I originally published this recipe in 2015 and have since added new photos and a few more success tips. Nothing compares to a steaming-hot cup of coffee on cool mornings. Add some pumpkin coffee creamer and maybe some apple cider donuts, and you have a sweater-weather dream come true. While there are plenty of pumpkin spice coffee creamers at the grocery store these days, and the pre-made packaged stuff is certainly convenient, homemade pumpkin coffee creamer is surprisingly quick and easy to make. Plus, it keeps for a week in the refrigerator, so one batch will last for multiple mornings of that mmm-moment worth getting out of bed for! Readers are raving about this homemade coffee creamer:

How to Make It
You just need a saucepan and a whisk, and in less than 15 minutes of cooking, you have the perfect blend of fall flavors for your morning coffee. One reader, Argie, commented: “Well I just made this and it’s delicious! Goals, avoid paying $6 for a pumpkin spice latte when I can make one at home that’s richer, cheaper, and easier. Sweetness is great, not nearly as sweet as those commercial PSLs… ★★★★★” That’s all you do!
Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
The base of coffee creamer is, obviously, dairy cream or half-and-half. For a dairy-free alternative, try using coconut milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or almond milk. Full-fat coconut milk will give you the thickest, creamiest result; other nondairy milks may be on the thinner side. One favorite way to enjoy coffee in the fall? Add a splash of homemade pumpkin creamer, then top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Talk about dreamy.
