One of the most common questions I get in our keto support group is, “what is the best keto coffee creamer?” And while many people on a keto diet opt to drink bulletproof coffee in lieu of creamer, many others (myself included!) just really wanted a regular low carb keto friendly coffee creamer. So, here it is! Skip the weird, artificially sweetened options at the store – this homemade sugar free coffee creamer is super easy to make!
Oh, and did I mention that you can make this keto coffee creamer recipe into 5 different flavors?! Whether you prefer yours plain or fancy, I have you covered.
Many commercial coffee creamers are loaded with sugar and corn syrup, and many of the sugar-free options contain weird ingredients and artificial sweeteners. Not this low carb coffee creamer! It uses Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend for a naturally sweet taste, plus it dissolves completely to keep every sip smooth — all with 0g net carbs.
Ingredients & Substitutions
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for sugar free coffee creamer, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
- Sugar-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk – You can’t buy it at the store, but it’s easy to make yourself with just 3 simple ingredients: Butter, heavy whipping cream, and powdered Besti. It acts as the base for the creamer.
- Unsweetened Almond Milk – This helps to get the keto friendly coffee creamer to just the right consistency. Unsweetened coconut milk beverage would also work for a nut-free option. (Be sure this is the liquid kind in a carton, not the thick kind in a can.) Dairy milk is not keto friendly, so I don’t recommend it.
- Heavy Cream – This adds rich and creamy flavor, and also helps with consistency, so it’s not too thick.
- Flavors – You didn’t think I would leave you with just a basic keto coffee creamer, did you? You totally can, but you can also add in flavors like vanilla extract, hazelnut extract, pumpkin puree, and cocoa powder for flavored sugar free coffee creamer. You can also make my sugar free peppermint mocha creamer for the holiday season.
VARIATION: Make it dairy-free and vegan!
To make this keto creamer dairy-free and vegan, use full-fat coconut milk (the kind from a can) in place of the heavy cream, including the cream used in the condensed milk and the part that is added later. Omit the butter in the condensed milk, or replace it with ghee if you can tolerate it.
How To Make Keto Coffee Creamer
This section shows how to make sugar free coffee creamer, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.
- Make the condensed milk. In a saucepan, make sugar-free condensed milk according to the instructions here.
- Add milk and cream. Whisk in almond milk and cream. If making pumpkin creamer, add pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. If making chocolate creamer, sift the cocoa powder over the pan. Whisk to combine. Heat briefly, until the ingredients incorporate and mixture is smooth.
TIP: The exact amount you get from this keto coffee creamer recipe will vary depending on how much you reduce the condensed milk.
If you reduce the condensed milk too much, add more almond milk and heavy cream at the end to get it to the desired consistency.
- Stir in extracts. Remove from heat. Mix in the extract(s). Taste the keto coffee creamer for sweetness while still warm, and add more powdered Besti to taste if desired. Serve immediately, or chill.
TIP: Expect thickening as creamer cools.
It will seem thin while warm, but it thickens in the fridge.
VARIATION: Collagen creamer!
If you want a collagen boost, add it directly to the creamer while it’s still warm. (I like this brand.) The amount to add is up to you. I’d recommend starting with 3-4 scoops for the batch of keto coffee creamer. You can also add collagen directly to your coffee.
How To Use Keto Creamer For Coffee
This keto creamer recipe is super easy to use — simply add it to black coffee! I recommend starting with 2 tablespoons, and increase to taste as needed.
Storage Instructions
- Store: Keep in a glass jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days.
- Freeze: Pour the low carb coffee creamer into ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe container or bag and store for up to 3 months. You can thaw in the fridge overnight, or simply add the ice cubes to piping hot coffee and let them melt.
Sugar Free Coffee Creamer To Buy
If you want to skip the prep time altogether, there are lots of keto-friendly coffee creamers — including dairy-free and shelf-stable options:
- Heavy Cream – If you want to keep it simple, just add heavy cream to your coffee. You can add Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend or sugar-free coffee syrup for sweetness if you like – unlike other keto sweeteners, these dissolve effortlessly!
- Nutpods – With a squeaky clean list of ingredients, this zero-carb liquid creamer froths up just as well as conventional types. Get them in tasty flavors like French vanilla, caramel and hazelnut!
- Natural Force Creamer – A sugar free creamer that tastes like half and half, but made with coconuts and MCT oil.
- Super Coffee Creamer – This low carb coffee creamer is sweetened with monk fruit and has a little extra protein in each serving.
- Laird Unsweetened Superfood Creamer – Powdered and shelf-stable… and made almost entirely out of coconut!
