Irish Cream Coffee Creamer is my go-to creamer when I make my own coffee at the local convenience store, but it’s harder to find at grocery stores, so I usually settle for vanilla at home.
Recently I’ve been more aware of the not-so-great ingredients in store bought coffee creamers. Most are made with primarily vegetable oil and that just doesn’t feel right to me. It was time to start making my own.
This homemade creamer is made with better ingredients and tastes just as good, if not better than store-bought creamers. It’s the perfect addition to your morning coffee and a must when making an Irish Latte!
This recipe does not contain alcohol so it’s perfectly fine to use in your morning coffee before running out the door.
Why This Recipe Works
This is an easy to make homemade coffee creamer. You need just 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes to make a batch.
It tastes just as good as store bought creamers, but is made with better-for-you ingredients rather than oils.
You can add as much or as little as you like to your morning coffee, or take it up a notch and make yourself an Irish Latte with this creamer.
