Italian Sweet Cream Coffee Creamer

This was proclaimed a roaring success. My favorite creamer is the Italian Sweet Cream flavor. I figured how hard could it be to whip up a batch of that? I know people make at-home creamers all the time but this one is SO good! Instead of using milk, I used heavy cream and vanilla bean paste. To see those yummy little vanilla beans floating in the cream made me so happy! Save yourself a little money and make sure you know exactly what's going in your creamer!

Italian Sweet Cream 
Coffee Creamer


16 ounces (2 cups) heavy cream
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or use vanilla extract)
1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

Whisk until the sweetened condensed milk is fully incorporated into the cream.

Store in a container with a lid. Shake before using.

  1. This recipe is awesome! I did substitute heavy whipping cream with half and half because I wanted healthier ingredients.

  5. This is great to see because the makers of coffee mate have changed the original recipe and I won't buy it any longer. Yummy, my sweet Italian creem is back. Oh, I did add a dash of cinnamon.

  8. Hi Valerie,
    Thanks so much for this. I personally just use heavy whipping cream in my coffee, but one of my sisters uses Italian sweet cream coffeemate poison. I've been trying for years to get her to stop! So I will make this for her and see if she can kick the "fake creamer" habit!
    Thank you so much!

  13. I have been looking for a sweet cream recipe as the flavors in the store bought are changing (yuck!) and I have read the ingredients. Anyway - most of the recipes have you heat/cook the creamer/milk mixture. No cooking with this one? That is awesome!!

    1. You might try butter extract. I can't be sure because I have not tried it myself but anything is worth a try. Maybe slip a minute drop into your coffee when you poor the creamer in. Hope it works.

  17. Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been using Coffee Mate Italian Cream for the last year or two. I really kind of got addicted to the poison. The straw that "broke the camels back" was when I started reading the ingredients that were in it. The makers of Coffee Mate Liquid Creamers (Nestle) use a flavor enhancer called (HEK) with some numbers after it. It turns out the HEK stands for Human Embryo Kidneys. Apparently using the kidneys from an aborted fetus has something in it that enhances the flavor of many different things. It is even in PEPSICO products such as Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, Mug Root Beer and countless other products. They are using aborted baby kidneys in vaccinations for Shingles as well as the new Covid 19 shots. They are making cannibals out of us. If you doubt this, do a little googling!!!!!

    1. Joanie2 your statement is false and misleading at best. You should take your own advice and do some Googling of your own. It took me less than 2 minutes to find the truth.

      HEK 293 is a line of cells originally derived from human embryo kidney cells and that were grown in a tissue culture. The first source of the cells was a fetus that was legally aborted in the Netherlands in the 1970s. The cell line has been widely used in biological and medical inquiry, especially for cancer research.

      Fetal stem cell research has been used in cell biology for over 30 years. But no company is manufacturing food or other products intended for human consumption that contain aborted human fetuses.

      Senomyx has used the HEK 293 cell line in its flavor research to function as the mouth’s taste receptor cells, allowing the company to test hundreds of substances. But these cells are not in any of the actual food products that consumers would find on the market. CBS News wrote about this in 2011:

      "To non-scientists this may sound a bit strange, but the reality is that HEK 293 cells are widely used in pharmaceutical research, helping scientists create vaccines as well as drugs like those for rheumatoid arthritis. The difference here is that Senomyx's work for Pepsi is one of the first times the cells have (potentially) been used to create a food or beverage. (And it's important to note that no part of a human kidney cell are ever a part of Senomyx's taste enhancers or any finished food products.)"

      HEK-293 is not a flavoring, and not directly “made from” aborted fetus cells.
      HEK-293 is the name given to a specific line of cells used in various scientific applications.

      The original cells were taken from the kidney of an aborted baby in 1973. HEK 293 cells used nowadays are clones of those original cells, but are not themselves the cells of aborted babies.

      Senomyx, a biotechnology company, has patents appearing to relate to using HEK-293 cells in developing flavorings. HEK-293 is not in the flavoring itself.
      Most of these companies don’t use Senomyx products
      When we asked them for comment Campbell’s, KraftHeinz and the Coca-Cola Company said they did not use products made by Senomyx or any flavourings developed using HEK-293 cells in any of their products.

      PepsiCo confirmed to us that they do collaborate with Senomyx on research, but that none of that research uses any human tissue or cell lines derived from embryos or fetuses.
