They rolled out this cold brew creamer two summers ago and I immediately fell in love. This vanilla-flavored creamer has more body than half-and-half and makes for the creamiest cold coffee. Not to be too hyperbolic, but this creamer is obsession-worthy. After my first sip of Starbucks’ cold brew coffee with sweet cream, I knew I had to recreate both at home, because my coffee budget and my schedule don’t have room for daily coffee runs. This three-ingredient coffee creamer is going to change your coffee game this summer, plus it is super simple to make. What Is Starbucks-Style Sweet Cream?There are plenty of sweet, vanilla-flavored creamers in the dairy case at the grocery store, so what is the deal with the Starbucks’ version? Starbucks batch mixes this creamer so there are no gums or thickeners, and yet the resulting sweet cream is still velvety. A short internet search will quickly give you Starbucks’ recipe for sweet cream at home: heavy cream, 2% milk, and their vanilla syrup. While heavy cream and 2% milk are easy enough to grab at the grocery store, and making simple syrup at home is pretty easy, when I mixed up a version of the heavy cream-based version at home I found it lacking. What aren’t you telling us, Starbucks? The cream clumped up a bit in the icy cold coffee and the vanilla flavor fell flat. I experimented with a few versions before landing on this recipe that’s flavored and sweetened with sweetened condensed milk! This somewhat surprising addition was worth the trial and error, because the sweetened condensed milk makes this creamer as easy as opening a pantry-ready can (no waiting for simple syrup to cool) and the condensed milk‘s thick texture gives the creamer the extra body that Starbucks gets from their vanilla syrup.
