How to make Nestle Coffee Mate Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Liquid Coffee Creamer
Nestle Coffee Mate Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Liquid Coffee Creamer is a flavored coffee creamer inspired by the taste of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies made with rich, nutty brown butter.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/3 cup of brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips (or to taste)
- A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
- Brown the Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
- Create the Sweet Mixture: Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt to the browned butter, and if you’re using it, a pinch of cinnamon. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is homogeneous.
- Combine Milk and Cream: In a separate saucepan, gently heat the whole milk and heavy cream until warm, not boiling.
- Infuse the Milk: Once the milk mixture is warm, add the butter and sugar mixture to the saucepan and whisk occasionally, allowing all the flavors to meld together. Keep the mixture on low heat for about 5 minutes to ensure the flavors infuse.
- Melting the Chocolate Chips: Remove the cream mixture from the heat, add the mini chocolate chips, and stir until they are completely melted and combined with the cream. Place the saucepan back on very low heat to help the chips melt without burning the cream.
- Strain and Cool: To ensure a smooth texture, strain the creamer through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solid residue or unmelted chocolate pieces. Allow the creamer to cool down to room temperature, and then transfer it to a bottle or an airtight container.
- Storage: Store your homemade brown butter chocolate chip cookie coffee creamer in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use.
Tips for the Perfect Coffee Creamer:
- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of the ingredients matters when making your own creamer. Use the best quality butter and pure vanilla extract for the most authentic and flavorful results.
- Adjust to Taste: Personalize this recipe by playing with the amount of sugar for sweetness, using dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor, or adding more salt for a salty-sweet contrast.
- Temperature Matters: Be careful with the heat when melting chocolate and browning butter. You want to induce flavor without burning the ingredients.
- Shelf Life: Homemade creamers usually last for about 7-10 days in the fridge, so make small batches if you don’t consume coffee frequently.

Ingredients Substitutes
Creating a homemade version of the Nestle Coffee Mate Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Liquid Coffee Creamer allows you to tweak the recipe to your liking or substitute ingredients due to dietary restrictions or availability issues.
Base Ingredients and Substitutes:
1. Milk:
Standard recipes may use whole milk for richness.
Substitutes: For a dairy-free version, almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or soy milk are excellent alternatives. Each has a unique flavor profile, so choose based on your preference.
2. Heavy Cream:
Heavy Cream adds thickness and creaminess.
Substitutes: For a lighter version, use half-and-half or lighter creams. Dairy-free alternatives include full-fat coconut cream or a rich cashew cream prepared by blending soaked cashews with water.
3. Sweetener:
Traditional sweetener options include granulated sugar or brown sugar to mimic the caramelized flavor of brown butter.
Substitutes: For a healthier version, consider using honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Stevia or erythritol can serve as sugar-free alternatives but adjust according to your sweetness preference as their sweetness intensity varies.
Flavor Enhancers and Substitutes:
4. Butter Extract:
Butter extract helps achieve the rich flavor akin to brown butter without having to actually brown butter which might not mix well in a liquid creamer.
Substitutes: If butter extract is unavailable, you can add depth with a few drops of almond or vanilla extract, though it won’t completely replicate the buttery flavor.
5. Chocolate Extract or Cocoa Powder:
Chocolate extract adds the chocolatey depth without altering the texture of the creamer.
Substitutes: If unavailable, a small amount of high-quality cocoa powder can be dissolved in the milk base for the chocolate flavor. Unsweetened chocolate syrup is another option, though it may add extra sweetness.
6. Vanilla Extract:
Vanilla rounds out the flavors, adding an aromatic sweetness.
Substitutes: Without vanilla extract, you could use vanilla bean paste or the seeds scraped from a vanilla bean pod for a more intense and fresh vanilla flavor.
Final Thoughts
Remember that while this homemade recipe will differ from the shelf-stable options and won’t replicate the exact flavor of the Nestle product, it will offer a warm, comforting alternative with a homemade touch.
