Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 16 ounces half and half, divided
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the pumpkin mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together ½ cup of the half and half, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and maple extract over low heat. Stir occasionally and heat for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens and is well combined. Be careful not to bring it to a boil. Once done, remove from heat.
- Combine with sweetened condensed milk: Pour the pumpkin mixture into a large bowl. Add the sweetened condensed milk and the remaining 1 ½ cups of half and half to the bowl.
- Blend the creamer: Use a handheld frother or an immersion blender on low speed to thoroughly combine all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Store the creamer: Divide the creamer into glass containers like mason jars, cover them with lids, and refrigerate. Shake well before each use as the ingredients may separate. The creamer will keep fresh for up to one week in the refrigerator.
Notes
- This creamer is perfect for pouring into hot coffee, iced coffee, pumpkin spice lattes, oatmeal, hot chocolate, or tea.
- Always shake the creamer well before use to recombine ingredients that may separate in the fridge.
- Store in airtight containers like mason jars for best freshness up to one week refrigerated.
- The recipe uses half and half to achieve rich creaminess without heaviness; alternative milks like almond or oat have not been tested and may not yield the same results.
- If you have leftover pumpkin puree, try incorporating it into recipes like chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for a delicious dessert.
