Take your coffee to the next scrumptiously sweet level with this Homemade Salted Coffee Creamer recipe with all the sweetness of salted caramel right in your coffee.
Homemade Salted Caramel Coffee Creamer
Two homemade coffee creamer recipes in one month, you ask? Yes, it's true. I'd apologize, but this Homemade Salted Caramel Coffee Creamer is worth it, I assure you.
I absolutely adore caramel in my coffee. I don't know why. It's an obsession of mine. Like pumpkin, but all year long. And salted caramel is so popular right now (and for good reason, I might add), I just thought this would be perfect. And it is.
Do you know why salted caramel is delicious? It's because salt is kind of magical. Because, yeah, salt issalty. But it can also bring out other flavors as well. Whenever someone tells me their recipe didn't turn out because it just tasted kind of "off," I always suspect lack of salt is the culprit. It just does so much to help with flavor! If you're not adding salt to recipes, definitely start. Even baked goods. I just always use salted butter so I don't have to measure it out (Ha! Lazy, much?)
Anyway, there are TWO special cooking properties of salt that make this Homemade Salted Caramel Coffee Creamer fabulous.
- Salt cuts down bitterness. Since coffee is bitter, this is a good (and tasty!) thing.
- It can also help bring out sweetness, making salted caramel even better than your average caramel.
And so we combine these two tasty elements into one coffee creamer that I just know you'll love as much as me!

I added instant coffee and dark cocoa powder, a pinch more salt to this recipe and it’s much closer to the ID Salted Caramel Mocha. I’ve also tried another recipe with sweetened condensed milk but I find I don’t like the flavor of the canned milk at all.
