'Tis the season for PSL! As much as I'm a pumpkin lover, the truth is that when it comes to Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks, I can take 'em or leave 'em. However, with the advent of another fall, it occurred to me that perhaps I've been missing out all this time. So I decided to devise my own version of Pumpkin Spice Creamer at home and figure out if all the hype is actually justified.

It turns out that I have been missing out, because creamy pumpkin spice coffee is pretty darn yummy! At least it is when it's made from scratch with real, natural ingredients. And that's what makes this Pumpkin Spice Creamer so good...it only contains ingredients that you can actually pronounce.

Ingredients

Milk. Cream. Maple syrup. Pumpkin puree. Vanilla. Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.

Yep, I could pretty much drink it on its own like a milkshake.

How to Make It

If you've ever tried my other all-natural coffee creamers, this pumpkin spice version is just as easy to make:

  1. Simply whisk the ingredients together in a pot until bubbly.
  2. Remove from the heat.
  3. After cooling, transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator for effortless, homemade Pumpkin Spice Lattes all week long!

The main difference between this recipe and my other homemade coffee creamers is that this one turns out a bit thicker due to the pumpkin puree. That's why I recommend whisking the mixture vigorously and cooking it a little longer.

You can even strain the finished creamer through a fine mesh sieve into a jar for storage, if you like, but I don't think that step is really necessary. Your coffee will just seem creamier and more luxurious than ever thanks to this thick, rich creamer.

So forgo the Starbucks run, control exactly what goes into your cup o' joe, and enjoy autumn-inspired coffee fresh from your very own kitchen. Pumpkin Spice Creamer smells wonderful, tastes even better, and -- for those of us who live somewhere that fall doesn't particularly feel like fall -- it's the perfect way to get into the spirit of the season...you know, without needing to actually step outside and ruin the whole illusion. 😉

Helpful Tips, Tricks, & Equipment

  • Feel free to adjust the milk-to-cream ratio if you prefer your creamer lighter or richer.
  • Tweak the amount of maple syrup to your liking, depending on how sweet you like your coffee. I find that I use slightly more maple syrup in this recipe as compared to my other homemade coffee creamers to balance out the pumpkin. You can also increase the cinnamon or other spices.
  • You may strain the creamer through a fine mesh sieve before using and/or storing, if you wish.
  • Once the creamer is chilled, it will thicken and it may separate a bit. Shake well before adding to your coffee.
  • One of my favorite ways to make coffee shop-quality drinks at home is by using an inexpensive milk frother.

    1. Hi Tess! It depends on the expiration date of the ingredients you use in the creamer. So unless your milk and/or heavy cream are about to expire, the creamer should be fine in the fridge for about 5 to 7 days. 🙂

    1. Hi Melanie! I bet you could make this recipe with your favorite non-dairy milk (like almond milk). The flavor will be slightly different and the creamer will turn out a little lighter without the heavy cream, but the pumpkin and spices should make those differences less noticeable. I'd suggest making a half recipe to start out, though, just to make sure you like it. 🙂 Good luck!
