Ingredients (Yields ~1½ cups)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk (stirred well)
- ½ cup almond milk (or oat/cashew milk for extra creaminess)
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (or monk fruit for sugar-free)
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances sweetness)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, almond milk, and sweetener.
- Warm gently over medium heat, stirring until fully combined — do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt (if using).
- Let cool, then pour into a clean bottle or mason jar.
- Store in the fridge for up to 7 days. Shake well before each use.
Flavor Variations
🧂 Salted Coconut Vanilla
- Add ⅛ tsp flaky sea salt and ¼ tsp cinnamon for a cozy twist
🍫 Coconut Mocha
- Stir in 1 tbsp cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate while heating
🌰 Coconut Almond Creamer
- Use almond extract in place of vanilla or do half-and-half for a nutty blend
Pro Tips
- Shake or stir before using — coconut fat naturally separates when chilled
- For a smoother texture, blend briefly before bottling or strain through a fine sieve
- Want it extra thick? Reduce almond milk or use coconut cream instead
- Froths well with a handheld frother for lattes and iced drinks

Coconut Vanilla Creamer is light, luscious, and dairy-free without sacrificing flavor. It’s the easiest way to elevate your daily coffee with clean ingredients and a little tropical flair — no mystery additives, just pure coffee joy.
