I haven't yet tried it, but, I will try with some that I just bought and let you know. Good question. If this works, then I will buy more. icon_biggrin.gif

I called nestle coffee mate.. and the answer is no.. they do not recommend that you freeze the product because it is lactose free and will seperate..

According to these threads it can be done, maybe it's just Coffee Mate that won't freeze.

I've got several bottles of International Delight in my freezer, sure hope they're gonna be okay.

I have frozen Lotsa Interantional Delight and we are still consuming it - no problems! Thaw in fridge and shake well before using!

How are you freezing them. I thought that I would freeze them in ice cube trays, so I could just use a tablespoon at a time as I needed them, but they never froze solid enough that I could pop them out of the ice cube tray to store them. I was just hoping to to not have to freeze the whole bottle. Any ideas?

I actually contacted Int'l Delight and they told me that they do not recommend freezing at all.

I freeze the whole bottle 'cause well we are creamer pigs in my house- coffee, tea, cake stuff - we go through it pretty fast and it has a long shelf life so I never worry about it. Heck, the restaurant I work at uses the mini creamers and we NEVER even refrigerate those so I'm not even sure why the big bottles need refrigeration!! Maybe JanH can answer that for us!!

Int'l Delight said the little single containers did not need to be refrigerated because they are packaged in stay-fresh packaging to help them keep their shelf life. I don't know why it doesn't apply to the big bottles, maybe because there is less of the liquid in them.

I have frozen many of the creamers & they have been fine. I use quite a lot of creamers in my cake, I do 1/2 water 1/2 creamer instead of all water or milk.

I freeze the creamer all the time and thaw it out. It works fine.

Sorry to be a broken record...but is everyone just freezing them in the bottle? I'm just wondering how you are using a little at a time, or once you thaw it out you use the whole thing? Sorry, I am just wanting to be able to purchase lots of different flavors and use them a little at a time, is this possible?

I have frozen them then thawed them to use and then refroze them while they were still cold. It works fine after each use.

Re: the question of the difference in the need for refridgerating the large bottle vs. the individual serving containers...I would think 1 reason would be that once you open the large bottle it is more suseptable to spoiling and bacteria where the individual one is just that as you toss the container once opened....same goes for condensed milk is ok in the pantry but needs refridge after opening.

why don't you try dividing it into freezer bags and freezing it that way? i've never done it but i assume it would work.

Just shake it up and put in ice cube trays until frozen, then in Ziplock freezer bags. Thaw the number you need - voila!

I froze mine in 1/2 cup plastic containers. After frozen I took them out of the container and then put ziplock freezer bags. That way you can thaw out what you need. I think the ice cube trays are a great idea!

See I tried exactly this, but the creamer never froze enough for me to pop them out of the ice cube trays....I think I used International Delight, maybe another brand freezes better? I guess I will have to try again!

TIA for any info.
