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 Dairy: Add the sweetened condensed milk and half-and-half to a medium sauce pot. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking continuously until it is smooth and fully combined.
- Add Pumpkin and Spice: Whisk in the pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice. Continue cooking the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes over medium-low heat, whisking frequently to blend all ingredients thoroughly and heat the creamer through.
- Cool the Mixture: Remove the pot from heat and allow the creamer to cool completely to room temperature to develop the flavors and make it ready for storage.
- Optional Straining: To achieve a smoother texture, strain the mixture through cheesecloth to remove larger spice particles, if desired.
- Store the Creamer: Transfer the pumpkin spice creamer into a clean bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Use and Shake: Shake the bottle well before each use to recombine any separated ingredients. Pour your creamer into hot coffee, cold brew, or espresso drinks as desired for a delicious pumpkin-flavored boost.
Notes
- Use pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and flavor.
- The creamer can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Shake well before each use, as ingredients may separate over time.
- For a thinner creamer, adjust the amount of half-and-half to your preference.
- Straining is optional and helps to remove spice bits for a smoother pour.
