Homemade Vanilla Coffee Creamer

August 8, 2015 Sharon 1 Comment

When we moved to Australia, from the US, I had no idea that I’d not be able to get my favorite French Vanilla Coffee Creamer that I loved and used daily in the US. Thank God for Pinterest and the recipe that I modified a bit to suit my taste. Now I think I can survive here with this delicious homemade coffee creamer that makes me feel right at home.

All you need to make this coffee creamer recipe is:

1 Liter of whole milk
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
4 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Pour everything into a bowl and whisk it up. Transfer to a jar with a lid or a bottle like mine if you can find one. I got this at a kitchen wares store.

Bear in mind that since you are using fresh milk, this will eventually expire. Take note of your milk’s expiration date and use up your creamer by that date.

You could try other flavored extracts to switch it up. I plan to try coconut and almond soon. 🙂

Homemade Baked Corn Tortilla Chips

You can make your own healthier baked corn tortilla chips in just 5 minutes. No joke. Super easy, huh?

Just take corn tortillas and cut into fourths. I use a pizza cutter.

Lay them out on a broiler pan. Bake at 400º F for 3 minutes, flip and bake another 3 minutes. Watch carefully because these will burn really quickly. My first batch was a bit over done because I was snapchatting with my daughter and lost track of time. :-/

You can season with salt, Adobo seasoning, or your favorite seasoned salt.

1 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed

2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon salt

Pulse in food processor until well combined, or you could mix by hand.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

**To Make Ranch Dressing: Combine 1 Tbsp. seasoning mix with 1/3 cup mayo and 1/3 cup milk, and whisk to combine. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for the mayo.
