I love to drink coffee with creamers. I’ve tested different creamers and the Left Field Farms Sweet and Creamy Creamer has been my favorite (next in line are the Nestle Coffee-mate Natural Bliss Sweet cream and Trader Joe’s Sweet cream)! However, it has been discontinued, and the alternatives are not as good and quite… pricey, so I decided to make my own creamer.
I would prefer my creamer simple, just milk and cream and no additional flavor. With that, only 3 ingredients are needed: milk, heavy cream and sugar.
Ingredients: (yields 1 L of creamer)
- Whole milk: 1 pint (~ 473 mL)
- Heavy cream: 1 pint
- Sugar: 1 cup (~ 128 g)
Preparation: Simply combine all the ingredients and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Store the homemade creamer in a glass bottle, refrigerate the creamer and shake well before use. The creamer would be good for 7-10 days.
Notes:
- My creamer seemed like a sweetened half and half. Yeah, it’s… true! Since I prefer the rich and creamy taste, I always use whole milk, but you can totally replace with skim milk or reduced fate milk and increase the amount of milk to make your creamer less viscous. Be ware that increase the amount of milk, you will also need to increase the amount of sugar for sweetness.
- Choose heavy cream with milk/cream as the only ingredients to avoid inconsistency and strange taste to the final creamer.
- Some recipes would use condense milk, I would not recommend it because condense milk is highly viscous and difficult to mix well with milk and cream in large quantity.
Easy creamer at home!
