Skip the coffee shop and make creamy pumpkin spice creamer at home with real pumpkin and warm fall spices.
Coffee and good conversation just seem to belong together, especially when your cup tastes like fall.
My sister and I may live miles apart now, but we still talk most mornings with coffee in hand, so a good creamer matters.
This homemade pumpkin spice creamer combines real pumpkin, cream, and warm spices, and you can adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Plus, the way it smells while warming on the stove makes it worth making all on its own!

Frequently Asked Questions
Store the creamer in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use it within about four to five days. Since this recipe contains real cream, milk, and pumpkin, it needs to stay refrigerated.
Give it a good shake or stir before each use because some separation is completely normal.
Yes. Pumpkin pie spice usually contains a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sometimes allspice.
Since blends can vary, start with a smaller amount and taste the creamer before adding more. This gives you better control over the final flavor.
You can experiment with other types of milk, but replacing the dairy will change the flavor and texture.
Oat milk has a naturally creamy consistency that works nicely with fall spices, while almond milk generally creates a thinner creamer. Coconut milk can add richness, but it will also add a noticeable coconut flavor.
If you're specifically looking for a dairy-free pumpkin spice coffee creamer, replace both the milk and heavy whipping cream with dairy-free alternatives rather than swapping only the milk.
I consider about two tablespoons one serving, but coffee is personal! Start with a small amount, taste your coffee, and add more until you have the creaminess and sweetness you like.
