Ingredients you will need
Almond Milk – This creates a light, smooth base for this creamer while keeping it completely dairy-free. Its mild flavor allows the pumpkin and warm spices to shine without overpowering them.
Full Fat Coconut Milk – make sure to use full-fat coconut milk from the can. It is the secret to making this creamer rich, creamy, and satisfying. It adds a luxurious texture and subtle coconut flavor while keeping the recipe dairy-free.
Pumpkin Puree – This brings real pumpkin flavor, beautiful color, and a naturally creamy texture to the creamer. Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and spices.
Maple Syrup – Pure maple syrup provides natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with the warm pumpkin spice flavors. It adds a subtle caramel-like flavor that makes this creamer taste extra cozy and delicious.
Vanilla Bean Paste – Vanilla bean paste adds a rich, fragrant vanilla flavor with those beautiful little flecks of vanilla bean throughout. It helps round out the pumpkin and spices and gives the creamer a more decadent flavor.
Pumpkin Spice – A blend of classic fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves gives this creamer its signature pumpkin spice flavor. It’s warm, aromatic, and instantly makes your morning coffee taste like fall.

Tips and Tricks for the best pumpkin spice creamer
- Blend the ingredients thoroughly so the pumpkin puree and spices are evenly incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Measure the ingredients carefully, especially the pumpkin spice and maple syrup, since they have strong flavors.
- Use medium-low heat when warming the creamer. Avoid bringing it to a boil, which can affect the texture.
- Stir frequently for about 5 minutes while it warms. This helps the pumpkin spice “bloom,” releasing more of its flavor into the milk.
- Chill the creamer for a couple of hours before using it. This gives the flavors more time to come together.
- Shake or stir before serving, since the pumpkin puree and spices may settle during refrigeration.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste. Add a little more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter creamer.
- Use it in both hot and iced drinks. It works well stirred into a hot latte or added to an iced coffee.
