Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream Use for rich flavor.
  • 1 cup whole milk Or a milk of your choice for a lighter version.
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk Adds sweetness and silky texture.
Flavoring Ingredients
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup caramel sauce Use homemade or store-bought; adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For additional flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder Optional for depth.
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon Optional for an adult twist.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Stir gently until it’s warm but not steaming (about 3–4 minutes).
  2. Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk until fully dissolved, then stir in the caramel sauce.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and add the flaky sea salt in increments, tasting as you go.
  4. Let the creamer cool to room temperature, then pour into a 16-ounce jar or bottle. Seal and refrigerate.
  5. Add 1–2 tablespoons per 8-ounce cup of coffee and adjust to taste. For iced coffee, add over ice.

Notes

Make a double batch and keep one in the fridge for up to 10–14 days. Shake well before each use; separation can happen.
