My family absolutely adores this, and I promise yours will too—especially if you’re a coffee lover! Let’s make your mornings sweeter!
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk (or any milk you like)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional, but gives it a tiramisu twist!)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Pro Tips
- Dissolve the espresso fully: To avoid grainy bits, mix the espresso powder with a little warm milk before combining it with the other ingredients.
- Go easy on the almond extract: A little goes a long way! Start small and adjust to your taste.
- For a frothy finish: Give the creamer a good shake before using for an extra creamy texture.
- Make it dairy-free: Swap the heavy cream and milk for coconut milk or oat milk—so good!
- Double up: This stores well in the fridge, so feel free to make a bigger batch.

Substitutions and Variations
- Milk: Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk to make it dairy-free.

Make-Ahead Tips
This creamer can be made up to a week in advance! Just store it in a clean, airtight jar in the fridge and shake well before using.
Instructions
1. Warm the milk and cream
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it’s steamy but not boiling.
2. Dissolve the espresso and cocoa
In a small bowl, mix the espresso powder and cocoa powder with 1-2 tablespoons of the warm milk mixture until smooth. Stir this into the saucepan.
3. Add the flavorings
Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Continue to heat for 1-2 minutes, then remove from the stove.
4. Cool and store
Let the mixture cool slightly, then pour it into a clean mason jar or bottle. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Leftovers and Storage
- Store your creamer in an airtight jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 7 days.
