Homemade Pumpkin Spice Creamer

October 12, 2013 by jlpenner 10 Comments

Homemade Pumpkin Spice CreamerThis is the real thing, no artificial ingredients.  Pumpkin, spice and cream, all blended together and “yummified”.

As a young adult I actually LOVED non dairy creamer.  I have no idea why, but I thought it was so good, no half aand half for me.  As I have gotten older and eat mostly non processed foods I have really developed a distaste for it.  So for me it is all about 1/2 and 1/2 or milk in my coffee and tea.

I’m sure you don’t know this (just kidding) but anything Pumpkin Spice is all the rage right now.  So, I decided to see if I could put together a natural Homemade Pumpkin Spice Creamer recipe.  And I really think it works.  It tasted great and it was all real.

What could be better?

For this recipe you are also going to need a coffee filter to make a little sachet for the spices.  My guess (but I have not tried it) is that if you had a spicy herbal tea you probably could use a bag of that instead.

You will also need to strain it prior to using.  I use a paint strainer bag.  But you can also use nut bag, clean nylons or a t-shirt to remove the pumpkin pulp.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Half and Half
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 Tbs Sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Take the ground cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice and place into a coffee filler. Tie up with a twist tie or twine. Set aside.
  2. Heat Half and Half in a mug or glass safe bowl on high in the microwave for 90 seconds to 2 minutes.
  3. Steep spice bundle in hot Half and Half for about 5 minutes. If the spice taste is not strong enough, remove the bundle and heat for a another 30 seconds and place the spice bundle into steep again until the flavor is stronger.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree and sugar.
  5. Strain the creamer through a nut bag, paint straining bag, clean nylons or a t-shirt. You will be left with most of the pumpkin in the bag. Either reserve for another use or throw away.
  6. Store for 2-3 days in a covered jar or container.
  7. Add as much as you like to coffee or tea.
  8. Stir or shake prior to each use.

    I made this the other day. Instead of straining the pumpkin, I just added the steeped half & half and the pumpkin to my Magic Bullet and blended it all together. The aroma and the taste was AMAZING...until I added it to my coffee. I couldn't taste any hint of the creamer at all and I ended up adding quite a bit to even get a small taste of it and nothing. :(
