Ingredients
Cream Base
- 1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk
Flavorings
- 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, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly mixed.
- Add Cinnamon and Heat: Add the cinnamon sticks, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while whisking occasionally. Boil for 1 minute to infuse the flavors.
- Cool and Strain: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the creamer to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. If the creamer looks separated, pour it through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a smooth texture.
- Use Immediately or Store: Use the creamer in your coffee right away. Remember it has a mild sweetness so you may add sugar to taste. Optionally, garnish your coffee with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
- Store Leftovers: Transfer any leftover creamer (removing the cinnamon sticks) into a tightly sealed jar and refrigerate. Shake well before each use. It keeps fresh for up to 1 week.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk depending on your desired richness.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more pure maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter creamer.
- Use store-bought or homemade pumpkin pie spice depending on availability.
- Straining helps remove any fibrous bits or clumping from the pumpkin puree.
- Shake the creamer well before each use as natural separation may occur during storage.
