Pour a generous splash into your hot morning coffee. It creates a golden, creamy swirl that looks beautiful. You can also use it in iced coffee for a refreshing treat.
Top your mug with whipped cream and extra sprinkles for a café feel. Set the table for a leisurely weekend brunch and share with friends. It also makes a great “steamer” for kids when added to warm milk.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep your creamer in an airtight glass jar or bottle. Store it in the back of the fridge where it is coldest. It will stay fresh for one week.
Give the jar a gentle shake before each use. The sprinkles may settle at the bottom over time. This ensures every pour is full of festive color and flavor.
Tips for Best Results
- Do not let the mixture boil or it may curdle.
- Use clear vanilla extract to keep the creamer bright white.
- Wait until the liquid is cool before adding the sprinkles.
- Use a funnel to pour the creamer into your storage jar.
- For Mother’s Day, gift a jar with a bag of coffee beans.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- Stir gently so you do not break the sprinkles.
Ways to Switch It Up
- Swap half-and-half for oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- In summer, use chocolate sprinkles for a “cosmos” look.
- Use maple syrup instead of condensed milk for a different sweetness.
- Add a drop of pink food coloring for a princess-themed party.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, this is perfect for meal prep. Make it on Sunday to enjoy cake-flavored coffee all week long. It actually tastes better after the flavors meld overnight.

The sprinkles stay intact in the cold creamer. They will slowly melt in hot coffee, adding a tiny bit of extra sweetness. It is a fun surprise at the bottom of the mug!
