If you're a coffee drinker, there's a chance you have a bottle of Coffee-Mate in your refrigerator. It is, after all, a wonderful way to add gourmet flavor to a simple cup of joe, but have you thought of all the creative ways you can use this delicious product? Whether you're baking cakes or just trying to create a unique beverage, Coffee-Mate is a simple way to add flavor.

Coffee-Mate makes a wonderful substitute for alcohol. Whenever you see a recipe that calls for Irish Crème liquor, use Irish Crème Coffee-Mate instead. This is a great and easy way to add the flavor of Irish Crème liquor without adding alcohol. This means that when a recipe that doesn't require cooking or baking calls for Irish Crème liquor, you can still prepare that recipe without worrying about serving it to kids.

Another creative way to use Coffee-Mate is to use it to flavor whipped cream. Just think of all the creative flavors you can make. Liquid Coffee-Mate comes in several different flavors. This is especially a great way to make holiday dishes even more special. Try adding Eggnog Coffee-Mate to whipped cream for cakes or pies. You could even use sugar-free Coffee-Mate to make creative dessert toppings for diabetics.

Coffee-Mate can even be used to make creative frosting flavors. Just imagine adding Toffee-Nut Coffee-Mate to vanilla frosting and frosting a chocolate cake. Or try adding Peppermint Mocha Coffee-Mate to chocolate frosting and top a chocolate cake. The possibilities are endless. Just be as creative as possible and try adding different flavors to different store-bought frostings.

You can even get really creative and add Coffee-Mate to cocoa. Imagine a Pralines & Crème Cocoa or Peppermint Mocha Cocoa. There are several different flavors liquid creamer to choose from. Even the plain Vanilla Coffee-Mate would make a delicious cocoa.

Takeaways
  • Easily flavor whipped cream.
  • Make gourmet cocoa.
  • Try a unique milkshake.

Great ideas! Here's another - probably not so unique? I have a 'friend' who adds coffeemate to her Dr. Pepper.

This is one of the most creative pieces you've written and you've certainly made me think of Coffeemate as far more versatile than I realized. Thanks!

Good ideas, Amy. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but every time I visited my aunt she would have coffee and Coffee-Mate ready (she passed last spring (2007)). I can remember in my younger days when the only Coffee-Mate they had was the powdered stuff. I used to use that all the time until I cut down on drinking coffee. Anyway, maybe I'll buy some liquid Coffee-Mate just to try some of your ideas.
