My wife, Rachael, loves chocolate — like really loves it. She’s always adding cocoa powder to her coffee, so I figured, why not make her a chocolate creamer? After playing around with a few ingredients, I came up with this Chocolate Dream Creamer. It’s rich, creamy, and just sweet enough without being overpowering. Plus, it’s naturally dairy-free, so it’s easy on her stomach. Now it’s a regular in our fridge, and honestly, coffee just isn’t the same without it. If you’re a chocolate lover (or know someone who is), you’ve got to give this one a try.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Start by gathering your ingredients: almond milk, coconut milk, cocoa powder, agave (or honey), powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour the almond and coconut milk into a blender As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases made through links on this site., add the cocoa powder, agave or honey, powdered sugar, and salt. Blend on high for about 30–45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and the cocoa is fully dissolved.

Taste the mixture and adjust if needed. If you want more chocolate flavor, add another half tablespoon of cocoa powder. If it’s not sweet enough, you can add more powdered sugar, agave, or honey — start with an extra teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired sweetness. If you prefer a deeper sweetness without the extra sugar, try adding a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener.

For a little extra flavor, try adding a dash of cinnamon or cayenne — it gives the creamer a warm, slightly spicy kick that pairs beautifully with chocolate. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract to round out the flavors and give it a subtle sweetness. If you want to get creative, try adding a drop of peppermint extract for a mint chocolate vibe or a touch of hazelnut extract for a Nutella-inspired taste.

Once blended, pour the creamer into a sealed glass jar or bottle and store it in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for up to 1 week. Be sure to shake well before each use since natural separation may occur. If the cocoa starts to settle at the bottom, just give it a quick shake, and it’ll be good as new.

If you want to elevate your coffee experience even more, try frothing the creamer. Just heat it gently and use a milk frother or handheld whisk to create a velvety foam. It makes the most amazing chocolate latte — smooth, rich, and perfectly indulgent. You could also try using it to make an iced mocha by blending it with cold brew and a handful of ice. The possibilities are endless!

Final Thoughts on the Recipe

This Chocolate Dream Dairy-Free Creamer is the perfect way to give your coffee a little extra something. It’s smooth, chocolatey, and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients. What I love most is how versatile it is — you can adjust the sweetness, play with the flavors, or even turn it into a dessert topping.

If you want to make it extra special, try drizzling a little chocolate syrup into your coffee before adding the creamer. Or, for a decadent treat, stir a spoonful into hot chocolate for an even richer flavor. This creamer also works well in smoothies or even over vanilla ice cream — the combination of chocolate and creamy texture is hard to beat.

You could easily swap the almond milk for oat milk if you want a slightly thicker consistency. And if you’re looking for a sugar-free version, you could replace the agave or honey with a sugar-free syrup or a touch of stevia. If you prefer it sweeter, simply add more powdered sugar or sweetener until it tastes just right.

Since it’s dairy-free, it’s also easy on the stomach — perfect if you’re sensitive to heavy cream or lactose. Once you start making this at home, you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with store-bought creamer. It’s quick, easy, and tastes better than anything you’ll find on the shelves.
