Sugar-Free Italian Sweet Cream Creamer Recipe
Equipment
- Whisk
- stovetop
- small pan
- large glass container with lid
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 2 Cups of Sugar Free Almond Milk Almond milk gives an extra hint of almond flavoring however, make sure to find one that is sugar free. Not all milks are sugar free!
- 1 tsp of Almond Extract
- 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract
- 14 oz of sugar free condensed milk It is not easy to find a sugar free condensed milk however, you can also make your own! This naturally sweet heavy cream mixture is delicious and also a big part of the recipe! You can't have Italian sweet cream without some type of heavy condensed milk.
Instructions
- The first step in this sugar-free Italian sweet cream creamer recipe is to simmer the milk and sugar-free condensed milk in a medium saucepan. This pot should be big enough so that the creamer does not spill over when it foams.
- As you stir these ingredients together, during step 2, wait for the milk to steam. Make sure to stop it from boiling, as this can cause the mixture to burn and foam over. Let it sit on low for about five minutes once you see steam rising from the pot.
- For the third step, add the two extracts together into the same lightly simmering pot. Mix well so that the flavors blend with the milks. In this step, the creamer should be light. It thickens as the temperature cools down.
- After another 5-10 minutes simmering on low, turn off your burner. Then, cool the creamer inside the refrigerator. Find a container though that can withstand the change in temperature. Serve with coffee and tea. When you store, make sure to find a container with a tight lid.
Notes
- There are not a lot of tips or tricks I can give you for this sugar free Italian sweet cream creamer recipe. Instead though, I can let you know ways to store this delicious cream! Since it is a heavy milk product, you cannot leave it outside of the refrigerator!
- If you are looking for interesting ways to store this creamer, why not freeze them? Think about it! If you freeze the creamer into small blocks of ice, like an ice cube tray, you can drop these cubes into hot coffee and stir. Over time because of the change in temperature, the creamer should mix well with the coffee or tea.
- Although you can make a sweet cream creamer without actually using the stovetop, it is not recommended. The blender can only blend so much, leaving sugar residue.
