Pistachio Latte Creamer Recipe Ingredients
You don’t need much to make this creamer recipe! Find ingredient notes (including substitutions and swaps) below.
- Pistachio butter – while almond and peanut butter are super common and sold at nearly every grocery store, pistachio butter is definitely harder to find. We bought this raw pistachio butter from Amazon and found it to be really tasty!
A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Recipe Variations and Modifications
- Swap the milks – we chose part heavy cream and part whole milk for this recipe, but you can truly use whatever you have on hand. All half and half would work, as would part heavy cream and part skim milk.
- Make your own pistachio butter – if you can’t find pistachio butter (or don’t want to wait for an online order to arrive), feel free to make your own! Simply blend a half cup of shelled pistachios until soft – this will take a few minutes and will go through stages (first crumbly, then sand-like, and, finally, buttery). If, after 5 minutes of blending, the pistachios have still not reached the “buttery” stage, stop the blender and add in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and then continue blending until the pistachio butter forms.
- Adjust the sweetness – use more or less maple syrup to sweeten the creamer to your liking!
- Make it dairy-free – swap both the whole milk and heavy cream for canned coconut milk or a dairy-free heavy cream (or half and half) substitute. Califia Farms, Nutpods, and Silk all have their own versions that look to be really yummy!
- Make it grain-free – this recipe is grain-free as is!
- Make it gluten-free – this recipe is also gluten-free as written.

Recipe Tip
Because this creamer is homemade and does not contain any stabilizers, give it a good shake before pouring it into your coffee to combine any separation.
How to Serve
Serve your creamer with hot or iced coffee, and for the most coffee shop-like experience, be sure to dollop whipped cream (regular homemade whipped cream or dairy-free whipped cream) on top, followed by a sprinkle of chopped pistachios!
How to Store
Store the pistachio creamer in an airtight jar (think: mason jar) in the fridge. As far as how long you can store it goes, you’ll want to look at the labels on both your heavy cream and whole milk to see their expiration dates – keep your creamer in an airtight container in the fridge until you reach the nearest expiration date.
