What Is Chobani Chocolate Covered Strawberry Creamer?

Chobani Chocolate Covered Strawberry Creamer is a flavored coffee creamer that blends the taste of ripe strawberries with creamy chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream (or substitute half-and-half for a lighter texture)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup (for a richer chocolate flavor)
• ½ cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup or granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Prepare The Strawberry Base:

1. Puree the chopped strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
2. Optional: Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother creamer.

Combine Cream And Milk:

1. In a medium saucepan, add the heavy cream and whole milk.
2. Warm over low heat until steaming, but don’t let it boil.

Incorporate Chocolate Elements:

1. Whisk in the cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, and maple syrup (or sugar) until thoroughly blended.
2. Keep stirring to ensure the cocoa dissolves well.

Add Strawberry Puree:

1. Continue heating on low, stirring frequently. The mixture should be hot but not boiling.
2. Pour the strawberry puree into the saucepan and mix thoroughly.

1. Finish with Vanilla and Salt: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt.

Cool And Store:

1. Let the mixture cool for 15-20 minutes.
2. Transfer to a clean, airtight jar or bottle and refrigerate. Shake well before each use.

Tips For The Best Chobani Chocolate Covered Strawberry Creamer:

• Use ripe strawberries: For the most whole strawberry flavor. You can also use frozen strawberries (thawed before pureeing).
• Adjust sweetness: By tasting before refrigerating. Add more syrup or sugar if you prefer a sweeter creamer.
• Vegan option: Substitute coconut cream and almond milk for the dairy ingredients.
• Texture: For a creamier consistency, use all cream instead of part milk.
• Straining: Straining the creamer after cooking will remove any bits for a super-smooth texture.
• Storage: Homemade creamer lasts up to one week in the fridge. Shake before use, as separation is normal.
