Couldn’t Find It

My son couldn’t find Pumpkin Pie Spice coffee creamer at the grocery store.  So popular I guess they can’t keep it in stock.

Making the creamer at home took about 10 minutes.

Carrie at Deliciously Organic solved our problem with a simple homemade recipe.

The ingredients in pumpkin pie spice: 1 t cinnamon, 1/2 t nutmeg, 1/2 t ginger, 1/4 t cloves.

First I mix up my own pumpkin pie spice.

A little goes along way but this is a delicious mixture.

Then on to the creamer recipe:

1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons pureed pumpkin
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whisk together milk, cream, pumpkin, pumpkin spice, and maple syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When mixture begins to steam, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pour into a glass bottle and store in the refrigerator. Makes 1 pint.

I tried straining through a coffee filter but it didn’t work. I just poured it through a mesh strainer.

Hope everyone enjoys it.
