Pumpkin Spice Creamer Copycat Recipe

Pumpkin Spice Creamer Copycat Recipe: Trade the artificial ingredients of store bought creamer for real, wholesome ingredients with this copycat recipe!Pumpkin spice creamer is like autumn in a mug. When bottles of seasonal creamer appear in the store, it’s hard not to put a bottle or two in my cart. They’re just so good. Unfortunately, they’re full of artificial ingredients.

My desire to have a wholesome version of store bought pumpkin spice creamer prompted me to try pumpkin spice creamer recipes from around the web. After trying two recipes that failed to impress, I decided to take ideas from multiple creamer recipes and make my own. I think Gary tried five or six different variations of my Pumpkin Spice Creamer Copycat Recipe as I worked to get the recipe just right. Finally, the trial and error paid off and this recipe emerged!

While it’s certainly not fat or sugar free, I feel a lot better about putting a liberal splash of this creamer in my cup. An ingredients list that includes only cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice is certainly preferable to ingredients like sodium stearoyl lactylate, polysorbate 60, sodium caseinate and palm oil.

You can also adjust the sweetness of this recipe to your tastes. Store bought creamers are extremely sweet so that a little goes a long way. This recipe is too. If you prefer a lightly sweetened creamer, you can scale back on the sugar; I’ve made it with as little as ¼ cup and it was still delicious. You can even try replacing it with your favorite sugar substitute.

You can strain the recipe through a fine mesh strainer if the idea of pumpkin sediment at the bottom of your cup bothers you. The first few times I made this recipe, I didn’t strain it. I would just pour out the last sip of coffee.  Then, when I began straining it I noticed much less sediment in the bottom of the cup. The spices will still settle to the bottom of your jar of creamer however, so give it a shake each time before using.

Pumpkin Spice Creamer Copycat Recipe

Trade the artificial ingredients of store bought creamer for real, wholesome ingredients with this copycat recipe!
Author Rachael

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin or fresh pumpkin puree
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or make your own
  • 3/4 cup sugar Adjust to taste. See my note below.
  • 2 cups almond milk or low fat milk I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium sauce pan and whisk together.
  • Place on medium heat, and continue stirring often.
  • Heat until steam starts to appear, about five minutes (it should not begin to boil!)
  • Remove from heat.
  • Optional: Strain with a fine mesh strainer.
  • Allow to cool and store in the fridge. Makes about 3/4 a quart.

Notes

I like to skip the sugar and make an unsweetened version. Then, once my creamer and coffee has been added to the cup, I add a packet of my favorite low calorie sweetener and enjoy.

    I am so happy I found you on Merry Monday # 74 . I have a large pumpkin obsession and I bought some store brand creamer. I think yours would be much better.

    I am having a link up over on my blog if you would like to link up there too.
