Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream or ½ cup cream + ½ cup milk for a lighter, half-and-half style
  • ¼ cup pumpkin purée
  • 5 tbsp maple syrup plus more to taste
  • 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Combine the ingredients. In a small saucepan, whisk together all the ingredients (cream, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla).
  2. Simmer. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, whisking frequently, and cook for 2–3 minutes to let the spices fully dissolve.
  3. Strain. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth to remove any residue, leaving a smoother creamer.
  4. Taste and adjust. Taste and stir in more maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter.
  5. Cool and store. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. Shake or stir before each use.

Notes

  • For a lighter version: Use ½ cup cream and ½ cup milk instead of a full cup of cream.
  • A little thickness is normal. The pumpkin purée gives the creamer a slightly thicker texture than you'd get from a store-bought creamer, but it dissolves smoothly into hot coffee.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste. Taste once it's done simmering and add more maple syrup if desired.
