Soy Coffee Creamer

This recipe got us through the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy when, even if we could drive to stores, they were closed. MUST HAVE COFFEE!

Makes about 1 1/2 cup

  • 1 1/8 cup plain soy milk
  • 1/4 cup light vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, or agave nectar, or 1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste
  • Optional flavoring: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • Optional thickener: 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Optional: For very thick creamer, whisk cornstarch into the 1 cup of soy milk; bring to a boil, and simmer until thickened. Cool, then proceed with recipe.

Place 1/8 cup soy milk in the blender. Blend a few seconds. Remove lid and add half the oil. Blend on high speed until mixed. With the blender running, carefully remove the lid and slowly stream in the remaining oil. Reduce blender speed to medium, and slowly stream in the syrup/sugar, and vanilla and cinnamon or almond if using. Increase blender speed to medium-high. Remove the lid and slowly drip the remaining 1 cup of soy milk (plain, or thickened with cornstarch) into the blender. Store refrigerated in a tightly sealed container such as a leftover agave bottle. Keeps for 2 weeks. Shake vigorously if it settles or separates.
