee and I like flavoured creamers but the store bought versions are loaded with oils, thickening agents like carrageenan, gums for stabilizing and of course artificial flavors and preservatives. Not only that, but I do not find them flavorful at all.
So instead, I decided to make my own and I was not disappointed!! This homemade caramel coffee creamer is so good! It has a robust caramel flavor that does not overpower the coffee but sweet enough with the right amount of caramel taste that you can still enjoy that cup of coffee! I will always make my own coffee creamer!
Let’s get started!
Toss butter and brown sugar into a pot.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Add vanilla, milk and cream.
Whisk so the milk is well incorporated into the caramel.
Simmer 10 minutes, do not boil because the creamer may curdle.
Pour into a jar or your favorite container. This was enough to fill a 500ml/pint jar.
This caramel coffee creamer is delicious! It’s great in coffee or tea and I even put a tablespoon into my oatmeal! So yummy! Store extras in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Since there’s no stabilizers, you may have to stir it beforehand.
This creamer is so good! Even my coffee is happy!
