Ingredients
These five simple ingredients are all that you need to make the most delicious pumpkin spice coffee creamer:
- half and half
- maple syrup, or brown sugar
- pumpkin purée
- vanilla extract
- pumpkin pie spice
about pumpkin purée
Pumpkin pie filling is not a good substitute for pumpkin purée. It’s usually already sweetened and has added spices and flavorings. Make sure you grab 100% pure pumpkin purée.
Substitutions & variations
Dairy-free creamer: To make this dairy free, you can use a dairy free milk alternative. Coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk and other dairy free options will all work.
Substitute for half-and-half: Whole milk is a good sub for half and half if you don’t have it on hand. You can also use heavy cream, your creamer will just be a bit heavier and thicker.
Pumpkin spice substitute: Don’t have pumpkin spice on hand? You can make your own with ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, allspice and ground ginger.
Sweeteners: Both maple syrup and brown sugar are perfect for pumpkin spice creamer. They add a rich flavor! However, you can make this with agave nectar, simple syrup or honey if you prefer.
Instructions
Ready to ditch the store-bought creamer? Then follow these instructions on how to make pumpkin spice creamer:
In a small saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and whisk to incorporate them together.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly.
When all ingredients are incorporated, remove from heat.
Use the creamer immediately or let cool before storing. Store creamer in the fridge for up to a week. Shake before using because the spices will settle to the bottom.
Tips and Tricks
With these basic tips, you can make sure this creamer is a five star success:
- Don’t use too high of heat to combine these ingredients on the stove top or you could scald the half and half. A medium low heat will work just fine!
- Give this creamer a taste before storing! You may prefer more pumpkin spice, or even more purée. Feel free to adjust it to your personal flavor preferences.
- Let the creamer completely cool before storing. And you may want to use a funnel to easily transfer the liquid from the saucepan to the storage container.
How to use Pumpkin Spice Creamer
This creamer can be used for more than just coffee, though I love to add a tablespoon or two of it to fresh French press coffee. It’s essentially a make-shift way to throw together a pumpkin spice latte! You can also use it to make an iced PSL too.
It would be super tasty in any fall latte — this one doesn’t use pumpkin, so it’d be a yummy swap for the autumn spice syrup.
This creamer is also so yummy in cold brew coffee and hot coffee. You can even add it to a pumpkin cream cold brew for extra flavor. You could actually even use this in some boozy beverages like a white Russian too!
Serve with pumpkin cream cheese stuffed French toast and some cinnamon sugar donuts for the most lovely fall-inspired breakfast.
FAQ
If you don’t have pumpkin spice, you can make your own with some clove, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Just mix it up and add to the creamer, or even eyeball it and add a bit of each to the saucepan.
This classic flavor combination often emotes feelings of nostalgia and comfort, making it a very popular flavor. The combination of spices are also natural very warming, which makes pumpkin spice a great option for cold weather!