- Keto Coffee Creamer Powders – If you’d like to keep a powdered keto coffee creamer, you can simply stir together heavy cream powder or coconut cream powder with Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend to add sweetness. Or, try this one that includes a blend of grass-fed butter and MCT oil.

Tools To Make Keto Friendly Coffee Creamer

0What could I use with almond milk in place of the heavy cream to make this dairy free?
Wholesome Yum A
0Hi Rebecca, To make it dairy free, use full-fat coconut milk (the kind from a can) in place of the heavy cream.
Sally
0I just tried and this and was blown away! This is an outstanding recipe. The condensed milk was beyond tasty, all caramelized and creamy. Now I’m going to have to try some of your ice cream recipes, based upon the condensed milk. I bet they are fabulous. I will note that I had plain old granulated allulose on hand, so I just added another 2 Tbsp of that to compensate for the monkfruit. And because it’s being cooked, I figured the granulated sweetener would dissolve, and it did. Terrific! Thank you so much!
Ali
0I officially can no longer live without the vanilla creamer!!! It’s soooooo perfect!! Thank you!
Shelby
0I whipped up a batch of the hazelnut creamer and now I can’t drink coffee without it. It makes it such a treat!
Gina
0This recipe makes me look forward to my morning coffee so much more! Love the easy vanilla version!
Julianne
0Such a great idea to make your own coffee creamers! I especially love the pumpkin spice version, which I use year round, not just in the fall. This is a real money saver too!
Janice
0I really love this keto coffee creamer. It was such a go-to recipe whenever I ran out of it. I love how it elevates my coffee every time! A must-try indeed!
Danielle
0Could I make this bullet coffee if I just add butter and Mct oil?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Danielle, Here is a recipe for bullet proof coffee.
Kristina
0Can you do a dairy free version of this recipe? For the heavy cream could you substitute coconut cream?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Kristina, Yes, you can use coconut milk beverage in place of almond milk. Be sure this is the liquid kind in a carton, not the thick kind in a can.
Stacy
0Thanks for the recipe, it’s delicious! I’m wondering if you can freeze it? I apologize if you’ve already answered this question!
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Stacy, You can try to freeze keto coffee creamer, but it’s best to enjoy it fresh. Dairy items can change texture when it’s frozen.
M-k
0Did anyone else have issues with the butter hardening at the top after cooling?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi, I’m not sure what you mean since there is no butter in this recipe.
Sarah
0I have had the same problem with butter chunks when I use this in my iced coffee. It is the butter from the sweetened condensed milk recipe. Flavor is good but with butter chunks the texture is just off.
Jeannemarie Wilczynski
0I have been using this recipe with a similar sweetener and not had any problems. It is a lovely recipe. But when I use your sweetener blend, I end up with a sweet buttery crust on my cream that doesn’t blend back in. What am I doing incorrectly? As with everything, it is difficult to get the sweetener.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Jeannemarie, Did you use the powdered version of Besti?
Jeannemarie Wilczynski
0Yes, I did use the powdered Besti. And followed the recipe/ instructions. It looks great until it cools.
Dennis Demaree
0Just made this with Allulose only because that’s what we prefer. WOW, amazing, just the condensed milk by itself. Like a Carmel flavor, probably because allulose caramelizes. But adding the hazelnut you recommend. Can’t wait till tomorrow to have my coffee. We love all your recipes. Particularly loving Zuppa right now. Eating it 2 weeks in a row. Your app makes Keto so much easier.
Nancy
0Holy pumpkin spice, this is delicious. I wasn’t going to make it because making the condensed milk intimidated me -which is weird since I was a mad baker in my pre-keto life- but I am so glad I took the time to make this. It is amazing. I only have Stevia in the Raw that I’m trying to use up before buying the Besti and I can’t wait to try it with that. Don’t be scared!!! Make this!
Joel D
0This stuff is amazingly good. I sometimes sip a little out of the jar just as it is. I wonder if it could be used as a Keto fat bomb.
Lorie
0Can you use 18% cream from the grocery store, for the (heavy cream) in the recipe?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Lorie, I haven’t tried that specifically, but most likely the condensed milk would not reduce properly, since that only about half the fat content of heavy cream. Let me know how it goes if you try it, though.
Lorri Miller
0Can you freeze this, doubt I would finish it in 7-10 days from the fridge.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Lorri, I don’t recommend freezing this recipe, if you don’t want to waste the creamer it would be best to only make half of the recipe.
Valerie
0Well, I love this. First I made the sweetened condensed milk, and then the vanilla coffee creamer. YUMMY. I have been a canner for more than fifty years and I can milk, cream and butter, even though they say not to. Well, I am going to can some and let you know how it goes. I would waste this if my daughter is not here to visit. I would also like to send her home with some. Wish me luck.
