Get Real. Get La Creme.

By

This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and La Crème.

La Crème is a new creamer designed for all of us coffee addicts. Before you start wondering if La Crème  is anything like Coffee Mate, let me say-uh, not even close. La Crème puts the moo back in coffee creamers. It’s 100% dairy. And can I say yay to that, especially since I am a coffee fiend who also loves flavored coffee.

La Creme

That said, I take my creamer seriously just like I take my coffee seriously. So I put the creamer to a very “scientific” head to head taste test in some plastic cups with my friends. All but one of us preferred La Crème  over Coffee Mate.

Here’s what we judged it on and why La Crème  came out on top:

  • Color: More natural in tone and resembling the shade cream more closely.
  • Texture: Thicker and creamier. It’s two steps lighter in texture than regular whipping cream.
  • Taste: Richer, smoother and without the strong after taste found in Coffee Mate.

Beyond the cuppa, I will be keeping La Crème fully stocked in my fridge for my baking needs. That’s right-this creamer is my new found secret weapon for some baked goods

Case and point, take a look at that breakfast made simple and delicious with just a bit of La Crème re-tooling.

Apple Walnut French Toast_Endless Simmer II

Apple Walnut French Toast in a Cupcake Liner

Most cinnamon French toast recipes call for half and half, milk or a cream of some sort. Well being one that loves to experiment, I switched out my usual half and half for some La Crème . You can of course use any of the flavors they offer like French Vanilla, Regular, and Hazelnut but for this recipe, since I was using an Apple Walnut Bread, I chose Vanilla Cinnamon. And wow, wow, wow, what a difference in flavor and texture.

Next up for the La Crème , I will be trying the Hazelnut flavor for some Chocolate Hazelnut Crème Brulee . . .  stay tuned!

    I would love to try French Vanilla. But all of them sound so good that I would love to try them all.

  37. Cheryl says

    If only a non-dairy creamer is the only option, I will not have coffee. The original flavor would be my first choice and I would also use it for baking.

  46. Kristen says

    I love French Vanilla everything, so i would love to try that one!

    I will be trying the hazelnut for my morning coffee at work. A great way to start the day!!!

  65. linda s says

    I am pathetic. I like a can of diet coke, room temp, with the tap popped the night before so the fizz is gone. Like I said, pathetic

  71. sherrie says

    I have tried the French Vanilla & the Cinnamon Vanilla – both are awesome!!! Can’t wait to try the Hazelnut! =)

  82. Carol Ann says

    As a former dairy farmer and continual dairy supporter, I am thrilled that there is now a good alternative to the non-dairy creamers. I can’t wait to find it in my supermarket.

  99. Ericka T says

    I didn’t think about it before, but the cinnamon vanilla would be delicious on oatmeal.

  102. Susan P says

    Definitely want to try the Cinnamon Vanilla! I love to try new creamers and don’t like the imitation stuff. Can’t wait to find it at the grocery store.

  112. April says

    I’d like to try the Original – mostly because I don’t like flavors in my coffee (though I make an exception for chocolate, I’ll take chocolate in anything).

  113. Debbie C says

    I love a good vanilla taste so I would like to try La Creme French Vanilla flavor.

  119. Pat McG says

    The vanilla is great. I grew up on a dairy so using those fake cream products are against all I know. Thank you for your new real product.

  122. Sarah L says

    I’d like to try the Cinnamon Vanilla in french toast. Sounds yummy. Thanks for the contest.

  126. Claire says

    Hazelnut is one of my favorite flavors of anything and everything so I am really excited to try it!

  130. Shelley Mitchell says

    wow – I don’t know – it would be easier to say which one I DIDN”T want. Original – that’s boring. Hmm – if they were all in front of me, I would probably try the cinnamon vanilla one first because I’ve tried the other kinds and this sounds good.

  175. poolpooli says

    I would like to try the Cinnamon vanilla flavor cause I like Vanilla a lot!
