Salted Caramel Coffee Creamer + Iced Latte
Ingredients for Salted Caramel Coffee Creamer:
-
- 1½ cup Coconut Sugar
(can also use brown sugar although it’s refined)
- ¾ cup creamy non-dairy milk (I use canned coconut milk or almond milk. Can also use heavy cream or half and half if you consume dairy.)
- generous pinch of salt, about ¼-1/2 teaspoon (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat Coconut Milk
(or 1½ cups your choice of a creamy non-dairy milk, such as almond or cashew milk if you don’t like coconut. Can also use heavy cream or half and half if you consume dairy.)
- 1½ cup Coconut Sugar
Ingredients for Iced Salted Caramel Latte:
-
- 1-2 tablespoons reserved caramel
- 1 cup strong coffee, cooled (or 1-2 shots espresso)
- ½ cup ice
- ¼ – ½ cup salted caramel creamer, more or less to taste
Instructions for Salted Caramel Creamer:
-
- Place coconut sugar and ¾ cup milk into a sauce pan and stir until sugar is dissolved. Place over medium-low heat, stirring often to keep it from burning, until mixture comes to a low boil. Add salt and continue to stir until sugar is completely dissolved and caramel is smooth, about 2-3 additional minutes. Sugar should cook for a total of 4-5 minutes. Sauce may seem thin, but thickens as it cools. The longer you cook the sugar mixture, the more firm the finished caramel will be. (Notes: Coconut sugar caramel is a very dark color naturally, so don’t be alarmed. As long as you stir consistently over medium-low heat, it shouldn’t burn.)
- Remove ⅓ of the sugar mixture, about a scant ¼ cup caramel. This will be for drizzling into the bottom of the glasses for the lattes. If you don’t want extra caramel, you can leave it and just add a little more milk for the creamer.
- Slowly stir the can of full-fat coconut milk into the remaining caramel mixture and cook over medium-low heat until the milk and caramel are thoroughly combined.
- Store creamer in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Depending on the canned coconut milk you used, the creamer may become really thick after refrigerating. If this is a problem, you can stir in 1-2 tablespoons milk or water to help thin it down..
Instructions for Iced Latte:
-
- Drizzle reserved caramel into the bottom half of a large glass.
- Add ice and cold coffee or espresso.
- Pour in creamer, adding as little or as much as you like, to taste.
- Stir and enjoy!