Cathleen
0Valerie, did you can the creamer and how did it turn out? Did you establish sutible shelf life? I’m hoping to try it.
Margaret Woods
0Hi. Do you have a Keto powdered creamer recipe? If not, can you please create one? 😊 Thanks in advance 🙏
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Margaret, I will look into creating one, thanks!
Amber
0Hi! Can I just use canned condensed milk?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Amber, Canned condensed milk is very high in carbs so I do not recommend using that.
margaret.winters
0I went Low Carb this last June. I’m trying to improve my cholesterol and A1C numbers. I found this site by looking for a coffee creamer recipe. I use to love coffeemate creamer until I found out it is basically cancer in a jar. And I don’t want all the carbs. I made a purchase here on Wholesome Yum last month and found they have fabulous customer service!! I bought the hazelnut coffee syrup (among other items) mixed with almond milk, and while I don’t mind it, it still isn’t the consistency I crave for my coffee….so today I made the pumpkin flavored coffee creamer recipe and absolutely LOOOOVE it! I used butter made with olive oil. I am looking forward to making more of the wonderful recipes here on Wholesome Yum! thanks so much!
Wayne
0Thank you just what I was looking for..
MARG BEAVER
0How long can you keep this recipe?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Marg, This recipe is good in the fridge for 7 – 10 days. Enjoy!
Heather
0This is the best keto creamer! Super thanks Maya!
Jackie
0The coffee creamer recipe is the best ever. I made the pumpkin one and it tasted better than the one I buy at the store which they only carry during pumpkin season(oct to dec). Now I can have it when ever I want!!! I see lots of pumpkin spiced iced coffee in the summer!!!
Lorrie Montgomery
0Is it possible to leave out the sweetener. I don’t like anything sweet in my coffee.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Lorrie, I have not personally tried this, but it should work fine.
Samina
0Do the macros shown above include the Keto Sugar-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipe? If it does not, can you tell me the final macros with it included?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Samina, Yes, the nutrition includes the sweetened condensed milk. Enjoy!
Cheryl
0I’ve been hesitant to attempt this because I tried to make the sweet cond milk before and it was a failure. I don’t know what I did wrong before but this time it came out wonderful. If I could give it 10 stars I would!
Misty Smith
0How would you make it caramel flavored?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Misty, Allulose caramelizes just like sugar, so just continue to cook your condensed milk down until it turns brown and becomes thick. If you would like a more intense caramel flavor, you can add a small amount of caramel extract. Enjoy!
Jenniffer LaCroix
0Hi, I drink iced coffees. Would the powdered version work for this or would it not blend properly. I usually buy liquid creamers, which aren’t low carb or keto, but I’m trying to make it taste good without breaking the bank. I’m still new to making some of these recipes and I’m always afraid I’m going to fail and then its money lost. Haven’t tried it yet, but gave you 5 stars cause this looks good and I’ve tried other recipes from you, and they’re generally great.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Jenniffer, I’m not sure I understand your question. The powdered version of what?
Cheryl
0How long does the condensed recipe from your site need to cool before making the creamer?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Cheryl, The condensed milk does not need to cool between steps.
Anne Monterosso
0The one food item/habit that I still struggle with is drinking black coffee, the creamers at the store either don’t fit my low carb needs, taste awful or just are always out of stock. This recipe is going to help me have the Creamy flavoured coffee I love, and stay kept! Additionally I like knowing exactly what ingredients are in my creamer! THANKS Maya!
I have one of your cookbooks already but after this creamer recipe, I’m a serious fan!!
Joane
0This was easy to make & super delicious
Dawn
0about how long would this creamer last in the fridge?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Dawn, Your creamer will be good for 7 – 10 days.
Tami Gillette
0Any suggestions on how I could make an almond roca flavored creamer? It was my absolute favorite in my ‘pre-keto’ life and I’d love to find a way to enjoy it now too 🙂 Thank you for all your great recipes and informative explanations!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Tami, I think you could achieve that using extracts. I think almond and either toffee or caramel extracts could get you a very similar flavor!
Kim
0Guys, do not let this recipe intimidate you. I put off making it because the condensed milk kind of scared me. I thought I’d mess it up. It was so easy!!!!! And the result was delicious. I split the recipe at the end and made half vanilla and half pumpkin spice. So so good!!!!
Leah
0The hardest part about keto was giving up my creamer. 🙁 I don’t like black coffee or bulletproof coffee. I made this tonight and it taste wonderful, I cannot wait to try it in my coffee in the morning!
