Healthful Homemade Coffee Creamer With Flavor Options!

Submitted by heatherhopecs

"I found this on thenakedkitchen.com after searching for an alternative to all the nasty chemicals in store-bought liquid coffee creamer. The recipe calls for condensed milk... if you truly want to go homemade all the way, search food.com for recipe #477375 (Homemade Condensed Milk!) and use that. Also, there are multiple flavor options available to add to the base, see the directions for the options."

I really enjoyed this! I went with the cinnamon strudel version, which is lovely in pumpkin coffee. I used skim milk, nonfat condensed milk, Truvia sweetener, and I omitted the thickener. My only complaint with the flavor I chose was that the cinnamon would settle out pretty quickly. I would probably use some type of cinnamon flavoring in place of the ground cinnamon instead. I haven't decided yet which flavor I want to try next, but I'm sure I'll try lots of them with the colder weather approaching. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall '12

I used your Recipe#477375 to make the creamer. I used soy milk, agave syrup and left out the cornstarch. I made the cinnamon strudel version and enjoyed it. Thanks! Made for PAC(Pick a Chef) event March 2013.
