Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Dairy Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk gently to blend the ingredients smoothly and evenly without any lumps.
- Warm the Mixture: Heat the mixture gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture boil as this can affect the texture and flavor.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the creamer base with a lovely vanilla flavor.
- Cool the Creamer: Allow the creamer to cool slightly at room temperature before transferring it to a clean jar or airtight container for storage.
- Refrigerate and Use: Refrigerate the creamer for at least 2 hours to chill and thicken. Shake well before each use to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
Notes
- This base creamer is neutral and versatile; you can customize it by adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, caramel syrup, or your choice of extracts to create different flavor profiles.
- Store the creamer in the refrigerator and use within 7 days for optimal freshness and quality.