A few things to note, I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and it eliminated the need to add vanilla extract.
The only sugar alternative I had was Truvia, while I only needed very little to get it sweet, it didn’t blend or brown super well while I was making the “condensed milk” but it still taste pretty good. Just thought that might help someone else out! Next time I’ll make sure to order the sugar alternative that this calls for.
Shelley
0Pumpkin-y, creamy fall goodness!!
Dada Vai
0Great review article. This is the best article about keto creamer that ever read before. I found a lot of information from your article.
Thanks for sharing such an informative article.
Hopefully, waiting for your more article in the future.
Laura
0Made the pumpkin creamer and it is awesome!
Lucy
0What can you substitute the Heavy Cream with if you want to make it vegan?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Lucy, Canned coconut milk will work nicely here! Enjoy!
Alejandra G
0I am a huge fan of this recipe, it’s super easy to make and absolutely delicious! I just made my second batch, last week I made the chocolate creamer for the WholesomeYum challenge on Facebook and I made the vanilla creamer today. The chocolate creamer tasted like a Wendy’s Frosty, so yummy!
bren037@yahoo.com
0Hands down the best coffee creamer ( other than plain heavy cream) I have had in a long time! Others are way too sweet now that I am so used to drinking my coffee without sugar. I did the chocolate flavor. I followed the recipe as noted but realized I only used the Wholesome Yum Powdered Allulose instead of the monk fruit. But because I don’t like it overly sweet it was perfect! I will try each of the flavors eventually but I think chocolate will always be my go to flavor for sure! Thanks for all of your recipes. I am a fan for sure. They are going to make my keto journey so much easier!
Rayna
0OMG! I just made this tonight! It is absolutely DELISH! I made the Pumpkin Spice version of course. I mean it is Pumpkin Spice Season! I will definitely continue to make this creamer. I plan on trying all 5! Thanks for the amazing creamer recipe. Now I won’t feel guilty indulging.
bren037@yahoo.com
0I am going to make this recipe this weekend after I receive my Besti sweeteners. I have 2 questions. 1) can you add MCT oil for a boost? And 2) has anyone tried or would cinnamon be a good flavor or peppermint extract to the chocolate one for a peppermint mocha flavor?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Bren, Yes you can add MCT oil if you wish, but you may need to stir or shake your creamer before using to make sure the oil is fully incorporated. Cinnamon or peppermint flavoring will work great. They are both strong flavors, so start with small amounts and adjust to taste. Enjoy!
margaret.winters
0oh my gosh thanks for the idea of adding peppermint extract with the chocolate flavor for a peppermint mocha flavor 🙂
Megan
0I just made this for the first time. Wow! It is delicious! Thank you! I am a tea drinker and have never used creamer in my tea – just milk or cream. Who knew what I was missing. This makes my black tea taste so good. And, it is very easy to make. As you mention, a little prep goes a long way. Yum!
Robyn
0How could I make a butterscotch creamer? I bought a butterscotch flavoring for use in candy making thinking if I put some in my heavy whipping cream it would taste like butterscotch but it was horrid…..such an awful chemical taste that I threw it away. Any ideas?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Robyn, The trick is to start with a good extract. If it has a chemical taste, then it won’t work well in something like a creamer. I like this brand of extracts. Once you have a good extract, you can follow the recipe for hazelnut creamer with your butterscotch extract.
Carley
0Just made this and it’s delish! (I was amazed how good the sweetened condensed milk was too. It’s definitely something to use for desserts another time!)
I used the Wholesome Yum Allulose/monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract, and macadamia nut milk instead of almond milk. So good.
Sharon
0I’d really like to try this recipe but I just bought an erythritol/monk fruit blend and I don’t want to buy more sweetener. What proportions would I use to make your condensed sweetened milk if I don’t have Allulouse?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sharon, Use the same amount of sweetener as listed in the recipe. They are both 1:1 with sugar. Allulose is the best choice for a sweetener in this recipe, as it dissolves well in liquids and won’t crystallize. If you enjoy this recipe, I highly recommend you make it with Besti Monk Fruit Allulose for the best result.
Wilhelmina
0I am so glad to have found this recipe! Creamer is one thing I really struggle with, I just can’t drink my coffee black. This is wonderful!
Taryn
0Great recipe. Thank you!
Shadi Hasanzadenemati
0This is such a delicious recipe!
Gina
0Love this creamer recipe! A million times better ingredient list than store bought stuff.
Dannii
0I have never thought to make my own coffee creamer, but this looks really easy so I will give it a try.
Cindy
0Thanks for making this so easy! Tastes great!
