Ingredients
Scale
Cream Base
- 1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk
Pumpkin Flavor
- 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
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the heavy cream (or your chosen dairy), pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until well blended.
- Add Cinnamon Sticks and Heat: Add the cinnamon sticks to the mixture, then increase the heat to medium-high.
- Boil Mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally. Let it boil for 1 full minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Cool the Creamer: Remove the pan from heat and let the creamer cool in the pan for 5 minutes to deepen the flavors.
- Strain if Needed: If the creamer appears separated or has any solids, pour it through a fine-mesh sieve to achieve a smooth texture.
- Use or Store: Use the creamer immediately by adding it to your coffee, or store leftover creamer (without the cinnamon sticks) in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
- Optional Serving Suggestions: Add sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter coffee, or top your coffee with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for an extra festive touch.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter option, though the creamer will be less rich.
- 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.
- For homemade pumpkin pie spice, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
