Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Creamer Recipe

Introduction

This homemade pumpkin coffee creamer adds a cozy, seasonal twist to your morning cup. It’s creamy and lightly spiced, perfect for bringing the flavors of fall into your daily routine.

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 for a sweeter creamer)
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons store-bought or homemade pumpkin pie spice*
• 2 cinnamon sticks

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Add the cinnamon sticks and increase the heat to medium-high.
2. Step 2: Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let the creamer cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
3. Step 3: If the creamer looks separated, pour it through a fine-mesh sieve to strain out any solids or cinnamon sticks.
4. Step 4: Use the creamer in your coffee immediately. Remember it has a mild sweetness, so adjust your coffee’s sweetness if you prefer.
5. Step 5: Store any leftover creamer in a tightly sealed jar without the cinnamon sticks, refrigerate, and shake well before each use.

Tips & Variations

• Use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for extra warmth in the spice blend.
• For a vegan option, substitute coconut milk or oat milk and use maple syrup as the sweetener.
• Adjust the maple syrup to suit your preferred level of sweetness.

Storage

Store the creamer in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use, as the ingredients may settle or separate slightly. Reheat gently if desired, but it’s perfectly fine to add cold or room temperature creamer to hot coffee.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Will the cinnamon sticks make the creamer too strong?

No, the cinnamon sticks add a subtle, warm flavor without overpowering the creamer. Just remember to remove them before storing or serving.

• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
• Store the creamer without cinnamon sticks to prevent overpowering flavor during storage.
• Shake the creamer well before each use to re-emulsify any separation.
