Pumpkin Spice Creamer #PumpkinWeek

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.

I started out by using heavy cream and spices.  I quickly realized I needed to make it sweet and didn't want to use sugar so I went with sweetened condensed milk.  Then I added in a little vanilla and a touch of pumpkin.   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.  It added a lot of flavor to my morning coffee which was perfect.
