Over the last month I have worked diligently to stick to my
New Year’s Frugal Kitchen Goal. I have done a good job of creating a weekly
meal plan which has helped me to reduce unscheduled trips to the grocery store
and has kept food waste to a minimum. And, as a side benefit, my refrigerator
has never looked so clean. I have also made progress on getting my grocery
budget back on track and stocking up my pantry, but I still have a ways to go.
A couple of weeks ago, when I was out of Half N Half for my
coffee, I decided not to make an unplanned trip to the grocery store and make
some flavored creamer at home. At Christmas time I had told you about the
Homemade Peppermint Mocha Creamer that I made and I liked it so much that I
tried a new version, Amaretto. This was even simpler to make and I have been so
pleased with it that I have made up a second batch. I love how being frugal
gets my creative juices flowing!
Amaretto Creamer
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 ¾ cup milk
2 tsp. almond extract
Pour sweetened condensed milk into a quart sized mason jar.
Add milk and almond extract. Cover jar, and shake to combine. Store in the
refrigerator and shake before serving with coffee.
Anxious to give this a try. Have been looking for an amaretto creamer recipe for quite a while. This is hubby's favorite .
ReplyDeleteMaking some right now and I'll let y'all know something as soon as it's done as its my favorite creamer as well and can't find it anywhere
ReplyDeleteWell we put another tsp. In as it just wasn't quite there but it's pretty close my wife and I thought maybe do the 2 tsp of almond and maybe 1 of cherry...but this is pretty tasty thanks :)
Deletedo they make Cherry extract?
DeleteYES, they do make cherry extract. It can sometimes be hard to find. I found the Watkins brand carries cherry extract.
ReplyDeleteI called Coffee Mate and they have stopped selling Amaretto flavored coffee creamer. The dairy managers at two stores I shop both told me it was their best selling flavor. I will try this recipe, sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI have also requested Amaretto creamer at several stores....the managers say it depends on what the central "command" orders for the stores. It is our favorite too, very frustrating not to be able to get it. I'll try this recipe or add some amaretto flavoring to plain creamer.
