Irish Coffee Creamer

Irish Coffee Creamer









Irish Coffee Creamer

Ingredients:

16 oz. Half-and-Half

1 1/2 cups milk

1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon espresso powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract


Directions:

Place cocoa powder and espresso powder in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, add milk and half-and-half. Heat to steaming.

Add condensed milk to milk mixture. Stir to combine.

Heat mixture to steaming, but NOT boiling.

When the mixture is hot, remove from heat.

Add vanilla extract and almond extract and stir to combine.

Pour hot mixture into the mixing bowl with cocoa powder. Whisk to combine.

Transfer to a container with lid. Store in the refrigerator, and shake before using.


Notes:

I like a little creamer in my coffee. Bailey's Irish Cream Coffee Creamer was my all-time favorite. Then they stopped making it. Bastards.

It seems like every other creamer in the stores is made of palm oil and corn syrup. That disgusts me. I have tried to eliminate corn syrup completely from my diet. That stuff is poison.

If you're worried about the fat content, learn how to feel better about yourself. You're perfect already. You could sub out skim milk and fat-free condensed milk though. That will help. There is no fat-free half and half.

If you're lactose intolerant, why are you even reading this recipe?

Mix in a half-cup of Jameson Irish Whisky and you've got a homemade version of Bailey's.

The only cocoa powder in the world is Guittard Red Dutch-Process Cocoa Powder.

Well, it should be.
