Every morning I wake up and use my Keurig to brew a cup of coffee.   While I love a good cup of French vanilla coffee or Pumpkin Spice coffee, I worry about my caffeine intake.   More and more lately I’ve been brewing myself Half-Caff coffee. 

It’s still good but the right creamer really makes it delicious.   I’m not someone who can drink their coffee black.  I need some milk and some flavor so flavored creamers are a favorite of mine.  I love all of the seasonal flavors but then I figured I could probably just make my own coffee creamer at a fraction of the price.

What is Creamer?

Coffee creamer is a liquid or powdered product that people add to coffee to make it creamier, smoother, and often sweeter. It’s typically used instead of (or in addition to) milk or cream. Sadly, many of the commercially made creamers actually have oil as one of their ingredients. 

I also make some really tasty flavored coffee drinks. One of my favorite and easy to make ones is an Iced Brown Sugar Tea Latte. Around the holidays who can resist a Gingerbread Latte?  On a hot summer night I enjoy an Iced Salted Caramel Latte. In the winter I like to warm up with a Vanilla Caramel Latte

I wanted to make a creamer that was actually made with cream and real flavors, not artificial.  The main ingredient in my creamer is heavy cream.  I then added some sweetened condensed milk to make it sweeter and creamier. 

Then I added in a little vanilla and a touch of pumpkin puree.   The resulting creamer was a light orange color and smelled of spices. 

How do you make pumpkin pie spice?

In a bowl combine 3 tablespoons of cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cloves or allspice. Mix together and store in an air tight jar. If you don’t have cloves or allspice you can skip it.

Ingredients:

  • heavy cream (you can use milk but heavy cream works better to keep the ingredients mixed)
  • sweetened condensed milk (do not use evaporated milk)
  • pumpkin puree
  • vanilla extract
  • pumpkin pie spice (see above for a recipe on how to make this!)

In a mixing bowl combine the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Add in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice and mix until well combined.   Place in a mason jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. 

Do I have to put the creamer in a mason jar?

No!   I put it in a mason jar because it has a good seal and it won’t spill if knocked over in the refrigerator.  You can put the creamer in any container with a lid and keep it in the refrigerator.  

The resulting creamer was smooth, sweet, and delicious.  I stored it in a mason jar in my refrigerator and simply shook it up before using each time. 

While you could taste of hint of pumpkin this creamer is more about the pumpkin spice.  It added a lot of flavor to my morning coffee which was perfect.
