I love starting off my day doing two of my most favorite things. Enjoying a good cup of coffee and reading. This blissful time centers me and makes me more productive and joyful. It may surprise you just how important the first 30 minutes of the day can be but once you get in the habit of being intentional about your morning routine, I know you’ll be a fan for life.
I’ve always loved a good cup of coffee. I like it hot and full of flavor. From time to time, I also like to add in a little extra flavor. That’s where this homemade coffee creamer comes in. The rich flavors of creme brulee are an ideal match up with coffee so why not turn them into a creamer? Making homemade Creme Brulee Coffee Creamer is so stinking easy and only takes about 5 minutes. This is a recipe to use all year long and is great to use for hot or iced coffee.

- Brown Sugar

Skip the coffee shop! Making your own flavored coffee creamer is so much better and you’ll know exactly what goes in it! It has no additives, no extras just homemade goodness sip after sip.

Homemade Coffee Creamer Questions, Answered
Just four: evaporated milk, brown sugar, vanilla, and half and half. No additives, no preservatives — just pure, rich, homemade goodness in every sip. That combination gives you the warm caramel depth of crème brûlée right in your morning cup.
Combine all four ingredients and stir until the brown sugar dissolves. That’s really it — no cooking, no fussing, about 5 minutes from start to finish. Once you taste this in your coffee, I promise you won’t reach for the store-bought bottle again.
Store it in an airtight jar or bottle in the refrigerator. It keeps well for about 7 to 10 days — just give it a good shake before each use since the ingredients can settle. A mason jar works perfectly.
Absolutely! This is a recipe I use year-round for exactly that reason. Pour it over a glass of cold brew or iced coffee and the whole drink transforms. Summer mornings got a lot better once I started making my own.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces evaporated milk - 1 can
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar

- 1 ½ cup half and half
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a saucepot and cook over medium-high heat until brown sugar is melted.

Oh and here’s my rating. Thanks again!
I took a taste at 1/2 c of brown sugar to see if I wanted it sweeter or not which it’s perfect for me. Love it! Totally out of creamer and forgot the stores aren’t open or only selling basics for Remembrance Day. Thanks! Might just have to keep this on hand at all times. Delicious!

Your recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of vanilla, that seems like a lot. Did you mean teaspoons?
Hey Barbara.
Nope, the recipe is correct. You are adding quite a bit of milk so you need the flavor of the vanilla. This is a concentrated creamer and flavors coffee beautifully!
Enjoy,
