Salted Caramel Coffee Creamer Recipe

I realize it’s still August…however, it was in the 40’s (!!) yesterday morning which has me thinking about hot coffee and all of the Autumn flavors that we love, so I’m bringing back on old blog post that was published a few Decembers ago. Enjoy! :)

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my sister-in-laws brought store-bought salted caramel and pumpkin spice coffee creamers to the farm. It was fun to add seasonal flavors to my morning latte, but the ingredients got me thinking: I could probably make my own coffee creamers with ingredients I can pronounce and no weird fillers or preservatives.

And so I got to work in the kitchen, experimenting with ingredients and methods to make a delicious, homemade creamer.

This has a good hint of salt and rich buttery caramel flavor and is a fun way to add a holiday twist to your coffee. It's perfect for adding that extra flare when hosting guests this Christmas!

Salted Caramel Coffee Creamer

Ingredients:

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup Creambrook heavy cream or cream poured off the top of your herd share

1/2 tablespoon vanilla

pinch of salt

1 cup Creambrook raw milk

In a medium-sized sauce pan, combine brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt.

Over medium-low heat, whisk ingredients for 6 - 7 minutes, constantly whisking to keep it from burning.

It will thicken and begin to look like caramel sauce.

After 6-7 minutes it will become foamy and thick.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool a few minutes.

Whisk in the raw milk. You may need to warm it up over low heat to incorporate it but don't let it get hot or it might curdle a little (if this happens, you can pour the creamer through a sieve and it will be silky smooth again).

Whisk until the milk is fully mixed into the sauce.

Add the vanilla.

And make yourself a piping hot mug of coffee. Enjoy! Store cold in the fridge.
