Homemade Caramel Macchiato Coffee Creamer Tutorial

Here's my latest attempt at a homemade coffee creamer flavor. My store-bought favorite is the Caramel Macchiato flavor. So here's how I make my own! Also check out my recipe for Smores creamer and Pumpkin Spice creamer!

Caramel Macchiato Coffee Creamer

Ingredients


2 cups of half&half (or 1 cup milk and 1 cup heavy cream or just milk if you want to cut on the calories)
1/2 cup sugar 
1 cup of caramel bits (or 3/4 cup caramel sauce) (You can also use the homemade Dulce de Leche from the tutorial found HERE)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (I have almond in the picture...I was experimenting...use vanilla)
Empty coffee creamer container or glass jar.


Step 1


Pour the half&half in a small sauce pan. Turn the heat to medium.

Step 2


Add the cup of caramel bits, the sugar, and the extract. Heat, stirring constantly, until the bits melt completely. About 8-10 minutes.

Step 3


Once melted, turn off the heat, and let the creamer cool for a little bit, about 10 minutes.

Step 4


Pour into your container and store in the fridge. It stays good for several weeks!

I have noticed that you usually need more of this creamer than you would probably use with the store-bought kind but it's because it isn't sweetened with concentrated sugars and chemicals like the ones at the store.

And a picture to leave you with: Chicken Parmesan night...and I had to clean sauce out of her ears! Little stinker.

I am trying to stay away from the store bought creamers. so much sugar. I have been just using 1/2 &1/2 plus flavored syrup. I have all this at home at will try to make at a quiet moment. With 6 children and one on the way coffee is my best friend in the morning. LOL

This recipe is great. I've recently become a coffee drinker and have been making all kinds of homemade creamers, but this will be my FOURTH (out of 8) time making this one! So good!

I found on another site how to sweeten creamer better is with sweetened condensed milk 14 oz can and 1 and 3/4 milk, half and half, or heavy cream. just a suggestion...not sure how it would work for the caramel macchiato

I'm enjoying my first cup of coffee with homemade creamer right now and it is delicious!! I only had milk on hand and no caramel so I did milk, sugar, and vanilla extract and it worked great! Thank you :)

Just made this smells heavenly! I love the I.D. Caramel Macchiato coffee creamer and I have to drive 30 miles to get it because our local hometown store doesn't carry it, so this is gonna save me money and time! Fast to make and really easy! I will let you know! Thanks for this recipe! My daughter's favorite is Caramel Vanilla, what is the difference between the two if you can tell me? More vanilla?
