      This is nice and simple to make. We often get our dairy products in bulk from warehouse stores, and I always have some left over!

      That is awesome! I use the coffee creamers in hot chocolate. But also don’t like all the gunk ingredients. Love that I can make my own now!

      This is great. I go through tons of vanilla coffee creamer and the chemicals do bother me. But I’m so addicted to it I can’t go back to regular milk. I just printed out the recipe and am going to give it a try. Thanks

      That is a great recipe to have handy! We prefer our coffee with the flavored creamer, which can get rather pricey. I’m sure this would save us some money!

      All this time I thought how to make vanilla creamer, I made it with only milk & vanilla, it never came out right, but trying it your way came out so very tasty and so much smoother, yummmmm!!

      Are you able to substitute anything for the sweetened condensed milk? I don’t have a way to get any until Friday and I was hoping to surprise my husband with his favorite creamer, only homemade.

        I have only ever made it with the condensed.
