I confessed my addiction to flavored coffee creamer last year. We ran out of our French Vanilla coffee mate again, and being a mom of two little kids I need a cup of coffee to function in the morning. Just adding sugar and cream didn’t do it for me, I needed a little something extra. So I made my own vanilla coffee creamer and it has been holding me over well.
I am also entering the November photo challenge over at Junglefrog Cooking, Simone is simply fabulous and such a talented food photographer. This month theme is food or drink in a glass – perfect!
Here is what you need to make about 200ml of creamer.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup of sweetened condense milk
- 150 ml of heavy cream
- scrapings of one vanilla bean
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Method
1. Gently warm cream and condense milk, don’t bring to boiling point.
2. Add Vanilla bean scrapings and extract. Stir and fill into glass bottle with screw top.
3. Let cool and store in refrigerator, mine has been doing well for more than 7 days now…not counting the diminishing quantity 😉
Give this is a try! I will make some gingerbread latte mix next. This also makes a great edible Christmas gift for coffee and sugar lovers.
What flavor do you crave in your coffee?
Hugs
Dani!

Sounds yummy! I have to try this.
Jasmin says
Great, I’m all about vanilla 🙂 The vanilla extract you posted recently is still resting but it looks really good already! As I have some days off next week I will try it in some cookies or stuff 🙂
Dani says
Oh good, glad the vanilla extract is coming along 🙂 You should try this creamer, for sure!
Simone says
O that sounds pretty good Dani. I love my coffee, especially in the morning (having one right now) but I like it plain. Just milk. Preferably hot milk but that’s not always an option or is just too much work.. 😉 But love your little vanilla container!
Simone says
O and ofcourse… double fantastic that you made it into the challenge for this month!! Whoohoo!!
