Ingredients

Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of milk. This will create a rich and creamy base for your coffee creamer.
- Add 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree to the bowl. Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.

- Pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for added sweetness and depth of flavor.
- If you prefer your creamer sweetened, add your sweetener of choice to taste. You can use sugar, maple syrup, honey, or a sugar substitute, depending on your preference.
- Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Make sure there are no lumps from the pumpkin puree.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or spice levels as desired, adding more pumpkin spice or sweetener if needed.
- Transfer the homemade pumpkin coffee creamer to a clean jar or airtight container for storage.
- Refrigerate the creamer for up to one week. Shake well before using, as the ingredients may separate over time.
- Enjoy your homemade pumpkin coffee creamer in your favorite coffee or as a delicious addition to lattes and other beverages!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices that can alter the taste of your creamer.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking. Experiment with different sweeteners like maple syrup for a natural touch or a sugar substitute for a low-calorie option.
- Mix It Up: If you want to get creative, consider adding a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon for an extra layer of warmth and spice.
- Storage Solutions: Store your homemade creamer in a clean jar or airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to a week—just remember to give it a good shake before each use!
- Perfect Pairings: This pumpkin coffee creamer isn’t just for coffee! Try it in lattes, chai tea, or even drizzled over pancakes for a deliciously festive touch.
