What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional for a stronger almond flavor)
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener (or your preferred sugar-free sweetener)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
.
Pro Tips
- Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk: For the creamiest texture, choose full-fat canned coconut milk. Light coconut milk will result in a thinner consistency.
- Sweetener Swaps: If monk fruit sweetener isn’t your favorite, try erythritol, stevia, or a splash of sugar-free maple syrup. Adjust sweetness to your taste!
- Blend for Ultra Creaminess: Mixing everything in a blender ensures the almond butter and coconut milk emulsify perfectly, leaving no separation.
- Chill Before Serving: Let the creamer chill in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Shake It Up: Natural ingredients may separate over time, so give the jar a good shake before each use.
Tools You’ll Need
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Blender (or whisk and mixing bowl)
- Mason jar or any airtight container for storage
Substitutions and Variations
- Nut-Free Option: Swap almond milk for oat milk and almond butter for sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
- Flavored Creamer: Add a drop of peppermint extract for a holiday vibe or a teaspoon of cocoa powder for a mocha twist.
- Keto-Friendly Add-In: Stir in a tablespoon of MCT oil for a boost of healthy fats.
- Spiced Version: Add a dash of nutmeg or cardamom for warm spice flavors.
Make-Ahead Tips
- This creamer stays fresh in the fridge for up to 7 days when stored in a sealed jar or bottle.
