Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (13.5–14 oz) full-fat coconut milk (unsweetened; shaken well)
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust for thickness)
  • 2–3 pitted Medjool dates or 2–3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt (balances sweetness)
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • Optional for extra silky texture: 1 teaspoon MCT oil or melted coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Prep the dates. If using dates, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften. Drain well.
  • Blend until smooth. Add coconut milk, water, dates or maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a blender. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until fully smooth and creamy. If you like, blend in cinnamon, cardamom, or a teaspoon of MCT oil for extra body.
  • Check the texture. For a thicker, more decadent creamer, reduce the water. For a lighter creamer, add a splash more water and blend again.
  • Taste and adjust. Add a little more sweetener if needed, a tiny pinch more salt to round it out, or more vanilla for aroma.
  • Strain (optional). If you used dates and want an ultra-smooth finish, pour the creamer through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag.
  • Bottle it up. Transfer to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight lid. Label with the date.
