When adding to hot beverages like coffee or tea, it's best to temper the creamer by stirring in a small amount of the hot liquid first before adding the rest. This helps prevent curdling. In cooking, it can be incorporated into sauces, soups, and gravies to create a smoother, richer consistency. For baking, it can be used in custards, puddings, and batters to improve moisture and tenderness. It can also be whipped lightly for a delicate topping.
