Organic LOW FAT/LOW CALORIE COFFEE CREAM...MANY FLAVORS!

**THIS MAKES ABOUT 1 1/2 CUPS OF COFFEE CREAM. 

This was SO fun to make! A couple of things before you start:

1.  THE MOST WORK GOES INTO MAKING YOUR "CREAM" (Homemade Naturally-Sweetened Condensed Milk). For my recipe, click HERE.

2.  Once you have your "cream", the possibilities for different flavors are endless.

HERE'S THE MAIN IDEA:

"CREAM" + 1/2  MILK = SWEETENED CREAM. (unflavored)

"CREAM" + 1/2 CUP MILK + (recipe below) = YOUR FAVORITE COFFEE CREAM FLAVOR!

DIRECTIONS:

1.  Make 'CREAM'.  (recipe link is HERE)

2.  Once cream is cooled just a bit (can still be warm), ADD 1/2 CUP MILK OF YOUR CHOICE.  This could be Heavy Whipping Cream (for a smoother consistency but higher in fat), Skim Milk, Whole Milk, Almond Milk, etc.  I use UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK since it has just 40 CALORIES PER CUP!

3.  You just made COFFEE CREAM.  Once you add it to your coffee, if your coffee is still too strong just add another splash of milk. 

4.  FOR FLAVORED COFFEE CREAM:  While cream IS STILL WARM, add 1/2 cup of whatever kind of milk and WHISK IN FLAVOR.  (recipes/ideas below, but possibilities are endless!)  Make sure you whisk really good to combine and then store in refrigerator.  It will thicken just a bit once cooled.


PEPPERMINT MOCHA:  
1 1/2 TBSP OF COCOA POWDER 
1/2 tsp of PEPPERMINT EXTRACT.  Make sure you whisk really good to combine and then store in refrigerator.  It will thicken just a bit once cooled.

 PUMPKIN SPICE:

1 1/2 TBSP of Pumpkin Puree
1/2 tsp of Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

CINNAMON STRUDEL

3/4 tsp of ground cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 tsp of almond extract
