Hey there! If you love a cozy cup of coffee with a little extra flair, you’re going to adore this Irish Cream Coffee Creamer.
It’s creamy, a little sweet, with just the right touch of Irish-inspired flavor (think hints of chocolate, vanilla, and a kiss of almond). It’s way better than store-bought, and you can whip it up in minutes!
Plus, it’s non-alcoholic, so the whole family can enjoy a little splash in their hot cocoa or morning coffee. Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 1 cup milk (any kind you like – dairy or non-dairy)
Pro Tips
- Whisk well: Make sure you whisk everything together thoroughly to dissolve the cocoa powder and instant coffee completely. No one wants lumps in their coffee!
- Customize it: Prefer it sweeter? Add a little more sweetened condensed milk. Want it dairy-free? Swap out the heavy cream and milk for coconut milk or almond milk.
- Storage matters: Store your creamer in a clean glass jar or bottle in the fridge for up to a week. Give it a good shake before using it each time.
Tools You’ll Need
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- A glass jar or bottle with a lid
Substitutions and Variations
- Dairy-Free: Use coconut milk and coconut cream in place of the heavy cream and milk.
- Sugar-Free: Swap sweetened condensed milk for sugar-free condensed milk or use unsweetened almond milk and sweeten it with a little stevia or monk fruit.
- Boozy Twist: Add a splash of real Irish whiskey for an adults-only treat!
Make Ahead Tips
This creamer is great to make ahead! It keeps in the fridge for up to 7 days. Just give it a shake before using since some settling might occur.
