I add melted vanilla ice cream to my coffee.  'What I do is' simply keep the vanilla ice cream in the refrigerator, in a small glass pitcher, so it's cold like cream or milk, yet melted.  You can use a mason jar, or anything that is glass, to preserve the flavor, etc. .......... WAIT!!  I forgot to mention adding a dollup of peanut butter in each cup, too! ( I was out of PB for a week, and re-stocked yesterday.)  It sure makes coffee smooth and silky.

Ladies, for you true connoisseurs of the dark roasts and like just a drop or two of cream, which cream do you like the best? I've tried so many and most are just okay. I'd like to hear your recs!

Oh yum!!! I love my cream and sugar with a bit of coffee! Seriously, I have never been someone who has a cup every day, but do enjoy a cup with a cookie on a lazy morning. Coffee smells so good brewing!

@asoutherngirl Oh, your post brought back memories. Cafe du Monde (CDM) was the coffee my family drank when I was growing up. There was always a canister of CDM with chicory in the kitchen, and we kids drank ours as cafe au lait - half milk, half coffee.  Now  I have to limit my caffeine due to high blood pressure  and decaf just isn't the same!  From one Louisiana girl to another, thanks for the memories.

Good ol' Maxwell House for me!

I love my coffee, medium roast and I also take cream with 1 spoon of sugar. I drink a 2 serving cup in the morning and if it's cold or I have fresh baked goods, I'll have another cup in the evening.

It's all so much individual taste.  I can't do the flavored *liquid* creamers. Every time I try another, no matter what brand, they have a very chemical, unnatural taste to me - even the "natural" ones.  My choice is Coffeemate French Vanilla powder. Yeh, I know - chemicals, chemicals - but to my taste buds this is good and the same product in refrigerated liquid = ugh.

I'm so used to drinking vanilla-flavored coffee that using plain cream or milk is just blah for me. I'd actually rather have black.  And I probably need to add that I drink strong-flavored dark roasts that stand up to adding the vanilla creamer.

I like the flavor but it doesn't agree with me, so I rarely drink it. Last time I did, I paid dearly.

I'm the one who adds a dollop of peanut butter (along with the melted vanilla ice cream) to each cup of coffee.  Sure makes it smooth and silky.  Give it a try!
