If you love starting your mornings with a little something extra in your coffee, you have to try this homemade Blueberry Cobbler Coffee Creamer!
It’s creamy, sweet, and has the perfect hint of blueberries and cinnamon. It tastes just like dessert but makes your coffee feel like a hug in a mug.
The best part? You can whip it up in less than 15 minutes with a handful of ingredients! My kids even ask for a little drizzle over pancakes—it’s that good!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk (whole milk or your favorite non-dairy option)
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)
- 2 tbsp sugar (or honey/maple syrup for natural sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Optional: 1/4 tsp almond extract for extra cobbler flavor
Pro Tips:
- Mash the blueberries a little while they simmer to release more flavor.
- Strain the mixture for a super smooth creamer (great if you don’t want blueberry pieces in your coffee).
- Taste as you go! You can adjust the sweetness or cinnamon level to your liking.
- For dairy-free, use coconut milk or almond milk—it works beautifully!
- Store in a glass jar with a lid for easy pouring all week long.
Tools You’ll Need:
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- Fine mesh strainer (optional)
- Glass jar or bottle for storage
Substitutions and Variations:
- No fresh blueberries? Use frozen or even blueberry preserves.
- Dairy-free? Swap heavy cream and milk for coconut cream and almond milk.
- Want it sweeter? Add more sugar or try a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Make it extra fancy? Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of bourbon vanilla.
Make-Ahead Tips:
This creamer lasts up to a week in the fridge. Make it on Sunday and enjoy fancy coffee all week long! Just shake the jar before using to mix everything up.
How to Make Blueberry Cobbler Coffee Creamer
1. Cook the Blueberries
In a small saucepan, add the blueberries, sugar, and a splash of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and start to release their juices (about 5 minutes).
2. Mash and Simmer
Use a fork or the back of a spoon to mash the blueberries while they cook. Let them simmer for another 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
3. Combine the Cream Base
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Heat gently (don’t boil!) while whisking until everything is warm and well combined (about 3–5 minutes).
4. Strain and Cool
If you prefer a smooth creamer, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a glass jar to remove any blueberry bits. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
Leftovers and Storage Tips:
- Store the creamer in a sealed glass jar or bottle in the fridge for up to a week.
- Shake the jar before each use, as natural separation may occur.
