Ingredients
Ingredients
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 1/4 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Combine milks and warm: Add the sweetened condensed milk and half-and-half to a medium saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add pumpkin and spices: Whisk in the pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice. Continue to cook the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking frequently to blend all ingredients evenly and heat through.
- Cool the mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the creamer cool completely to room temperature to develop flavors.
- Strain (optional): For a smoother texture and to reduce spice sediment, strain the cooled creamer through a cheesecloth if desired.
- Store the creamer: Transfer the pumpkin spice creamer to a bottle or jar with a secure lid.
- Use and shake well: Shake the bottle well before each use to recombine any settled ingredients. Pour into hot coffee, cold brew, or espresso to add a seasonal, creamy touch.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin purée rather than pumpkin pie filling to avoid added sugars and spices.
- The creamer can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Shake well before each use as ingredients may separate over time.
- Straining is optional but recommended for a smoother consistency without spice bits.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice quantity to taste, adding more for stronger flavor.
