How to Make Easy No-Heat Homemade Hazelnut Creamer Made in the Blender in Just Minutes!
Hi! If you’ve been following me for long you’ll already know this, but for those who are new, welcome to Far From The Farm. I’m Mona, the Brit behind the recipes, learning life and food in the States while sharing our debt-free journey and what’s on the menu in our home today!
Hazelnut coffee just feels cozy, doesn’t it?
It has that warm café style flavor that somehow makes an ordinary cup of coffee feel a little more comforting without needing a full coffee shop run.
And while I absolutely love my original from scratch homemade hazelnut coffee creamer recipe, lately I’ve also been trying to simplify things even further where I can, whilst also expanding the types of homemade creamers I make.
And some days I simply do not want another saucepan to wash!
This easy dairy-free version has become one of my favorite quick little shortcuts because it comes together entirely in the blender with no heating required at all.
Just pour, blend, refrigerate, and it’s ready to go for the week ahead.
I also really love that homemade dairy-free creamers usually contain far fewer ingredients than the store bought versions.
A lot of bottled dairy-free creamers can end up packed with oils, gums, stabilizers, and extra ingredients that honestly make my head spin a little when I read the label.
This version keeps things simple, creamy, and budget friendlier too.
As a military family deep into baby step 2 of our debt free journey, homemade little swaps like this genuinely help stretch our grocery budget further without making life feel boring or restrictive.
And because this uses canned coconut milk, it creates a surprisingly rich and creamy texture that works beautifully in both hot coffee and iced coffee.
The vanilla softens the hazelnut flavor slightly and helps give it that cozy coffee shop feel without needing loads of ingredients.
And the best part? It takes about two minutes to make.
And just a reminder that if you’re struggling and you need help with managing your budget or starting your own debt free journey then here’s some FREE resources below you may find helpful!

So grab your blender and let’s make this super simple dairy-free hazelnut coffee creamer together!
Equipment
- High-speed blender like the Vitamix range
- Measuring spoons
- Glass jar or airtight container
Available on Amazon.com [ad]
Ingredients
Makes about 2 cups
- 14 oz coconut milk (most store bought cans will be 13.5–14 oz, either is fine)
- 3 tbsp dairy-free sugar-free hazelnut syrup, like the one below
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Available on Amazon.com [ad]
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Pour the coconut milk, hazelnut syrup and vanilla extract into your blender.
We personally use sugar-free hazelnut syrup, but you absolutely do not have to. The vanilla helps round out the flavor and makes it taste a little richer.
Canned coconut milk can naturally separates in the can, this is normal and it will blend up fine so don’t worry about it.
Step 2
Blend on high for 15–30 seconds until fully combined and creamy.
Step 3
Pour into a glass jar or airtight container and refrigerate.
Shake before each use and enjoy in coffee, cold brew, or tea!
Notes and Troubleshooting
Notes
- Full-fat coconut milk gives the creamiest texture.
- Sugar-free hazelnut syrup keeps this lower sugar but regular syrup works too.
- Blending the coconut milk first helps create a smoother finished creamer.
- This recipe works beautifully in both hot and iced coffee.
Troubleshooting
My creamer separated in the fridge
That’s completely normal for homemade dairy-free creamers. Just shake before using.
My hazelnut flavor tastes too light
Add another tablespoon of hazelnut syrup next time for a stronger café style flavor.
My creamer tastes too thick
Add a small splash of dairy-free milk and shake well.
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Shake before each use for the best creamy texture.
- Do not freeze.
