Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
Description
This Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer uses a base of half and half combined with pumpkin puree and sweetened with maple syrup. Pumpkin spice and cinnamon add characteristic warm autumn flavors. The mixture is heated gently to steam without boiling, allowing the flavors to meld while avoiding scorching. After cooling, straining through a nut milk bag or fine sieve removes pumpkin solids for a smooth texture.
Once strained and bottled, the creamer delivers a lightly thick, flavorful liquid that enriches coffee with creamy pumpkin spice notes. The pinch of salt brightens flavors subtly. The use of maple syrup adds sweetness with depth compared to refined sugar.
The creamer can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week, shaken before use. It offers a homemade alternative to commercial flavored creamers, letting you control sweetness and spice intensity to suit preference.
Ingredients
- 2 cups half and half see notes for substitutes
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree canned
- 1/2 cup maple syrup more if you like it sweeter (see notes for substitutes)
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch salt optional, but recommended
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a saucepan. Whisk to combine.
- Heat gently (on low or mid-low heat), until the milk starts to steam (do not let it simmer), while stirring regularly to prevent the milk from scorching.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the spices infuse into the milk, for at least 15 - 20 minutes, or until it's cooled down.
- Strain the pumpkin spice coffee creamer through a nut milk bag or a fine sieve. If you're using a nut milk bag (this is what I used here), you may need to squeeze the bag gently to help push the creamer through. I used tongs to squeeze the nut milk bag. Discard the leftover solids in the nut milk bag/sieve.
- Pour the strained pumpkin spice coffee creamer into bottles and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Substitute half and half with 1 cup whipping cream plus 1 cup milk or use 2 cups coconut milk (not fat free) for a vegan option.
- Replace maple syrup with 1/2 cup honey or 3/4 cup brown sugar to adjust sweetness and flavor.
