ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (or full-fat coconut milk)
1/3 cup allulose
1/3 cup Swerve Confectioners
1/2 vanilla bean (optional)
1/3 cup collagen protein powder
3/4 cup hemp milk (or almond milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Additional sweetener, to taste

directions

I start by combining the heavy cream, allulose, and Swerve Confectioners in a medium saucepan over medium heat. I bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Once it starts to bubble, I reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Then I remove it from the heat.

If I’m using a vanilla bean, I split it open, scrape out the seeds, and add both the seeds and pod to the pan. I cover the saucepan and let the mixture steep for 20 minutes before removing the pod.

Next, I whisk in the collagen powder, hemp milk, and vanilla extract. I taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed with a little more sweetener.

I let the creamer cool completely before transferring it to a glass jar. I store it in the refrigerator and shake well before each use.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 16 servings. It takes 5 minutes to prep, 15 minutes to cook, and 20 minutes total from start to finish.

Variations

I use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free version.
A dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice gives it a seasonal twist.
For a mocha version, I whisk in a teaspoon of cocoa powder.
I swap hemp milk for almond or macadamia milk depending on what I have.
I sometimes add MCT oil for an energy boost.

storage/reheating

I store the creamer in a glass jar or airtight bottle in the fridge for up to 1 week.

To use, I shake it well and pour directly into hot or iced coffee. If it thickens in the fridge, I let it sit out for a few minutes or warm slightly before using.
