Low-Fat Chocolate Creamer

Submitted by erobbins4

"My husband loves chocolate creamer, but gave it up for a low fat diet. I have created this version so he can still enjoy his morning coffee treat. As written this recipe gives more of a dark chocolate creamer, but you can increase the sugar if you like sweeter. The most important thing is to use a good quality ingredients. I made first with Nestle Cocoa Powder, my husband found it bitter with a strange texture. I made the second time with Giradelli's and the flavor and texture were greatly improved."

A very rich, flavorful creamer. And low sugar to boot! I used Dutch cocoa I get from a local spice store, and it is dark. I am going to be making this to take in the motorhome on our "camping" trips. Made for Winter 2010 Comfort Cafe game.

I made this for myself using the Splenda and liked it so much, I made it using regular sugar for a coffee basket I was putting together for a church raffle. I'll be making this again (and again, and again!)

This is a GREAT make-it-yourself creamer. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be great to make up as gifts. Also, I plan to take it along on our camping trips. Thanks for sharing this, Erindipity.

I loved flavored creamers too when I lived in the U.S., but they are not available here. The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity as it allows adjustment of 3 common ingredients to best please your palate, esp since the level of creaminess & sweetness are so much a matter of pers pref. I found that I wanted a creamier & sweeter level than the recipe as it was written, so I doubled the creamer & Splenda & it was perfect for me. I enjoyed this after dinner tonite w/some fruit, but I cannot wait to start my day w/it tomorrow & maybe even add a bit of cinnamon or vanilla. I esp like things that are both simple & versatile. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.
