For the life of me, I couldn’t find a coffee creamer from the store that had clean ingredients, didn’t cost a million dollars, and that actually tasted GOOD! Thus, my homemade cashew coffee creamer was born. And I never looked back!!!
The ingredients in this recipe are all things that you probably already have at home. All you really need are cashews and water, but I like to add a few things to jazz it up 😉
I add cinnamon, vanilla extract, a tiny dash of pink salt, and sometimes a sweetener. I like using honey as a sweetener but feel free to use whatever you have on hand! Maple syrup, coconut sugar, and stevia are all good options.
My favorite part about this recipe? There is NO STRAINING involved! Cashews blend up really nice and smooth on their own. If you use almonds or another nut, you may have to use a nut milk bag to strain.
I make a fresh batch of this homemade cashew creamer every single Monday morning. Thank goodness it only takes a few minutes! My favorite way to make my coffee is to blend a cup of hot coffee, a splash of this cashew creamer, a scoop of collagen, and a dash of Bulletproof brain octane oil (or MCT oil). Tastes better than Starbucks, is much cheaper AND healthier! Win, win, win!
Cashew Coffee Creamer (dairy-free + no straining!)
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cashews* (see notes)
- 1/2-1 cup filtered water (the less water you add, the thicker it will be. I personally like my coffee cream to be on the thicker side)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- cinnamon (to taste- I add a few dashes)
- pink salt (optional- I use a tiny dash)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to your blender.
- Blend on high for 1-2 minutes. You may have to use a rubber spatula's to scrape the sides of your blender and then blend again.
- That's it! No straining neccesary with cashews 🙂
I am so used to the French vanilla sugar filled creamers so I was afraid to try this recipe. Holy cannoli it was amazing and truly so easy. I will for sure be using this as a creamer alternative now.
This made my day! I am so happy you love it! XO
After trying this & the pumpkin creamer I literally don’t like store bought creamer any more!!! This has been my go to creamer for a few months and I’m obsessed! 10/10 would recommend:)
Aww, I’m so happy to hear that!!!! I’m in Germany right now and it’s definitely one thing I miss about being home because I don’t have a blender here 😂 thanks so much for the comment!
Nice and quick
Yay, glad you enjoyed!
How long does this last in the fridge?
It usually lasts 5-7 days for me!
The taste is amazing and the recipe is so quick & simple. All of callas recipes are amazing. Yet I do have a quick question. I noticed my formula was a bit grainy with a bit residue, any recommendations on how to fix that?
Aw, thanks so much for the kind words! if you don’t have a high-powered blender, that can happen! You can strain it using a nut milk bag (I have the brand Ellie’s Best that I ordered on Amazon) and that should take care of it 🙂 hope that helps!! XO
Any tips for how to really refine the blending of the cashews? I thought my blender did the trick but there was quite a bit of cashew build up at the bottom of my coffee…
Hi Emily! Sometimes if you don’t have a high-powered blender, that can happen 🙁 you can strain it using a nut milk bag (I have the brand Ellie’s Best that I ordered on Amazon) and that will take care of it + only add a minute or less to the process 😃 hope that helps!!
This is probably a silly question, but do you use raw or roasted cashews?
Hi! Not silly at all 🙂 I usually use raw but roasted will work too (as long as they aren’t salted). Hope that helps!
