Hi everyone! I see lots of recipes that mention using coffee creamers of varying flavors, sometimes in the icing and sometimes in the cake batter. What I was wondering was is the coffee creamer used usually a liquid or a powder? Once in a while I'll see a recipe where it will say one or the other, but usually I just see "coffee creamer" as an ingredient. Also, if the recipe DOES mean powder, should it be mixed with water to constitute it first?
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. I think coffee creamers might be able to add a really nice flavor dimension to a lot of recipes, but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. So.....liquid or powder? What do you usually use? Thanks for any help anyone can give!
Whenever I use the flavored creamer in my recipes I use the liquid. The powder makes my husband and I sick to our stomachs. Not sure why. I've never had any problems with the liquid and my recipes always come out great. Good luck.

That's so interesting! Powdered coffee creamer makes me very nauseated, but the liquid creamers don't. I'm glad to hear I am not alone (although I am sorry we can't stomach the powdered creamers ).
I always use the liquid. If it called for powdered I think they expect to be added straight to the mix, no reconstituted.
I often use a buttermilk powder that you add straight in without making it a liquid first.
I substitute about 1/2 the water a box mix calles for with liquid coffee creamer. Sometimes, when I want the flavor a bit stronger than usual, I will through in about a tablesppon of the powdered version (in addition to the liquid version).
Thank you so much for these responses! It really helps a lot! There seems to be more and yummier flavors of the liquid coffee creamer out there, so that's what I'll try. I've never used it in my coffee, so I really don't know anything about it. I still won't because it's so sweet, but it'll be perfect for baked goods. I read something in another thread where someone said something about Italian Sweet Cream Coffeemate flavor, so I just got back from WalMart with some. Wow! It's delicious! I can't wait to dream up something to put it in!
