Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the half and half, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to mix everything together.
- Simmer Mixture: Stir frequently and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, ensuring the ingredients are well blended and heated through without boiling.
- Cool Slightly: Once simmering, remove from heat and let the creamer cool slightly to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken a bit.
- Store Properly: Transfer the creamer to a storage container. Use immediately for best flavor or refrigerate to enjoy later. Shake well before each use.
Notes
- Shake well before using as ingredients may settle during refrigeration.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for best flavor; canned pumpkin puree works as well.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Store refrigerated and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
- Can be used in coffee, tea, or as a creamy addition to breakfast oatmeal.
