Not that I have a machine to make it, but if I bought one, what brand of soy creamer do I look for? Do I buy it in a health food store? "In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis.

However, there is also soy cream which is much richer and used for cream sauces and possibly ice cream making. Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

Oh, my friend who make home-made vegan ice cream referred to it as 'creamer'. Thanks for clarifying the distinction Susan. "In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis.

I like it better than Silk creamer because it is not as sweet. Although, if creamer is what you use in ice cream, I suppose the fact that it is sweet won't make a difference.

Posted Friday, September 17, 2010 at 9:34 PM Silk makes a soy creamer for coffee,etc, that comes in flavors like vanilla, hazelnut, and plain. Depending on which flavor you get alters the sweetness. I used the plain which was not sweet. There is also a very similar product out now, only based with coconut milk in the same flavors (not coconut-flavored). Again, I use the plain, as I do not care for sweetened coffee. There are also recipes out there that call for these, usually the plain, where a little more body is needed over just a plain non-dairy milk.
