Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk (or plant-based milk like almond or oat)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or brown sugar for richer sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

These ingredients create a smooth, flavorful Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer that’s perfect for fall coffee drinks.

Preparation Instructions

This Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer is quick and easy to make, with straightforward steps to ensure a creamy, well-balanced result. Follow along to elevate your coffee game.

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt until smooth. The pumpkin puree adds authentic flavor and a velvety texture.
  2. Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and warm the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes. Don’t let it boil—just heat until steaming and the ingredients are fully blended. The low heat prevents curdling and ensures a smooth creamer.
  3. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. This adds a warm, sweet note that ties the spices together.
  4. Strain (Optional): For an ultra-smooth creamer, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle to remove any pumpkin pulp or spice grains. If you don’t mind a bit of texture, skip this step.
  5. Cool and Store: Let the creamer cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight jar or bottle. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill before using. Shake well before each use to blend the spices.
  6. Use in Coffee: Add 1-2 tablespoons of Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer to a cup of hot or iced coffee, adjusting to taste. Stir well and enjoy the fall flavors!

Total time: About 15 minutes (plus chilling). This creamer is best used chilled but can be warmed gently for hot coffee drinks.

FAQ

Can I use fresh pumpkin puree?


Yes, but ensure it’s well-cooked and pureed smooth. Canned pumpkin is more consistent and saves time, but fresh works if drained well.

How long does this creamer last?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Shake well before using, as spices may settle.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely! Use plant-based milk (like oat or almond) and coconut milk instead of heavy cream. Check that your maple syrup is vegan-friendly.

Can I adjust the sweetness?

Yes! Add more or less maple syrup to taste, or swap for honey or sugar. Taste the mixture before cooling to adjust sweetness.

Can I use this in other recipes?

Definitely! Try it in smoothies, pancake batter, or as a base for pumpkin spice lattes for extra fall flavor.
