How long does homemade coffee creamer last?

Homemade coffee creamer generally lasts about two weeks in the refrigerator. A good rule of thumb is to check the expiration date on the milk or cream you used; the creamer will stay fresh until that date.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes! You can substitute the sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk and use oat milk or coconut milk instead of dairy cream for a delicious dairy-free homemade coffee creamer.

Why did my creamer separate in my coffee?

Separation can happen if the coffee is extremely acidic or if the creamer is very cold. Because homemade coffee creamer lacks the chemical emulsifiers found in store-bought versions, simply give it a quick stir or shake before use.

Can I freeze homemade coffee creamer?

Yes, you can freeze it in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag and drop one or two directly into your hot coffee for a quick cool-down and flavor boost.
