What does it taste like?
This homemade s’mores coffee creamer tastes like a cozy summer night by the campfire—no flame required. The indulgent duo of heavy cream and half-and-half gives it a luxuriously silky texture, while melted mini marshmallows bring that unmistakable gooey sweetness you’d expect from a perfectly roasted s’more.
Rich chocolate syrup weaves through the creamer like molten candy, creating deep cocoa notes that pair beautifully with the warm, golden hints of honey. A touch of sugar ties it all together, delivering a nostalgic flavor that’s equal parts creamy hot cocoa, buttery graham cracker, and toasted marshmallow magic.
Why You’ll Love This Homemade Creamer Recipe
- All-Natural Yum - Unlike store-bought creamers made with artificial flavors, palm oil, and preservatives, this dreamy DIY is made with just 6 real, easy-to-pronounce ingredients.
- Quick & Easy - All you need are 6 ingredients, one saucepan, and about 10 minutes to make a batch of this copycat Chobani s’mores creamer.
- One & Done - If you’re the meal-prepping sort, add this creamer and homemade cold brew to your list—you can sort an entire week’s worth of coffee breaks ahead of time!
Ingredients Needed
- Half & Half & Heavy Cream - Half & half is already a rich blend of equal parts milk and cream. Adding extra cream to the mix ensures a lusciously thick consistency and velvety mouthfeel.
- Mini Marshmallows - Melting real marshmallows into the creamer adds the signature s’mores flavor in a particularly convincing way.
- Granulated Sugar - A touch of white sugar helps round out the base with just enough sweetness.
- Chocolate Syrup - Feel free to use store-bought for convenience, or swap in my homemade mocha syrup for an extra chocolatey flavor.
- Honey - A classic component of graham crackers, sweet, lightly floral honey adds a lovely complexity to the creamer. If possible, use a dark local honey for the boldest honey flavor.
Substitutions
- Half & Half - Feel free to make your own by mixing equal parts whole milk and cream, or swap in your favorite vegan alternative.
- Heavy Cream - Slightly lighter whipping cream works just as well.
- Mini Marshmallows - Larger marshmallows work fine, they just take longer to melt. Consider cutting them first to speed the process.
- Granulated Sugar - Pure cane sugar is a less-processed alternative with a similarly neutral flavor. You can also use brown sugar if you prefer a more caramel-like sweetness.
- Chocolate Syrup - Try using dry hot cocoa mix as a pantry-friendly alternative.
- Honey - Maple syrup, agave nectar, or brown sugar can all be used instead, though the graham cracker flavor might not feel as prominent if you do. Feel free to add a dribble of graham cracker extract if you like!
How To Make S’mores Coffee Creamer
Step 1: Heat. Add half & half and marshmallows to a saucepan and heat over low.
Step 2: Melt. Heat until the marshmallows melt and whisk to combine. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Add the remaining ingredients to the pan.
Step 4: Whisk to combine, ensuring the sugar dissolves fully.
Step 5: Cool the s’mores creamer, decant to a syrup bottle, and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Optional Variations & Dietary Adjustments
- Dairy-Free: Use 1 cup oat milk and 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk in place of the half-and-half and heavy cream, or use the vegan half & half and whipping cream alternatives of your choice.
- Vegan: Follow the instructions for making dairy-free s’mores creamer, then swap in organic cane sugar for white sugar and maple syrup or brown sugar for the honey.
- Sugar-Free: Use your favorite cup-for-cup sugar alternative (e.g. monkfruit or stevia blends) and keto-friendly honey. Alternatively, omit the honey but add a splash of graham cracker extract.
Serving Suggestions
While this s’mores creamer is an obvious win for livening up your coffee, there are so many more ways to enjoy its dessert-like flavor:
- Cold Foam - Froth it up like sweet cream cold foam and dollop it over cold brew or iced coffee for a velvety, marshmallowy cloud of indulgence.
- Cereal Milk, but Make It S’mores - Pour it over plain cereal like Cheerios or corn flakes for an instant upgrade that tastes like Saturday morning cartoons.
- Oatmeal Sweetener - Stir a splash into hot oats or overnight oats to turn a simple bowl into a chocolate-marshmallow treat. Go the extra mile and add a few mini chocolate chips and crumbled graham crackers or graham cereal to really sell it!
- Hot Cocoa Enhancer - Add a swirl to hot chocolate for an extra creamy texture that mimics melted marshmallows.
- Milkshake Mixer - Use it in place of milk when making chocolate or vanilla milkshakes for an easy flavor boost.
- S’more French Toast or Pancakes, Please - Swap it in for regular milk in your French toast custard or pancake batter for a fun, s’mores-inspired twist.
Recipe Success Tips
- Low and Slow is the Way to Go. Marshmallows can scorch easily, so keep the heat low and stir frequently to avoid any burnt sugar notes (although, a little bit of scorching does enhance the campfire s’mores theme). Patience pays off with a smooth, evenly melted base.
- Whisk It Well. Once you add the chocolate syrup, sugar, and honey, give it a thorough whisk to make sure everything dissolves fully. You want a uniformly creamy texture with no graininess.
- Strain if Needed. If your marshmallows don’t melt completely or you see any lumps, pour the finished creamer through a fine mesh strainer for a silky-smooth finish.
- Smart Storage. Opt for a syrup bottle or mason jar with a pour-spout lid to make it easy (and tidy) to use your creamer.
- Shake Before You Pour. Since we aren’t using any chemical emulsifiers, some ingredients can settle. Give the s’mores creamer a good shake each time before using to reincorporate the flavors.
FAQs
It honestly depends on the coffee creamer—many store-bought versions aren’t made with any cream, so they’re typically not stable enough for turning into whipped cream. This s’mores creamer recipe can be whipped into loose peaks, more like cold foam for cold brew coffee than actual whipped cream. If you prefer to whip it like cream and get it to stiff peaks, replace the half and half with more heavy cream. Also, make sure it’s very cold! Hot cream won’t hold the air.
Yep! As of publication in 2025, Chobani has brought back their limited edition s’mores flavor for summer. That said, you never know when supplies will run out or if/when it’ll come back. Plus, the store-bought stuff costs over $5 for just 2 cups! Now that you know how to make your own, though, you can have Chobani-style s’mores creamer whenever you get the craving.
While Dunkin’s creamer earns points for actually using milk and cream (unlike some competitors), they still add nutritionally questionable ingredients like palm oil (why not just use more cream or use whole milk instead of skim?), dipotassium citrate, dipotassium phosphate, artificial flavors, and carrageenan. My homemade version skips all the weird stuff, sticking only to real, pronounceable ingredients you can find in a regular kitchen.
In my view, the unhealthiest coffee creamers are ultra-processed varieties made with artificial ingredients. These include hydrogenated oils (trans fats), high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and a long list of emulsifiers, stabilizers, colors, and flavors. While convenient, these ingredients can contribute to inflammation, disrupt gut health, and offer little to no nutritional value. Personally, I prefer to avoid artificial additives and stick to real-food-based creamers made with recognizable ingredients like dairy, plant milks, natural sweeteners, and spices—which is why I usually make my own!

