The Magic of Homemade Coffee Creamer
There is something magical about crafting your own homemade Irish cream coffee creamer that makes your coffee that much sweeter!
Not only do you know that it is made with fresh ingredients, but it is also tailored to match your particular tastes and needs.
Do you want to make it dairy free? No problem. Sugar free? No problem.
You have this freedom when you make it yourself and also can enjoy your hot coffee addition without the unhealthy preservatives. You can also make this creamer non-alcoholic like the Baileys’ coffee creamers are at the grocery store.
Skip reaching for the International Delight non-dairy creamer that is shelf stable and go with something fresh!
What you will need for your Homemade Bailey’s Coffee Creamer
- Unsweetened Almond Milk or Coconut Milk
- 1 recipe of my Keto Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Low Carb Copycat Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur
Let’s mix up your Low Carb Baileys Irish Cream Coffee Creamer
The nice thing is that it really could not be any simpler than just mixing the three ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
Add your unsweetened almond milk to a medium bowl then add in your Keto Sweetened Condensed Milk.
Whisk slowly and well for the condensed milk to dissolve.
If you have difficulty with it dissolving, put your unsweetened almond milk and keto sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan to gently heat it up.
This will help to dissolve the sweetener in the condensed milk and prevent clumps of sweetener at the bottom of your coffee creamer.
Lastly, whisk in your Low Carb Baileys Irish Cream with or without Jameson Irish Whiskey added. Pour it into a measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring into an airtight container for storage.
Glass bottles are my favorite container for my coffee creamers, especially since its easy to pour from them. Mason jars work just as well.
It will keep 2-3 weeks in the fridge if you have chosen to use my Low Carb Copycat Baileys Irish Cream that contains Jameson Irish Whiskey.
If you are going the non-alcoholic route, then you can make the Irish Cream without the whiskey, and it will still taste great! You do need to use it up within 7 days though, or the best-by date on your heavy whipping cream you use in the Low Carb Copycat Baileys Irish Cream.

You can simply replace the Irish cream called for with 2 tbsp cocoa, 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp almond extract. Proceed with the recipe as usual.
Can I make this a completely dairy free homemade Irish Cream coffee creamer? Yes, you can opt for dairy free milks in the making of the Keto Sweetened Condensed Milk, then proceed with the recipe for making the creamer using the Unsweetened Almond Milk or other non-dairy milk. The flavor comes from the chocolate, almond and vanilla combined so the creaminess can come from any type of milk.
Can I freeze the Homemade Low Carb Irish Cream Coffee creamer? You can freeze in a jar as long as you only fill it half full to leave room for it to expand as it freezes. Alternatively, you can freeze into cubes and then use in a Frappuccino drink or to cool down a very hot coffee.
