The Coolest, Tastiest, Naturalist, Bestest Vanilla Coffee Creamer Recipe of All Time

Yummy Coffee In my honeymoon Coffee Cup

About a month ago I came across a pin on Pinterest that really sparked my happy juices. It was a recipe for home made creamer. My husband and & go through creamer like a fat kid goes through cake. We were buying one of those ginormo “coffee lover” sized creamers from the grocery store just about every week.

This recipe is about a fraction of the cost and oh yeah, it’s ALL NATURAL. Before I saw this recipe and the post to it, I had never taken the time to read the ingredients in the store bought creamer. Let me tell you, half that garbage I can’t pronounce never less have a clue what the heck it is!

So I tried the recipe… no offense to whoever made it but personally my husband & I found it awful- -bleh. So I Googled and blogged and searched for more recipes to perfect it. Then tried and tried and tried again until I came up with this one. It’s simple, natural, and oh so tasty – at least I think so… and half the people at my husband’s work think so too (he brought some to share). So I feel it’s safe to share with you lovelies at this point! Here it is ladies & gents:

Whopping amount of ingredients

The coolest, tastiest, naturalist, bestest vanilla coffee creamer recipe of all time! (yep that’s what I’m gonna call it)

Ingredients:

• 1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk

• 1 ½ - 2 cups of half & half milk

• 1 tbsp of REAL vanilla extract (I guess you could use the imitation extract but I think the real has a better taste)

Making a double batch here, one just doesn't last us a whole week

Directions:

•In a small saucepan combine the can of condensed milk & the half & half over low/medium heat until fully mixed and warm. Do not bring to a boil. (I have no idea why, but just about all the recipes I read specifically said this – it may change the texture/behavior of the mixture)

•Add vanilla Extract

• Let cool, pour it into something fun to store it in, keep in fridge. 

Dang that was easy, right?

Note: I said 1 ½- 2 cups of half & half - the variation is simply for taste. The less you use, the sweeter your creamer will be. Anywhere in that range in my opinion gives the best taste but I usually tend to sway to the 1 ½ cup side myself.
