Instructions
- Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
- Add the scraped vanilla bean seeds to the mixture and whisk thoroughly to combine the vanilla flavor.
- Stir in the caramel sauce until the creamer is fully blended and smooth.
- Transfer the creamer to a clean bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
- Refrigerate and shake well before each use. Use within 1 week.
Tips
- For a deeper caramel flavor, use homemade caramel sauce made by slowly cooking sugar.
- Vanilla bean paste can substitute the whole vanilla bean — use 1 tsp to maintain rich vanilla notes.
