This Homemade Sugar-Free Coffee Creamer is super tasty and made with just three simple ingredients.
This sugar-free coffee creamer recipe also fits the bill for anyone looking for a paleo coffee creamer or a keto coffee creamer recipe.
How Can I Sweeten My Coffee Without Sugar
My recipe has just three simple ingredients – milk, vanilla, and dates. While I use heavy cream for my own consumption, you are welcome to choose any milk that you like to drink.
If you find yourself with leftover dates, check out my archive of date recipes.
To make this paleo: use a non-dairy milk with some creaminess to it like coconut or cashew.
As this is already really low carb, leaving the heavy cream in would make this keto-friendly. All the powdered sugar substitutes that the keto diet uses do really weird things to my sensitive teeth, so this is an alternative that may work better for some keto followers.

Here’s How to Make It:
- Combine cream, dates, and vanilla in a saucepan and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes. Stir often.
- Transfer to a high-powered blender (like Vitamix), and blend until the dates are fully incorporated into the mixture. If you have a conventional blender, blend on high for 2-3 minutes.
- Then using a metal sieve, a piece of cheesecloth, or even a colander fitted with a tea towel (or paper towel), strain the mixture to remove any date particles that may remain.
Variations on Homemade Sugar-Free Coffee Creamer:
- Almond flavored: Add almond extract (yum) instead of the vanilla.
- Hazelnut: replace the vanilla with hazelnut extract.
- Chocolate Hazelnut (hold me): hazelnut extract and 1 tbsp dark cocoa powder.
- Cinnamon Roll creamer: add 2 tsp of ground cinnamon along with the vanilla extract.
- Chocolate Mint: 1 tbsp dark cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp mint extract. (related: try homemade)
