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.

- 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??).

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine all three ingredients in a large mason jar (quart size).
- Add lid and shake vigorously. Use within one week. ENJOY.
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.
Awesome
Just made this for the first time. It’s so yummy and definitely better than the other stuff. Can’t wait to have it in my coffee tomorrow.
Do you have a recipe for Peppermint mocha coffee creamer?
Just use peppermint extract instead of vanilla extract. Mocha is chocolate and vanilla. Do you want chocolate in your coffee?
How can I make sugar free hazelnut creamer?
Do you have a recipe for Caramel Macchiato?
I sure do! https://www.shugarysweets.com/caramel-macchiato-coffee-creamer/
I was looking for the same thing.
Thanks so much for this recipe! I don’t use creamer in my coffee so never have it on hand. I have made this creamer several times when we have guests who are into creamy coffee and they always love it! I make it in a shaker with a blender ball. This keeps it evenly mixed and the drink spout makes it easy to poor.
Looks delicious. I know my family will love this!
This looks sooooo tasty!!!!!
mmm…I can’t wait to try this! It sounds AMAZING!!
Vanilla is the best flavor for coffee and this is really nice with the condensed milk.
This looks so good. I can’t wait to try it!
I love your idea about making this part of a coffee gift basket idea for neighbors and friends. I know a few who would definitely enjoy this. Thanks!
FYI ~~ true ‘French Vanilla’ has a sweet, buttery taste that is easily identified and quite different from regular vanilla. Although the vanilla flavor is slightly predominant, the butter taste is right there as well and they blend beautifully!
Love this!!! I made some of this yesterday and loved it so much that I decided to put it in the freezer is ice cubes so that I could keep it longer. I only use around 2 tablespoons at a time so they ask you to make perfect sense. Thank you so much. I will definitely be checking out your other recipes.
Thanks for posting this! I really like vanilla creamer with my coffee, but my mom only ever drinks BLACK coffee and never keeps creamer around. This stuff is delicious, and I can have some creamer around for my coffee! I might be able to actually drink some coffee with her now! ^U^
sorry mixed in
I made the creamer but the condensed milk was like fudge consistency and it never miseducating all the way in what do I do?
Sounds like you have a bad can of condensed milk. It will be thick, but not so thick as fudge.
I found that canned milk goes bad sooner than any canned item I buy. But it when you are going to use it.
It is Feb. 2018 and I am just reading this post! First thanks for this post. the photos and accompanying blog post were refreshing! I just made this recipe and tweaked it to my preference and dietary needs. I always love my creamers but hated the lack of nutrition. I always have evaporated and sweetened condensed milk on hand. I did a can of the sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup of hot water, 1 cup of 2% milk half of a split vanilla bean, 1 tsp each of vanilla and almond extract and about a tsp of cinnamon. Delicious perfection!!! The vanilla bean makes me feel fancy! I put it into Myfitnesspal the serving size of 3.2 tbsp (I like a lot of creamer) is only 72 calories with 12 grams of sugar. Per tablespoon it is 24 calories per tablespoon and 4 grams of sugar much less than the hazelnut coffeemate in my fridge! I based it off of a 32 ounce mason jar having 20 servings. Of course if you only add 1 tablespoon of it you could get 64 servings…. but it is too delicious for just a tablespoon!!! GREAT recipe Thanks so much…. sorry if this sounded nerdy 🙂
I tried making original recipe, blah. Added more vanilla, still blah. Gonna have to try your recipe🤞
I have made the french vanilla.So good
Aimee, I bought the sweetened condensed milk several weeks ago and never got around to making this recipe till this morning. OMG, this is the BEST creamer I have had in my life…EVER!!! Thanks for posting this recipe, it’ll make me get out of bed easier every morning!
This is an excellent recipe – however instead of the skim milk, I substituted any variety of non-dairy coffee creamer -for the skim milk and achieved the same results and a longer shelf life. There’s also a frozen non-dairy coffee creamer that is less expensive. Try it !!!
