I was searching up something to do with browned butter as part of Bulletproof Coffee, and I came across this:

I mean. BROWNED CREAM!! WHAT!?
If you’ve ever had brown butter, you understand why this is a huge deal. If not, I’mma take you to school today!
What is brown butter?
Beurre Noisette, that’s the French name for brown butter, literally translates to hazelnut butter. This name is apt, because the process of cooking unsalted butter over low heat until the milk solids brown and any water present evaporates makes the butter take on a scent and colour reminiscent of hazelnuts.
Why? It’s simple – keeping all the good qualities of butter, but adding a slightly sweeter, nutty, toasty flavour adds depth of flavour and richness to our recipes.
What does brown butter have to do with cream?
With this recipe for Instant Pot Coffee Creamer, A LOT! The same reactions that happen in butter to create the hazelnutty deliciousness also happen in cream.
Is brown cream life changing?
YES! If you’re adventurous in the kitchen, you’ll wanna try this just on principle.

Instant Pot Coffee Creamer Tips & Tricks
I tested this recipe with both heavy whipping cream and also 18% table cream. I much preferred the 18% cream. (The caveat to that is that I always use 18% cream in my coffee. I find it’s got the best mouthfeel and consistency).
ADD a little maple syrup and vanilla bean if you’re feeling extra adventurous – the flavours really pair well together.
STRAIN it. I had to strain the HWC, but I simply skimmed the top off of the 18%.
LEAVE enough headroom. Just like in canning, you want to leave enough headspace in the jar to prevent broken jars.
DON’T over-tighten the lid – I threaded the lid on just enough that the ring was secure, and the lid could float up and down to allow steam to escape! This will also prevent broken jars!
USE canning jars with lids and rings! DO not attempt this without proper jars!

How long will this last in the refrigerator?
In theory it will last till your cream’s expiry date. I did develop the recipe in a smaller scale to avoid anyone having their cream go bad! We drink ours fast enough that I’ve never had a bad experience ♥️
When you say to strain the HWC, do you mean before or after cooking??
After 🙂
Any idea if this would work with coconut cream? My household is dairy free. I love the idea of making my own coffee creamer. Thank you.
I really can’t see why it wouldn’t work! I would try a half batch just to see if it works! If you try it, let me know I’d love to know if it works!
@Ally, thanks I’ll report back 🙂
What is the purpose of the baking soda?
Baking soda helps with the Maillard effect (browning and caramelization)!
