Tips & Variations
- Measure pumpkin purée by volume with measuring cups rather than weight, as moisture content can vary by brand.
- For a vegan version, use almond, oat, or soy milk instead of half-and-half.
- Adjust the pumpkin pie spice to suit your taste—add a pinch more cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Use the syrup alone as a sweetened pumpkin-flavored syrup for drizzling on pancakes or desserts.
Storage
Store the pumpkin spice creamer in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before each use as ingredients may settle. Reheat gently before adding to your coffee if you prefer it warm.
