Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Creamer


 

I love drinking coffee with a girlfriend and having a good kitchen table chat.  Some of you may be too young to understand what a kitchen table chat is.   Well, “back in the day” when Keurig cups and Keurig machines were not around, and Starbucks did not exist, we had coffee makers.  Some of you may remember …..Mr. Coffee Coffeemaker J There were a lot on the market but, when I was a young girl my Mama had one and I just thought it was everything.   We would “put on a pot of coffee”, (that’s how my Mama would say it) grab the cream and sugar and visit while enjoying our coffee.
While in the market shopping for coffee creamers, I was not aware that one of the ingredients in my favorite coffee creamer was Vegetable Oil!  Yes, Vegetable Oil! Well, that did it for me.  As I continued to read, there were other ingredients that were not pleasing to say the least I decided to do some research and make my own.

I know, it sounds like a big deal to make coffee creamer, but it’s not!  It is so easy to make. Once you try it you will be hooked.
Your prep time in the kitchen should be about 15 minutes or less.

Here is what you will need to get started. half & half or heavy whipping cream. 
I use the one that I have in the fridge when I am ready to make my coffee creamer.
 They are both delish!
Add Heavy whipping cream or Half & Half.



Add  Sweetened Condensed milk.


Add pumpkin puree

Add Pumpkin pie spice
Add cinnamon.

All the spices have been added.

Add vanilla extract

 all of the ingredients piled into my magic bullet

 
                  This recipe can fill about 3, 8 oz. mason jars with Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Creamer
 
Ingredients
1 cup half and half or whipping cream (I have used both)
1 Can Sweetened Condensed milk
3 tablespoons Pumpkin puree
3 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
Combine milk, condensed milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a mixer.  I use my magic pullet.  Mix for about 30 seconds.  If you are using whipping cream be careful not to mix too long because the mixture thickens.
You can also mix these ingredients together in a bowl.  If mixing in a bowl I would recommend using a whisk. Whisk to combine all ingredients.
  • Store in a mason jar in refrigerator
  • Shake well before each use. 
  • Good for 7 days

 
Enjoy

Coconut Pecan Banana Bread

I enjoy eating banana bread, however I never intentionally set out to make it. In fact, Banana bread is always made in an effort to us...
