Hey there, Lacey here with "A Sweet Pea Chef"
and do you love coffee creamer, but you hate
all that refined sugar and added chemicals,
and all that fake stuff that you just don't
need?
I am right there with you.
So, today, I'm gonna show you how to make
homemade coffee creamer plus an easy way to
tweak to make five different flavors.
And it's so healthy, all whole ingredients,
and delicious.
Yup, we're making some homemade coffee creamer,
guys.
So, let's get started.
Unfortunately, most store-bought coffee creamers
are really bad for you.
They contain high amounts of sugar, processed
fats, and all sorts of fake chemicals that
you just don't need in your coffee creamer.
So, that's why I wanted to make a really healthy
option because I love coffee creamer and I
didn't want to give it up.
So, our first step in making a coffee creamer
is to make our own homemade condensed milk
which, lucky for us, is very easy and just
requires a few simple ingredients.
We start by adding some raisins to a mixing
bowl and then cover that with your milk.
You can use any milk you want.
I prefer whole dairy milk or unsweetened coconut
milk for my coffee creamers, but any milk
will do.
Then we're going to place this into the fridge
for at least five to six hours if not overnight
and what this will do will allow the raisins
to become really broken down and plump, and
they're gonna let off a lot of their natural
sweetness, and they're gonna actually kinda
thicken the milk a little bit which is a really
cool thing.
If you wanted to expedite this whole process,
you could just cook this all very low on a
simmer for about 30 minutes on the stove and
then that will have the same result.
So, you can either cook it or put it in the
fridge.
Then, remove the raisins from the milk using
a fine mesh strainer and then we're gonna
keep that milk and that is our condensed milk.
So, super easy, right?
It's awesome.
Now, we're gonna take our condensed milk and
we're gonna add it to a saucepan and heat
it over a medium heat.
We're also gonna add in some more plain coconut
milk, pure maple syrup, and some arrowroot
starch.
Then we're gonna use a whisk and make sure
it all gets mixed together.
You're gonna notice that this mixture starts
to thicken a little bit as it cooks for about
six to eight minutes and that's that arrowroot
starch working.
So, definitely wait until it thickens and
then you can remove it from the heat.
Then you add in your pure vanilla extract
and stir it in so it's nicely mixed.
Now, this is our base homemade creamer recipe.
You can use this just as it is, in the fridge,
you can just store it for five days in an
airtight container, but I'm gonna show you
how to kick this up a notch and have five
different and exciting flavors to make.
So, let's start with those.
Okay, so we're gonna start with a French vanilla
creamer.
I know many of you guys have told me how much
you love French vanilla and it's so easy to
do.
You just take our basic creamer and then you
add in additional vanilla extract.
I know, so simple, but it's so good and it
tastes just like French vanilla creamer.
Then add your French vanilla creamer to an
airtight container and place it in the fridge.
It will last for up to five days and tasty,
French vanilla creamer for ya.
Next, we're gonna make a delicious peppermint
mocha creamer which is so good and so refreshing.
So, start with your basic creamer and then
we're gonna add in some unsweetened dark cocoa
powder, just a little bit of espresso powder,
and some peppermint extract.
And then you just stir that together.
Then just put it into an airtight container
and then pop it in your fridge and you're
ready to go with homemade peppermint mocha
creamer.
So good.
Next, we're gonna be making a hazelnut creamer
which is one of my favorite types of creamers
and it's so easy to do.
So, we're gonna take our base coffee creamer
and then we're just gonna add in a little
bit of hazelnut extract.
It's that simple.
If you can't find hazelnut extract, you could
find almond extract that's usually a little
bit easier to find and that will work as well.
It will taste a little bit more amarettoey
but it will still be a delicious creamer.
Then stir that together and then pour that
into your airtight container and now you have
delicious hazelnut creamer better than any
store-bought, better for you and so, so easy.
Next, we're gonna make a rich and smooth chocolate
coffee creamer using just a few ingredients.
So, we're gonna grab our base coffee creamer
recipe and we're gonna add in a little bit
of cocoa powder followed by a little bit more
vanilla extract that's gonna make it kind
of like an almost milk chocolatey flavor.
Then we're gonna stir that together and then
pour that into our airtight container so it's
ready to grab and then you will have delicious
chocolate homemade creamer any time you want.
I think you're getting the idea on how easy
these coffee creamers are to make.
So, now let's make a cinnamon coffee creamer
that is just spicy, and delicious, and cinnamony,
and perfect for coffee.
So, start with your base homemade coffee creamer
recipe and then we're gonna add in some ground
cinnamon.
You could use cinnamon extract instead of
ground cinnamon if you don't want the little
pieces of cinnamon in there, but personally,
it doesn't bother me and I like it.
So, either one of those is fine.
And then we're gonna also add in a little
bit more vanilla extract.
Then we're gonna stir that all together and
then pour into our airtight container, place
that into the fridge and store it for up to
five days, and you will have delicious, ready
to have, cinnamon coffee creamer to spice
up your coffee and just enjoy life in the
morning again with delicious creamer.
There's just so many different ways that we
can enjoy our coffee creamer and have it be
healthy.
Plus our homemade condensed milk is such a
game changer.
