HazelCream, Dairy Free

It is broadly estimated that 30 and 50 million Americans experience symptoms of lactose malabsorption, a reduced ability to digest lactose. Thankfully, we have exceptional dairy-free alternatives like Cheri's.

Cheri’s HazelCream is an incredibly versatile dairy-free milk alternative that comes as a prepared nut butter portioned in small cups. By adding differing amounts of water to the nut butter, you can make either milk, cream, buttermilk, half & half, or condensed milk. It is shelf-stable and takes just one minute to mix in the blender. Made with Oregon hazelnuts, this dairy-free milk can successfully make foods that other alternative milks cannot, including pudding, breads, white gravy, alfredo sauce and soups.

It also works well in coffee, tea, cookies and cakes. Since its base is a nut butter and not a powder, like many alternative milk products, some customers who appreciate the creamy milk also spread a little on some toast from time to time.

About Cheri's HazelCream:

Cheri, founder of Cheri’s HazelCream, was once a lover of all things dairy: milk, cheese, ice cream and the like. Then, one day, just like that – poof – food allergies took all of that away. Learning to cook again was difficult because none of the alternative milks worked for her favorite dishes. Those milks made her bread come out like rocks and her gravy grossly watery. Puddings and soup came out completely wrong. The only thing she could stomach those milks in at all was coffee, and that still wasn’t great. Maybe she could have done without all of those foods, but there was one dish that was not an option for Cheri to live without – biscuits and gravy. Thus, she set out to make her own dairy-free milk that would make excellent gravy. Two and a half years later, Cheri’s HazelCream was born! It didn’t hurt that she is married to an engineer, Chris, who helped her every step of the way. A chef friend, Eileen, suggested that hazelnuts could be the answer, and they were! Her HazelCream went through much experimentation and many trials, but they knew it was perfected when it passed the pudding test and the gravy test. But they didn’t just create a great new dairy-free milk, they invented something even better – a one-stop-shop kind of milk alternative that can be made into milk when you need milk, cream when you need cream, and half & half when you need half & half. You can even make buttermilk and condensed milk with it! Plus, it’s all made without any gums, carrageenan, soy, or GMOs. Got to love the innovative genius of Cheri and Chris!
