I never knew how to make this on my own. What a great idea!
Jenna Wood
This is nice and simple to make. We often get our dairy products in bulk from warehouse stores, and I always have some left over!
Emily
Ooo I love vanilla flavored anything I’ll have to try this.
Amber Edwards
That is awesome! I use the coffee creamers in hot chocolate. But also don’t like all the gunk ingredients. Love that I can make my own now!
SHELLEY R ZUREK
Debi, this is such an amazing idea. My husband loves this but I too hate how much garbage is in there! Great recipe.
Ashley
yummy! And sounds so easy to make!
Jennifer Wagner (@jenwag57)
This is great. I go through tons of vanilla coffee creamer and the chemicals do bother me. But I’m so addicted to it I can’t go back to regular milk. I just printed out the recipe and am going to give it a try. Thanks
jamie braun

Dede
I love homemade success like that! Glad you found a way to make it.

French Vanilla creamer is my favorite. Thanks!
Jodi @ A Mom Having Fun
That is a great recipe to have handy! We prefer our coffee with the flavored creamer, which can get rather pricey. I’m sure this would save us some money!
Jenn @comebackmomma
I am not a big fan of coffee, but this might be nice in tea too.

All this time I thought how to make vanilla creamer, I made it with only milk & vanilla, it never came out right, but trying it your way came out so very tasty and so much smoother, yummmmm!!
Sincerely Robinn Georgeson
Debi
I am thrilled that you like it. If you like pumpkin creamer, you should try that recipe as well.
Eulie
Just made my first batch…tastes like a winner. Not only is it all natural, its environmentally friendly (less plastic waste). Kudos on reusing your old container!
Laurie
Do you use vanilla extract??
Debi
Yes I use 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract

Are you able to substitute anything for the sweetened condensed milk? I don’t have a way to get any until Friday and I was hoping to surprise my husband with his favorite creamer, only homemade.
Debi
I have only ever made it with the condensed.
