Ingredients

For the Velvet Pumpkin Spice Creamer

1 cup pumpkin puree Use canned or homemade pumpkin puree for the best flavor.
2 cups heavy cream This adds richness and a velvety texture to your creamer.
1 cup milk Whole milk works best, but you can use any milk of your choice.
0.5 cup maple syrup For natural sweetness and a hint of maple flavor.
2 teaspoons vanilla extract Adds a warm, sweet aroma and flavor.
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice A blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger that embodies the essence of fall.
0.25 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.

Equipment

Medium saucepan
Whisk
Blender
Airtight container
Measuring cups and spoons

Method

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Step 2: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the mixture continuously to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the mixture is warmed through but not boiling.
Step 3: Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
Step 4: Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Pour the blended creamer into an airtight container. Make sure to seal it well to maintain freshness. Refrigerate for up to one week.
Step 6: Before using, give the container a good shake to mix any settled ingredients.

Notes

Make it vegan by substituting heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use plant-based milk. To prevent the creamer from separating, shake it well before use.
