This pantry-friendly list makes your homemade pumpkin spice coffee creamer something you can whip up on a whim — and savor with every cup.

Step-by-step Instructions

Step 1: Warm the Cream Base

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the heavy whipping cream, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Whisk gently but consistently until the mixture just begins to simmer — this should take about 5 minutes. You’ll start smelling that irresistible fall aroma as everything warms together.

Step 2: Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk

Once simmering, slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk while continuing to whisk. It helps give your homemade pumpkin spice coffee creamer that velvety smooth texture and sweetness. Be sure to mix well so everything blends completely.

Step 3: Finish with Vanilla

Turn off the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. This step enhances all the spices and deepens the warm, comforting flavor of your creamer. Tip: Always add vanilla at the end to preserve its natural fragrance.

Step 4: Let It Cool

Allow the creamer to cool for at least 15–20 minutes. Don’t rush this part — cooling lets the flavors mingle even more, and it helps prevent condensation in your storage container.

Step 5: Store It Right

Transfer the creamer into a clean, covered jar or bottle. Glass mason jars work beautifully and add that homemade charm. Refrigerate for up to 10 days and give it a good shake before each use — natural ingredients can settle over time.

Step 6: Enjoy in Your Favorite Brew

Pour your freshly made homemade pumpkin spice coffee creamer into a hot cup of coffee, froth it for a latte-style treat, or drizzle it into iced coffee. However you use it, it brings fall flavor to every sip.

Pro Tips

Don’t rush the simmer. Letting your base gently warm helps the pumpkin and spices bloom, giving your homemade pumpkin spice coffee creamer a rich, full flavor without any bitterness.

Use real pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The puree gives your creamer authenticity and thickness, while keeping control over sweetness and spice.

Want a smoother texture? Strain your creamer through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth before bottling. This removes any lingering bits of spice or pumpkin.

Shake before each use. Since this homemade pumpkin spice coffee creamer uses real ingredients, natural separation can occur in the fridge.

Store it in a glass jar for freshness and easy pouring. Bonus: it looks gorgeous on your fall breakfast table beside something sweet like pumpkin cream cheese muffins.

Variations

Make it dairy-free by swapping the heavy cream for canned coconut milk and using a dairy-free sweetened condensed milk. It adds a subtle tropical richness to your homemade pumpkin spice coffee creamer.

Try a maple-vanilla twist. Add a splash of extra maple syrup and double the vanilla to create a dessert-style creamer that’s decadent and delightful.

Spice it up! If you like bold flavors, add a pinch more cinnamon or even a dash of ground cloves or cardamom.

Create a cold foam topper by blending your creamer in a milk frother — perfect for cold brew! It pairs especially well with recipes like our pumpkin cold foam.

Feeling festive? Add a tiny bit of nutmeg and top your latte with whipped cream for a treat that rivals any coffee shop creation.
