    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's 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.

    To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

      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!
