Sweetened Cashew Creamer is fast, simple and creamy. Make a weekly batch and this wonderful option can always be on hand.
I have coffee every morning. There is no shying away from it and I am taking full responsibility along with the fact that I have to have creamer. Thank goodness for cashews!
My brain does not seem to be working yet. It is early morning and I think I am going to go in and get a cup of coffee. Oh, boy! Cashew creamer here I come.

Gottagetback says
I NEVER comment on any blogs (ok, I have twice) but I had to comment on this. This is a winner! I made it last night and am having it in my coffee now. Awesome! Perfect! Thank you for revolutionizing my morning!
Ginny McMeans says
I hope he goes for it Kari!
Ginny McMeans says
hahaha! Leave it to me Joy. I meant animal fats. I need to change that. Thanks for the heads up.
Joy says
This looks amazing. I do have a question though. The first line of the post states that it is fat free. Can you explain that to me? I thought cashews contained fat? I am still going to make it because I eat fat, I was just curious. Thanks so much. I have just found your website and I am in love. Everything looks amazing!
Kari says
My husband hates almond milk and coconut milk in his coffee, but he needs that creaminess. This is something we haven’t tried yet! Fingers crossed…:)
Lauren @ Healthy Delicious says
Love this! I’ve been using cashew milk in my coffee lately (it’s so good!) and I bet it’s even better with that little hit of maple.

I could not function without my morning coffee, and I love this alternative to non-dairy creamers at the store
Colleen (Souffle Bombay) says
Love that you made your own – often its better than the original!

This sounds so delicious! I gave up the ‘toxic’ coffee creamers earlier this year and have been experimenting with different ways to sweetened my coffee instead. I’ll definitely be trying this!

I certainly would have though you’d have to strain this but it’s nice to know there’s no need! Super easy!
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
Neat! I’m just figuring out that I may have a dairy issue so I’ve been trying out some cashew based pasta sauces and such. So far, so good. 🙂
Cookin Canuck says
My friend is trying to wean herself off of her sugared-up coffee creamer and I have a feeling she’s going to be very happy when I send her this recipe. What a great alternative to anything you can find at the store.

Okay, I know I’ve probably said this to you before, but I’m so intrigued by cashew creams, cheeses, etc – and really want to try making some. I have to have my coffee every morning , too…so maybe I’ll start here!

I’ve tried the store-bought cashew milk and loved it – and now I can make this creamer at home! I’m excited to try it!

Creamer is an absolute must for hot beverages. I like how simple this cashew option is to make.
Stephanie @ Back for Seconds says
I don’t drink coffee in the morning for some reason, but I have it almost everyday when my kids lay down for a nap. I guess I drink it more for the experience 🙂 This creamer sounds great and much healthier than store bought!
