Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk - whole, low fat, or dairy free
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk - 4 tbsp
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk or mini frother
  • Measuring jug, cups and spoons
  • Glass bottle or jar with lid
  • Funnel

Method
 

  1. Add the heavy cream, milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sweetened condensed milk to a small saucepan.
  2. Whisk thoroughly before heating to fully dissolve the cocoa powder and prevent lumps.
  3. Place the saucepan over low to medium heat.
  4. Heat gently while whisking often until the mixture is smooth and steaming, but not boiling.
  5. Continue stirring until the cocoa and sweetener are completely dissolved and the mixture looks glossy.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  7. Stir in the vanilla extract while the mixture is still hot.
  8. Allow the creamer to cool slightly in the pan so it thickens just a bit.
  9. Pour into a clean glass bottle or jar using a funnel.
  10. Refrigerate until fully cooled. Shake gently before each use.

Notes

  • Unsweetened cocoa gives a deep, intense flavor
  • Heating is essential for smooth texture
  • The creamer thickens slightly as it chills
 

Storage

  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days
  • Keep sealed tightly
  • Do not freeze
  • Shake gently before each use
