Making your own coffee cream is really easy. Not only is it simple to do, but it is a lot healthier than the kind you buy in the store. Making your own assures you that there are no chemical preservatives or additives that are unhealthy for you and your family.
Plain coffee cream has only three ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup of cream (heavy or light, your choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
You can add 1/3 cup sugar, if you feel that something is missing. (some do, but I don't)
In the fall and winter I really love flavored cream in my coffee. Being the experimenter that I am, I have made lots of different flavors of cream, some more successful than
others. I would like to share three of my favorite flavorings with you.

Autumn Spice
2 cups of plain coffee cream
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons brown sugar
pinch of cloves (optional)
This is how I like it, you may need to adjust it to your taste. My husband has to substitute the Stevia for the brown sugar, since he is diabetic.

Cinnamon Swirl

Chocolate Caramel Heaven
2 cups of plain coffee cream
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
This coffee cream is absolutely delicious, but if you want a little extra lusciousness, add one teaspoon of almond extract. This gives a nutty flair to your already decadent cuppa!

If You Prefer Powdered Cream
Not everyone likes liquid cream, some prefer powder. My Dad didn't like it because he said it made his coffee cold. My girlfriend only drinks coffee on the weekends, and she says it spoils before she can drink it. Whatever the reason, I wanted to include my recipe for homemade powdered coffee cream.
| My Recipe for Powdered Coffee Cream Most homemade powdered coffee cream recipes are made of dry milk, powdered sugar and coconut oil. I tried that and I did not like the consistency or the taste. After much experimenting, I came up with this recipe. It's a bit unusual, but I love the taste. It can also be flavored like the liquid creamer with the same ingredients. |  |
Ingredients:
1 cup organic instant dry milk
1/2 cup sugar (I use fine ground coconut palm, but any kind will work)
1/3 cup store bought instant sugar free vanilla pudding mix (can use any flavor)
The pudding gives it a creaminess that other recipes lack. I actually think that it is better than creamer you buy at the store.
