Hello, I am ZYG and I am addicted to...

Argh! I meant "Check the Cooking & Crafts Forum", not thread!

NeHi

I've used dry milk, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream for coffee creamer in a pinch.

I feel your pain ZYG I have been looking for a 12-step program here too... no luck

I like chocolate creamer in mine. I use the recipe posted above for hot chocolate, w/ more powdered creamer in it.

Sorry, I have no idea how to make the powdered creamer itself...

Here's what I do every Christmas and people beg for more each year:

1 cup non-dairy creamer ( I buy this in bulk at the store when it's on sale)
1 cup confectioner's sugar (any weight will do)
1 1/2 Teaspoons any kind of EXTRACT you want to use..

mix it up well until it appears to be 100% powder again..no "clumps".Nothing worse than a "clump" of 100% extract in your coffee..UGH.

I pour this into pint canning jars and put the lids on, then "decorate" the lids with a simple piece of country-style fabric cut with pinking sheers and tied on with raffetta "ribbon"..I add a small tag to the jar, saying what flavor coffee creamer is inside:

Amaretto
Mint
Rum
Vanilla
Almond

I like chocolate milk in my coffee...so I would be tempted to add cocoa to my mix.

I like the thought of putting vanilla ice cream in my coffee - YUMMY!

Thanks, Pony. I needed the laugh.

Try adding the extract and shaking all very well then perhpas let sit open for and hour or so to let any dampness evaporate. Personally I have never had any problem with this issuebut I must admit I've only made these occasionally over the years...The cinnamon spice variety is good in Hot choclate also at the holidays..........

Don't feel bad. I have been badly addicted to International Delight Amaretto Coffee creamer for over 10 years. I try not to buy it. I buy evaporated milk to use in place of it. Then can't stick to it. No other brand taste as good. And the stores in our area will not carry that exact brand or if they have that brand, it won't be amaretto. The convenience store where I buy gas, stocks it for me. I buy 3 at a time. I have been meaning to try these recipes for some time.

I misunderstood your post. I thought you wanted recipes for "creamer". If all you are looking for is "flavored creamer" I can find a couple million of those.

Sorry if these have been posted already. Have fun!

I'm with you ZYG. I am addicted to non-dairy creamer. It works like teflon on my stomache so I can drink coffee all day. Real milks taste good, but don't coat. I have looked and looked for a homemade version I can use, but so far, no go.
