📝 Hazelnut Coffee Creamer Recipe
Yield: Approximately 2 cups | Prep time: 10 minutes | Total time: 15 minutes (plus soaking)
Ingredients
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1 Soak the Hazelnuts
Place the raw hazelnuts in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. This softens the nuts and makes them easier to blend.
2 Drain and Rinse
Drain the soaked hazelnuts and rinse them thoroughly with fresh water. Discard the soaking water.
3 Blend the Hazelnuts
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked hazelnuts and 1 cup of fresh water. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
4 Strain the Mixture
Strain the hazelnut milk through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp or save it for baking.
5 Combine the Creamer
In a bowl or jar, combine the strained hazelnut milk, heavy cream (or dairy-free milk), maple syrup (or sugar), vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk or shake until well combined.
6 Taste and Adjust
Taste the creamer and adjust the sweetness and vanilla to your liking. Add more sweetener or vanilla if desired.
7 Store and Enjoy
Transfer the creamer to an airtight bottle or jar and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.

✨ Pro Tips for Perfect Hazelnut Creamer
- Roast for extra flavor: Roasting the hazelnuts before soaking deepens their nutty flavor and adds a warm, toasted note.
- Use a high-speed blender: A powerful blender will make the creamiest, smoothest hazelnut milk.
- Adjust the sweetness: Start with ¼ cup of sweetener and add more to taste. Honey, maple syrup, or agave all work well.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon: For a warm, spiced flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Shake before using: The creamer may separate in the fridge — shake well before each use.
- Make it vegan: Use oat, almond, or coconut milk instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free version.
