Yes, I realize that technically Fall is in the middle of September. But let’s be real, I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling or wanting the fall season as soon as the kids are back in school. Nothing says fall more than a steaming hot cup of coffee on cool mornings with a splash of pumpkin coffee creamer, topped with cinnamon whipped cream. Serve it up with a slice of apple pumpkin bread and you have a fall dream come true. I used to just buy pumpkin spice creamer from the store, but now I make my own! You use real pumpkins and can adjust the spices to your liking.
Pumpkin creamer is honestly so easy to make and comes together in just 15 minutes (maybe 20 depending on your stove).

Quick Overview
Pumpkin Spice Creamer Ingredients
These ingredients come together to make the perfect pumpkin spice coffee creamer that will have you thinking about pumpkin pie.
brown sugar
Brown sugar uses molasses with white sugar and gives the pumpkin spice creamer a nice rich flavor. Replace with equal parts white sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Note: If you chose maple syrup you also need to cut back on the evaporated milk but ¼ cup
pumpkin purée
Pumpkin purée is what gives this creamer its real pumpkin flavor and ¼ cup is all you need. Store leftover pumpkin in a food-safe container in the fridge or freeze the puree into perfect-sized portions with these silicon portion trays!
pumpkin spice
The reason for the season! The pumpkin spice is what makes this creamer go from pumpkin to PUMPKIN PIE!
evaporated milk
evaporated milk is unsweetened condensed milk. It’s thicker than regular milk, but not as fatty as heavy cream. So it helps create the creamer without making it too fatty or too thin. Replace with equal parts coconut milk.
heavy cream
Heavy cream, also known as heavy whipping cream or simply cream, adds a rich creaminess to this creamer. Don’t have any on hand? Replace with equal parts half and half or coconut cream.
sweetened condensed milk
Sweetened condensed milk is a very thick sweet evaporated milk. It adds sweetness and a luxurious creamy texture to it. Replace with equal parts full-fat coconut milk.
vanilla extract
vanilla extract adds a subtle flavor, enhances the other flavors, and adds a slight hint of sweetness.
how to make your Coffee Creamer:
Below is the gist of how to make your pumpkin spice creamer. For the entire recipe in one easy area scroll down to the recipe card.
Mix Ingredients. Whisk together all ingredients in a medium saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat.
Bring to a Simmer. Continue to whisk until creamer is smooth and begins to simmer (about 5 minutes). Once everything is mixed well and heated through, remove from heat and set aside to cool (about 5 minutes or so).
Jenn’s Notes:
This pumpkin spice creamer recipe is NOT a walk away and come back. You do need to continuously whisk or the milk and sugar will scorch.
Store. Pour into a jar or small carafe. Use immediately or store your pumpkin spice creamer, in your choice of container, in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
Storage Details
Pour into a jar, carafe, swing-top pitcher, or other container of your choice.
- Stored in the fridge for 1-2 weeks
- For Easy portion sizes; freeze in silicone ice cube trays. Once frozen, remove it and put it into a storage bag to be used anytime!
- I highly recommend warming it in your mug first, then adding your coffee. Unless your coffee is extremely hot and you want the cube to cool off your coffee.
