Chef's Notes & Storage

Yield: About 2 cups. Serving size: 2 tablespoons. Do not boil the creamer. Excessive heat can give dairy a cooked flavor and cause a skin to form. Storage: Refrigerate up to 7 days. Shake before each use. Keep refrigerated. Discard if odor, texture, or appearance changes unexpectedly. Dairy-free variation: Substitute unsweetened oat milk and a richer oat creamer for the milk and cream.
