Homemade Dulce de Leche Coffee Creamer

Homemade dulce de leche coffee creamer is creamy and delicious way to make coffee house drinks at home.

I’ve made no secret of my borderline-unhealthy love of All Things Starbucks. Give me a fat slice of their iced lemon pound cake with a grande chai latte chaser, and I’m one happy girl. Although I’m a dyed-in-the-spice chai girl the vast majority of the time, when I do decide to go fully-leaded with a Cup o’ Joe, you’d better believe that it will either be a mocha loaded with chocolate, or a brew swimming in caramel. Assuming that a daily trip to Starbucks to feed my habits wouldn’t break the bank, I’d totally start my day there.

In reality? I’m a homeschooling mom of four that lives a good 25 minutes away from the nearest Starbucks. I idiotically gave up caffeine a few months ago, and perhaps most importantly, I’m not a morning person. I really don’t want to make myself presentable enough for the public viewing so early in the morning.

The way I see it, I have two options:

A) suck-it-up and load four kids in the car/drive across town at the crack of dawn to pick up a decaf/get home in time to start school, or

B) I can take matters into my own hands and make my coffee shop favorites at home.

I choose Option B. Always choose Option B. 

What better way to wrap up a week full of Caramel Week decadence than with one more guilty pleasure in the form of a super easy, homemade Dulce de Leche Coffee Creamer?

Making your own caramel coffee creamer is not only more cost effective than a caramel macchiato, but you won’t have to change out of your flannel jammy pants to do it.

Simply stir equal parts of homemade dulce de leche and whole milk in a saucepan set over low heat. Once the caramel has melted and incorporated with the milk, stir in a touch of vanilla extract, and you’re well on your way to a sumptuous caramel latte in the comfort of your own home.

Wah lah -Homemade dulce de leche coffee creamer!
