Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream, half and half, milk or plant based milk oat milk, almond milk, and cashew milk all work fine
  • 1/4 cup sweetener maple syrup, cane sugar, or granulated monk fruit
  • 3 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Combine milk base and sweetener of choice, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until sugar is well dissolved.
  2. Reduce heat to low and add extract. Allow to steam another 3-4 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and strain pumpkin puree out by using a fine mesh strainer over a glass jar.
  4. Allow to cool slightly. Store in a jar or bottle with a lid in the fridge for 5-6 days.

Notes

See full post for how results may vary based on the various milk (and dairy free) options mentioned.
Maple syrup provides the best flavor to the creamer, but granulated sugar also yields good results.
Even with straining, you may still have little bits of pumpkin pie spice. If this bothers you, consider spooning the creamer out into your coffee instead of pouring. This should keep the settled pumpkin bits at the bottom of the jar.
