Chef’s Secret

For a homemade dairy-free creamer, blend soaked cashews with water, a sweetener, and flavorings until smooth.

Substitutions

Best Match

Milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1:1

Most common substitute, adds creaminess and cuts bitterness.

Half-and-Half

1:1

Richer and thicker than milk, good for a more luxurious texture.

Heavy Cream (diluted)

1:2 with water/milk

For a very rich, thick creamer, dilute to desired consistency.

Sweetened Condensed Milk

1:2 (use less)

Very sweet and thick, ideal for iced coffee or dessert drinks; adjust sweetness.
