Suggestions and additions
Almond, hazelnut, or peppermint extract can be used instead of vanilla extract.
You could also match the non-dairy coffee creamer flavor to the extract flavor for a double layer of flavor. For instance, make homemade peppermint mochas with peppermint non-dairy creamer, peppermint extract and crushed peppermint candies or a candy cane on top of the whipped cream.
