📖 Variations
Create your own coffee creamer flavors by changing and/or adding a few different ingredients:
- Make vanilla coffee creamer by substituting 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for the almond extract.
- Make mocha coffee creamer by eliminating the almond extract and substituting ½ cup of the sweetened condensed milk wiith ½ cup of chocolate syrup. Enhance the chocolate flavor more by adding a heaping tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
- For mocha amaretto coffee creamer, follow the instructions above and leave the almond extract.
- Pumpkin spice coffee creamer can be made by adding ¼ cup pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Leave out the almond extract.
💭 Tips
- To prevent spoiling, freeze ½ of the coffee creamer recipe in an airtight freezer safe container. Thaw in the fridge before using.
- For a creamier richer coffee creamer, use heavy cream or whole milk in place of the half and half.
- To reduce fat, substitute 1% or fat free milk for the half and half.
- If you like more intense flavors, increase the extract ¼ teaspoon at a time.
