Ingredient Notes
- Dairy: I like using equal parts heavy cream and whole milk since that’s what I usually have on hand, but you can swap in half & half for convenience. See FAQ section below for how to make this dairy free.
- Pumpkin: Make sure you grab real pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling (sometimes labeled “pumpkin pie mix”), which already has sugar and spices added. You’ll likely have some leftover pumpkin, so check out these pumpkin dessert recipes for tasty ways to use it up.
- Maple Syrup: Sweeten your creamer with pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
- Vanilla: I use pure vanilla extract, but vanilla flavoring will also work if that’s what you have in your pantry.
- Spices: We like the blend of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, but feel free to use just one or the other.

Storage
Store your homemade coffee creamer in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Give it a good shake before using, as the spices and pumpkin can settle.
Pro Tip
Store your homemade creamer in a mason jar to help retain freshness and make it easy to shake before each use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Just use your favorite non-dairy milk and cream, or replace the milk and cream with a dairy-free half & half alternative. You can also use almond, oat, soy, cashew, or coconut milk and skip the cream altogether, just keep in mind your creamer will be thinner. Still delicious, though!
