Blueberry coffee Creamer

      Give your morning coffee a fruity, summery twist with this Homemade Blueberry Coffee Creamer! Inspired by Coffee Mate’s blueberry cobbler creamer, this all-natural version is made with just six simple ingredients, a refreshing change from the long list of artificial additives found in store-bought creamers.

As much as I enjoy fancy espresso drinks and creamy cold foam-topped cold brews, sometimes all I need is a classic cup of coffee with a splash of deliciously flavored creamer. While store-bought creamers may taste good, a quick glance at the ingredient list can be off-putting, many don’t even contain real milk or cream! Instead, they’re packed with things like dipotassium sulfate, micellar casein, and soybean oil (which is what gives them their “creaminess”, yikes!).

Rather than relying on the bottled stuff, I love making my own homemade coffee creamers with flavors like sugar cookie, coconut, hazelnut, and Irish cream. This blueberry muffin coffee creamer is my newest addition, arriving just in time for summer!

With hints of juicy blueberries, warm vanilla, and brown sugar, this vibrant blue-hued creamer delivers the flavor of a freshly baked blueberry muffin in every sip. It’s the perfect way to satisfy your blueberry pastry cravings first thing in the morning! Best of all, it comes together in minutes, so you can enjoy a deliciously flavored coffee while knowing exactly what’s in your cup.

Granulated Sugar & Brown Sugar : Cane sugar or turbinado sugar can replace white sugar, while muscovado, piloncillo, or jaggery work well instead of brown sugar.

Vanilla Extract : Use vanilla paste, vanilla powder, or ground vanilla bean (half the amount) as a substitute.

Instructions :

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the half & half, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture begins to steam.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the blueberry extract and vanilla extract until well combined.

Let the creamer cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a mason jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

• Dairy-Free & Vegan: Swap 1 cup oat milk and 1 cup full-fat coconut milk for the half & half and heavy cream.

One of the best things about making your own coffee creamer is the ability to customize it to fit your preferences. Here are a few easy adjustments:

FAQs

Does coffee creamer sweeten coffee?

 In most cases, yes! Coffee creamer is typically a sweetened, flavored addition to coffee, unlike plain cream, which doesn’t usually add sweetness.

Can I substitute coffee creamer for milk in dessert recipes? 

Yes, but with some considerations. Coffee creamer tends to have a higher fat content than regular milk, which can influence the dessert’s texture. Additionally, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe since milk doesn’t contain added sugar.

Is it possible to froth or whip coffee creamer? 

Yes, you can froth coffee creamer to create a foam for lattes or cold foam drinks. However, it lacks the fat content needed to whip it into stiff peaks like you would with whipped cream.
