non-dairy creamer?
K. So I am currently drinking Coffeemate...which is yum, but scary if you look at the ingredients
I find lots of homemade creamer recipes calling for heavy cream and whatnot (YUM)...but I'm dairy free for baby. Trying to figure a substitute. The heavy cream makes it thick...using just almond/soy milk isn't going to be as thick as a heavy cream would. Is there a non-dairy version of heavy cream? |

Re: non-dairy creamer?
I'm not sure about a non-dairy heavy cream sub, but I dislike ALL milk subs. But i LOVE LOVE LOVE the So Delicious coconut milk creamer! They even have a french vanilla option if you're so inclined. It is thick, delicious and not very expensive

Re: non-dairy creamer?
I had no idea they made a coconut milk creamer!
This morning I had some horchata in my coffee. Not bad.

Re: non-dairy creamer?
First of all, Coffeemate is not non-dairy. It has casein in it. Is your baby OK with it? If so, you might not have to avoid the heavy cream anyway.
Wouldn't that be nice? I use Silk creamer, and Coffee Rich, both of which have scary ingredients, but they are truly dairy free. For the little amount I use, I am not worried about the soy and the trans fats.

Re: non-dairy creamer?
If you look in the ethnic foods section, you should be able to find canned coconut milk. You'll need to shake it before you open it because it separates. It is really rich and thick so a little will do you and is it good. I like it better than half and half.

Re: non-dairy creamer?
I find regular canned coconut milk makes my coffee....greasy?
Do you have a Kroger where you are? That's where I find all my So Delicious products I'm sure they have them at Whole Foods, too! My mom gets the ice cream there, so I know they carry the product lne.

Re: non-dairy creamer?
yep. it's not dairy-free. Look carefully at labels! Casein is hiding in tons-o-stuff.
I haven't found anything I like as well as creamer so I've given up most of my coffee. Occasionally, I'll drink it with cream anyway, but I try not to do that often. I can't find the So Delicious Coconut Creamer. I'm not big on the coconut milk but love the coconut ice cream so I'd like to try the creamer to see.

Re: non-dairy creamer?
it's definitely worth the $2 to try it. I almost didn't because I'd rather not drink coffee than drink it without half and half, but it's a seriously good substitute (not watery). You should be able to find it in the natural foods section at Kroger

Re: non-dairy creamer?
I just got the coconut So Delicious creamer yesterday. Had my first cup of coffee with it today. It's pretty good! I got the Hazelnut flavor and it's OK, but it has a bit of an unnatural sweetener taste to it.
I think next time I will just get the plain version. Or, I might just try regular coconut milk. |
