Creating your own vanilla coffee creamer at home is a piece of cake! Especially for my French Vanilla Coffee Creamer recipe. Only three ingredients, ready in minutes, and you can make it FAT FREE!
I’m no stranger to homemade coffee creamer recipes. If you wanted to try some new flavors, this Creme Brulee Coffee Creamer is rich and inviting. Another favorite is Chocolate Marshmallow Coffee Creamer. As delicious as it sounds!
Homemade Vanilla Coffee Creamer
So you all know I’m completely addicted to my morning coffee. But did you know I also have a flavored coffee creamer addiction?
I’m the one that heads to the grocery store for milk and coffee creamer. We run out of store bought coffee creamer as often as we run out of milk!
And I’m not particular about my creamer. I’ll purchase whatever creamer flavors are on sale. I’m willing to try any taste at least once!
But, while I may have three different flavors creamer on hand at any one time, French Vanilla coffee creamer is always in my fridge.
I recently shared my favorite homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer. And it occurred to me, why haven’t I shared the easiest flavor, French Vanilla creamer?
Homemade Coffee Creamer 3 Ingredients
- Sweetened Condensed Milk– you can use any variety, including fat free!
- Milk- use what you love. Keep it fat free and use skim milk, make it creamier and use whole milk or heavy whipping cream!
- Vanilla Extract– adds the right amount of rich, vanilla flavor to the creamer! Almond extract adds a delicious depth of flavor too!
By using fat free sweetened condensed milk with fat free milk…you got it, you now have Fat Free French Vanilla Coffee Creamer.
How to Make French Vanilla Coffee Creamer
This recipe for homemade coffee creamer is so easy. 3 ingredients, mix and shake.
- Combine all 3 ingredients in large mason jar. Shake vigourously. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- I keep mine in quart mason jars, great for storing in the fridge.
- You should mix this homemade vanilla creamer before using it because the sweet milk settles at the bottom. Using a mason jar can make it easier to mix.
- I found some cute chalkboard label stickers at Target and use them on my jars. If company comes over, pouring into a cute pitchers is simple!
- This also makes a great gift idea for that coffee addict friend or hostess. Maybe with a cute mug and specialty bag of coffee (do you need my address??).

French Vanilla Coffee Creamer Recipe

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine all three ingredients in a large mason jar (quart size).

Notes

- I like to store mine in quart size mason jars. Perfect for keeping in the fridge. You do need to stir or shake this creamer before each use, as the sugary milk sinks to the bottom (which makes a mason jar all that more useful)! I found some cute chalkboard label stickers at Target and use them on my jars. If company comes over, pouring into a cute pitchers is simple!
- This also makes a great gift idea for that coffee addict friend or hostess. Maybe with a cute mug and specialty bag of coffee.
- Use regular sweetened condensed milk and whole milk for a thicker, creamier coffee creamer if desired.
Love how easy your version is and that you can make it fat-free!
I don’t normally have creamer with my coffee, but I might start just so I can have the fun of making this! What a great idea! And I hadn’t seen that chocolate chip coffee cake – wow, now that also looks delicious!
What a genius idea! I love flavored creamers, but can’t stand how most of them have a really artificial taste.
That is so true Candace!!
I love that this is so simple and has no fake stuff!! Do you know how long it lasts in the fridge? 🙂
If you’re using milk, go by the expiration of your milk carton. If you decide to make it thicker by using heavy cream (with the sweetened condensed milk), use within 7 days. ENJOY.
Thanks! I’ll make this tomorrow! Love the oatmeal suggestion, too! It might make it taste better, :p
I like my coffee black in the morning but use creamers in the afternoon for a sweet treat. My favorite way to use creamers are in my plain oatmeal in the mornings…so good!
Oh a bet that’s delicious in oatmeal! My kids like creamer in their hot cocoa (as if it’s not sweet enough)!
I need to make my own more often. I have the same addiction as you!! 🙂
I heart you for so many reasons Dorothy 🙂
My Husband and I love lot’s of creamer with our coffee, so this is just perfect! Hat’s off! And on the plus side, it will save us so much money then buying fancy creamer 🙂
Especially if you can find a good sale on sweetened condensed milk, STOCK UP!

Thanks Stacey! Stay tuned…I’ve got more flavors to come!
I love the idea of making a flavored coffee creamer! I never buy the other ones because there’s so many things in them that I can’t pronounce. This looks wonderful!
Thank you Marcie. I feel that way about so many products too!
Wow! I had no idea it was so easy to make creamer at home! Pinning!
Thanks for pinning Kathy!
So simple, so good! This would be awesome as part of a brunch spread!
Lots of fun to serve a few different flavors for brunch!
“French Vanilla” is actually a flavor combination of vanilla + hazelnut. So if you order a French vanilla latte at a coffee shop, you’re getting a mix of those flavors (I’m a former barista.) Although, I think in reference to other foods/beverages the “French” part is just used to make it sound better. 🙂
Oooh, that’s interesting Natasha! Hazelnut creamer should be next on my list….
This has been on my pinterest bucket list forever!!!! I LOVE how simple this recipe is and so versatile! Love it 🙂
Thanks Ashton!! Glad to hear others have those bucket lists 🙂
Vanilla is the classic, and way to make this fat free! I have no idea why coffee creamer would be called French vanilla (sounds fancy?) In ice cream, I think it means there are egg yolks in the custard (french style?). Or I am making all of this up and the next person will correct me 😉
Ooohhh, you may be onto something! french, custard..yes!
How about a sugar free version, for those who like the stuff that way? My apt. manager yes a lot of creamer, always sugar free.. Yuck, Imo.. Love this as is! And i, too, am a creameraholic…
Hi Jann,
I don’t do much sugar free, only because I hate using artificial sweeteners. I suppose you can try using heavy cream with truvia (stevia) to sweeten.
I just recently tried my hand at homemade coffee creamer. The result was delicious. Love this recipe! Pinned.
Thanks for pinning Jennie! It’s so surprisingly easy!
Oh this is such a great idea to make your own creamer and keep it fat free!
I love the taste of the creamers, but I don’t like that I can’t understand all the ingredients. Love this!
So true about so many foods!! Homemade creamer is so easy!
Ive seen other DIY versions of vanilla creamer but yours is the easiest and love that you kept it fat free too! pinned!
Thanks Averie, I admit to buying more than I make. But this is always my go-to version. Especially love it when my grocery store has sweetened condensed milk 10 for $10! I go a bit crazy 🙂
