Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Creamer
Make homemade pumpkin spice coffee creamer in less than 15 minutes! It has incredible flavor thanks to real pumpkin puree.
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk*
- 2 heaping Tablespoons (about 35g) pumpkin puree
- 2 Tablespoons (30ml) pure maple syrup (or more, if you prefer sweeter creamer)
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons store-bought or homemade pumpkin pie spice*
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Add cinnamon sticks and increase the heat to medium-high.
- Bring to a boil, whisking occasionally, for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and let the creamer cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- If the creamer looks separated, pour it through a fine-mesh sieve.
- You can use the creamer in your coffee right away. It’s not overly sweet, so feel free to add sugar if desired.
- For an extra treat, top your coffee with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
- Store leftover creamer, without cinnamon sticks, in a tightly-sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.
Helpful Tips
Dairy-Free Creamer: Try using coconut, cashew, oat, or almond milk. Note that the creamer won t be as thick.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: I recommend using 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of spice for a strong flavor. Feel free to adjust according to your taste. You can buy pumpkin pie spice from the store or make your own at home.
If you don t have pumpkin pie spice, use 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
