    Probably not, but you can substitute milk if you’re looking for a lower-fat substitution.

    I did …. I made a butter pecan pound cake, and instead of using 1 cup of cream, I used 1 cup of the flavored liquid creamer (Praline’s and cream). Delish!!!!!

    In baking if you substitute anything you compromise the results . Why do that?? If you want to bake with coffee creamer find a recipe that calls for coffee creamer.Coffee creamer is a mixture of chemicals and additives , It is not cream or even Dairy in many cases.

    It depends on the recipe- in a pinch, I have used the flavored vanilla creamer in muffins that called for milk with great results- and pancakes, too!

    If you are going to do this then you are really wasting your time–teh flavor, richness, mouth feel, and quality of your dish will not even be close. You may use half and half.
    It would help if you would tell us exactly what you are making.

    Coffee creamer will not substitute for cream or heavy cream. In some recipes, for example for a quiche or a cheese sauce, try substituting evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk) for cream. Evaporated milk has a distinctive flavor and will not work in recipes where the flavors are delicate. Also, it will not whip like heavy cream.

    Do you mean the powdered stuff? No. You can substitute milk if you want.

    It depends on the recipe. If the fat in the cream is important such as in a cake then no you can’t. If you must have the cream whipped then again the answer is no. But for mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and even unwhipped cake frostings-yes. Also when making fudge use creamer or half and half instead of milk and no stirring required, hence, your fudge will not be grainy.
