Pumpkin Spice Creamer

Fall is here. I love this time of year. I'm not sure what says Fall to me more than a Pumpkin Spice latte from Starbucks. Last week Starbucks began serving them for the first time this season. I would love them all year round, but they're only available in the fall and they cost close to $5 a piece!


I thought about buying pumpkin spice creamer at the grocery store, but have you ever read the ingredient list? It's a bunch of stuff I can't even pronounce. I'm not even sure if there's even any milk or cream in it. So i hunted on pinterest and I found a pumpkin spice cream recipe. 

Tonight after we got the kids to bed. I got started making my very own pumpkin spice creamer from scratch!

1 cup of organic milk
1 cup of heavy cream milk
4 tablespoons of pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4 tablespoons maple syrup ( i prefer real maple syrup)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Whisk milk, cream, pumpkin, syrup, and pumpkin spice together over medium heat. When it gets steamy remove from heat and add in the vanilla. Use a strainer to transfer the cream into a glass container! Let it cool down and chill it the refrigerator



The recipe was delicious! I will definitely be enjoying my pumpkin spice at home a lot this season.  The only thing I will do differently is put some whipped cream on top & perhaps sprinkle some pumpkin spice sprinkled on top.  Hope you enjoy. It was really simple to make.
