Ingredients You’ll Need

Each ingredient in this Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer Recipe plays a role in creating that classic fall flavor without overpowering your coffee. I like to use real pumpkin puree—not the pie filling—to keep the taste fresh and natural.

• Half and half: This gives the creamer the perfect creamy texture without being too heavy, which I love for my morning coffee.
• Pumpkin puree: Make sure it’s pure pumpkin, not pie filling, for the best flavor and no added sugars.
• Pumpkin pie spice: This blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves is what gives the creamer its warm, cozy spices.
• Vanilla extract: Adds a lovely subtle sweetness and depth to the creamer.
• Maple extract: Just a touch gives it that rich, fall vibe without adding liquid sweetness.
• Sweetened condensed milk: This ingredient is the secret behind the creamer’s smooth, velvety consistency and perfect sweetness.

Variations

What I really appreciate about this creamer recipe is how easy it is to customize. Feel free to tweak the spices or sweetness to suit your coffee preferences—you’ll find that a small change can make it your very own signature blend.

• Use coconut milk creamer: I’ve experimented with swapping half and half for full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free twist—and loved the subtle tropical undertone it added.
• Adjust spices: If you want it more cinnamon-forward, just double the cinnamon and dial back the nutmeg.
• Less sweet: Cut the sweetened condensed milk in half and add a splash of your favorite sweetener if you prefer a less sweet creamer.
• Spiked version: For an adult treat, add a splash of rum or bourbon—the warm spices pair beautifully with a little kick.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer Recipe

Step 1: Warm and blend the pumpkin spices

Start by whisking half a cup of half and half with the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and maple extract in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally for about 3-5 minutes until it’s slightly thickened and the flavors meld nicely. A big tip here: don’t bring it to a boil! Low and slow is key to keeping that silky texture and rich flavor without bitterness.

Step 2: Mix with sweetened condensed milk and the rest of the half and half

Transfer your warm pumpkin mixture into a large bowl—an 8-cup glass measuring bowl with a spout works wonders for easy pouring. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and the remaining 1 ½ cups of half and half. At this point, everything starts to come together into that luscious creamer.

Step 3: Blend until perfectly smooth

Use a handheld frother or an immersion blender on low speed to combine everything until it’s silky and smooth. This blending step is what gives the creamer that satisfying, creamy mouthfeel.

Step 4: Store and enjoy throughout the week

Divide your creamer between two 16-ounce mason jars or similar glass containers and seal tightly. Pop them in the fridge and shake well each time before using because the ingredients naturally separate. It keeps fresh for up to one week—enough to liven up your morning routine all season long.

How to Serve Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer Recipe

Garnishes

I’m a big fan of sprinkling a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg on top of my coffee after adding the creamer—it amps up the aroma and looks pretty too! Sometimes I even add a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent treat.

Side Dishes

Pair your pumpkin spice coffee with warm cinnamon rolls, pumpkin muffins, or even a slice of apple crisp for the ultimate autumn vibe. These cozy combos make mornings feel like a special occasion.

Creative Ways to Present

For a fun twist at fall brunches, I like to set up a DIY coffee bar with jars of this creamer, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and brown sugar cubes. Your guests will love customizing their drinks—and the pumpkin spice scent fills the room!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Once made, I store the creamer in sealed mason jars in the fridge. It holds up beautifully for about a week, but always shake well before pouring since ingredients separate over time.

Freezing

I haven’t tried freezing this Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer Recipe myself because the texture changes with freezing, but if you want to experiment, freeze in ice cube trays and thaw overnight in the fridge. Let me know if you give this a go!

Reheating

If your creamer gets a bit too cold or thick straight from the fridge, just warm a small amount in the microwave briefly or stir vigorously in hot coffee to help it blend smoothly. This keeps that creamy texture intact and tastes just as good.
