Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup non-alcoholic Irish cream syrup or flavoring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sweetened condensed milk.
- Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for a few minutes.
- Stir in the non-alcoholic Irish cream syrup and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- If using heavy cream for extra richness, stir it in at this stage.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Pour the creamer into a clean glass jar or airtight container.
- Refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before each use.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10–14 days.
- Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
- Do not allow the mixture to boil while heating.
- For extra sweetness, add 1–2 additional tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk or almond milk with a dairy-free condensed milk alternative.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg while heating for a spiced variation.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup for a mocha version or caramel syrup for a caramel twist.
