Enjoy the sweet, spiced flavor of a Cinnabon-inspired cinnamon roll coffee creamer with this homemade coffee creamer! This creamer recipe is perfect for hot and iced coffee drinks, so why not ditch the store-bought creamer and make your own - it's so easy!
In a medium saucepan whisk together the heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Place the saucepan over a medium-low heat and stir constantly until the mixture is warm, but not boiling (around 3-5 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and butter extract (if using).
Allow the creamer to cool slightly, then pour into a creamer bottle or mason jar pitcher with a lid. Seal the jar and store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Shake gently before using as contents will settle.
To make cinnamon roll flavored coffee, add 2-3 tablespoons of cinnamon coffee creamer into hot or iced coffee drinks.
Notes
Rachel's Tips
For an even creamier creamer, substitute half and half for the whole milk.
Use the freshest milk and cream for a longer lasting creamer.
A small amount of butter extract gives this creamer an extra buttery, Cinnabon-like flavor, but is optional.
Don't boil the creamer - it just needs to be warmed for the flavors to meld.
You can adjust the amount of cinnamon to your liking.
Try adding this creamer to chai tea or hot cocoa too for a lovely spiced twist to your hot drinks.
