Forget ever having to buy coffee creamer again. This 3 ingredient Homemade Coffee Creamer is simple to make, rich, luxurious, and happens to be Paleo and Vegan Friendly. This Coconut Vanilla Creamer is absolutely delicious and will make drinking your morning cup of coffee that much more enjoyable.
Coconut Vanilla Coffee Creamer
My morning does not go well without a cup of coffee.
While I don't like my coffee black, I am not a fan of store-bought creamers for many reasons.
All those crazy good creamers that are on the market, are just not for me. They make me feel sick to my stomach and leave a bit of a fake flavor in my mouth.
Instead, I opt for making a plain homemade latte or using homemade coffee creamer.
With only 3 ingredients and a quick shake, I have a vegan creamer that is rich, velvety, and full of vanilla and coconut flavors with a note of maple in the background. It is the perfect way to indulge without indulging at all.
A cup of coffee flavored with this easy homemade coffee creamer pairs perfectly with Overnight Cinnamon Rolls or Paleo Lemon Muffins for a perfect breakfast treat.
Important Tips on Dairy-Free Vanilla Coffee Creamer
- Coconut Vanilla Coffee Creamer can be stored in the refrigerator for 10-14 days.
- Be sure to give a good shake before using, because coconut milk is so thick it needs to be shaken well to distribute properly.
- You may even want to put your ingredients into a blender to blend well to help emulsify the creamer.
- Shake well before using.
- Be sure to use canned coconut milk, not coconut cream for this vegan coffee creamer. My favorite is Trader Joe's Coconut Milk--it is thicker than most light brands but does not separate as much as full-fat coconut milk. Feel free to use any brand of light coconut milk or full-fat coconut milk you like.
- If you are looking to make a dairy version of homemade Vanilla Coffee Creamer, use Half-N-Half in place of the coconut milk.
- This creamer is great if you want to add a teaspoon of cinnamon or ground nutmeg to it as well.

Hello! Thank you for the recipe. I'm trying to remove as much aluminum from my life as possible in order to be more brain friendly. So no aluminum foil, aluminum free deodorant, no canned goods, etc. Are there any coconut milks you recommend that don't come in a can? Thank you so much in advance.

Hi Lindsay! It is hard to find coconut milk without stabilizers that are not canned. However, Thai Kitchen does sell coconut milk in a carton. You can find it on amazon.

Recently learned that dairy was no longer something I could have, so I tried this receipe as a substitute in my coffee. It was fantastic and definitely won't be missing the morning splash of milk in my coffee because of this. Thanks for the receipe!!
