Recipe Tips & Variations
Curious about how to vary your Italian sweet cream coffee creamer? Here are our quick tips:
Kinds of Milk
We like to use regular milk and canned sweetened condensed milk in this recipe. You can use any kind of milk you have on hand, including alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk. Don’t have fresh milk? You can always use a can of evaporated milk. If you want a richer creamer, you can use heavy cream instead of milk, but keep in mind that this will increase the calorie count.
Extra Flavors
The easiest way to add different flavors to your coffee creamer is after you remove the milk from the heat. You can add vanilla extract and almond extract as we do in our recipe, or you can add any other extract you like. Mint and hazelnut extracts are especially tasty options. You can also mix in spices like cinnamon or cardamom for a wintry creamer.
