Ingredients
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Dairy Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or your choice)
Flavorings
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: In a medium bowl, wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into small pieces to ensure they blend nicely into the creamer.
- Mix Cream Base: In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk; stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and mix well to infuse the creamer with a rich, warm flavor.
- Fold Strawberries: Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the cream mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking down too much.
- Chill: Transfer the creamer to an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the creamer to thicken before using it in your coffee.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor impact.
- You can substitute sweetened condensed milk with a sugar and milk mixture if desired, but sweetness and texture will vary.
- Store the creamer in the refrigerator and use within one week for optimal freshness.
- Shake or stir the creamer before each use to redistribute the strawberries and cream.
- Suitable for mixing in hot or cold coffee and tea.
