Remember that time I made Homemade Dulce de Leche? Well, I had 3 jars in my fridge that needed using. One, I ate with a spoon. One went into this pie. The third? Became DIY Homemade Dulce de Leche Coffee Creamer!
Dulce de Leche Coffee Creamer
So you remember when I made homemade dulce de leche, right? Y’all loved that I made it in a slow cooker. When I was trying to figure out what to make with it, I remembered my funfetti coffee creamer and the lightbulb went on.
I’m a girl that loves her coffee creamer. I love it in coffee, I love it in desserts like cheesecake dip or drinks like sugar cookie martinis. And I really love making it homemade because I can make flavors I can’t buy in the store.
Did you know that coffee creamer is super easy to make? Really, it only has two base ingredients: sweetened condensed milk and milk. Then you add your favorite extracts or flavorings. And dulce de leche is just thick sweetened condensed milk which makes it the perfect caramel coffee creamer!
Only 2 Ingredients!
- Dulce de Leche – use my homemade recipe or a can from the store
- Milk – you can use nonfat, regular or even half and half.

Um, can I skip the coffee and just drink this? I’m pretty sure you just described dulce-de-leche-milk, the new, hotter cousin to chocolate milk.
