Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Cream Base
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or your choice)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into small pieces to release their sweet flavor evenly throughout the creamer.
- Mix the Cream Base: In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well blended for a rich and creamy texture.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the pure vanilla extract thoroughly to infuse the creamer with a warm, aromatic note that complements the strawberries.
- Incorporate Strawberries: Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the cream mixture to ensure they are evenly distributed without mashing them, preserving their fresh texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully, chilled and ready for your coffee.

- Shake or stir the creamer well before each use to redistribute the strawberries and cream.
