Why You’ll Love This Creamer

1 If your morning coffee needs a little something extra — but you’re over the fake flavors and mystery ingredients — this homemade Caramel Macchiato Coffee Creamer is about to be your new favorite thing. It’s rich, creamy, just sweet enough, and made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. And the best part? You can whip it up in less than 10 minutes.

🧁 Ingredients (Makes ~1.5 cups)

• 1 cup half & half

  (or sub with whole milk for lighter, or heavy cream for richer)

• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

• 3–4 tbsp caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

• 1tsp vanilla extract

• pinch of salt (optional — makes the caramel pop)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, gently heat half-and-half and sweetened condensed milk over low heat—don’t let it boil.
2. Whisk in caramel sauce and vanilla extract until fully combined.
3. Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
4. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a clean jar or bottle.
5. Store in the fridge for 7–10 days. Shake before each use.

☕ How to Use It

• Add 2–3 tablespoons to your morning coffee

🧡 Coffee Pairing Suggestions

• Sumatra – bold & smooth, balances the sweetness
• Bunoffee Blend – the chocolatey base makes this combo feel like dessert
• Brazil Peaberry – mellow, nutty notes complement the vanilla + caramel perfectly

🎯 Pro Tips
