Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk
- 2 heaping Tablespoons (about 35g) pumpkin puree
- 2 Tablespoons (30ml) pure maple syrup (or more, if you prefer sweeter creamer)
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons store-bought or homemade pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the heavy cream (or half-and-half or whole milk), pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until well mixed.
- Add Cinnamon and Heat: Add the cinnamon sticks to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally, and continue boiling for 1 minute to infuse the flavors.
- Cool and Strain: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the creamer cool in the pan for 5 minutes. If the creamer appears separated, pour it through a fine-mesh sieve to smooth out the texture.
- Use Immediately: Add the creamer to your coffee immediately. Note that it is lightly sweetened, so you can add extra sugar if desired. Optionally, top your coffee with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for added flavor.
- Store Leftovers: Remove the cinnamon sticks and transfer any leftover creamer to a tightly sealing jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
Notes
- You can use heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk, depending on your preferred richness and calorie content.
- The sweetness level can be adjusted by adding more pure maple syrup or sugar to taste.
- For a smoother texture, strain the creamer through a fine mesh sieve, especially if it looks separated.
- Store the creamer in the refrigerator without cinnamon sticks to preserve flavor without over-infusing.
- Shake the creamer well before each use to recombine ingredients.
