    Made with dates, this Vegan Caramel Coffee Creamer is sweet and rich. You won't find any weird ingredients in this recipe that you can't pronounce, like store-bought coffee creamers.

    It is made with only 4 ingredients. After soaking the dates, it takes minutes to make.

    Since dates are so sweet, a little goes a long way. Another recipe using dates is my Vegan Date Snickers.

    Add it to some Cold Brew Cacao Coffee or a Maple Tahini Latte.

    Another vegan creamer to try is my Oat Milk Vanilla Creamer recipe.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is sweet and creamy.
    • It's made in minutes with only 4 ingredients you probably already have on hand.
    • Made with dates and other whole food ingredients, it is healthier than store-bought creamer with processed ingredients.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Dates: Adds a sweet caramel flavor.
    • Almond milk: I like to use unsweetened almond milk so that I can control the amount of sugar. You could also use soy milk, oat milk, cashew milk, or other dairy-free milk.
    • Coconut milk: I used full-fat coconut milk. You could also use light coconut milk and add less almond milk.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.

        Wondering if you could do this with just coconut milk instead of the almond milk?

        I don't like that chemical sugary taste in creamers. This looks like a really good option and one that I would like to try this week. Thank you!

          I agree, some creamers are too sweet and strange tasting. I hope you enjoy this one!
