Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store coffee mate Italian sweet cream?

If you’ve wondered how long does the Italian sweet cream last in the fridge? I got the answer for you! This creamer can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about one week. Shake well before using to ensure that the ingredients are well combined and you get the right amount of flavor of everything in your drink.

Can I make a larger batch of the Italian sweet cream recipe and freeze it for later use?

I do not recommend freezing your creamer because it can cause it to separate and become grainy. Some people have had some success in freezing their homemade creamer in small ice cube trays and using those as ice cubes in their ice coffee though. So if you do try to freeze your creamer please let us know how it worked out.

Can I use a non-dairy milk substitute in this recipe, such as almond milk or soy milk?

You can definitely use non-dairy milk substitutes such as almond milk, soy milk, or even oat milk in this Italian sweet cream creamer. Non-dairy milks can work well in homemade creamers and can add a unique flavor to the creamer. Keep in mind that non-dairy milks may have a thinner consistency than dairy milk, so you may need to adjust the amount of milk or cream in the recipe to get the desired texture. For the sweetened condensed milk, use the coconut version instead to keep this dairy free.