Each generous ¼ cup (4 tablespoon) serving of this homemade s’mores creamer contains approximately 170 calories, with 9 grams of fat, 2 grams of protein, 35 mg of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, and 18 grams of sugar.
While it’s definitely an indulgent treat, the beauty of making your own creamer at home is knowing exactly what’s in it. This recipe uses real ingredients like heavy cream, half & half, mini marshmallows, and a touch of honey—no hydrogenated oils, artificial thickeners, or chemical preservatives in sight.
Think of it as a dessert-like enhancement to your coffee, best enjoyed in moderation—but far more wholesome than its ultra-processed counterparts. Plus, a little goes a long way—you may not need all 4 tablespoons in a single cup of coffee, meaning you can stretch the sweetness out over several coffee breaks throughout the day.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups half & half
- ¾ cup mini marshmallows (toasted if desired)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- If you'd like to toast your marshmallows, preheat oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the marshmallows evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-6 minutes, or until browned and crispy (do not burn). Set aside.

This year my husband and I have been aiming to eat healthier. Note, not “healthy” just healthier (need to be realistic). One of the things that I wanted to try and help with that is to change our coffee creamers. I have been looking for creamers without a lot of the added junky chemicals and while we were able to find some, the flavors were always so boring. I was really excited to find this recipe because my husband LOVES s’mores creamers so I decided to give this a try. This was really good, with a few tweaks. First, I didn’t want to use commercial chocolate syrup (high fructose corn syrup and chemicals…no thanks) and making a full batch of chocolate syrup for only two tablespoons didn’t make much sense. What I ended up doing was just using unsweetened cocoa powder and added a tiny bit of extra sugar and vanilla extract. I also ended up adding more marshmallows because you really didn’t get the full marshmallow flavor. One last thing was increasing the amount of honey for that graham cracker hint. My hubby came home from work and is trying it now. Verdict: “Oooo, that’s good.” I think this is a winner and I will be making again.

I'm glad you loved it! I'm not big on honey so I didn't add probably as much as most people would like. I'm glad your tweaks turned out good!
