Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk*
• 2 Tablespoons pumpkin puree
• 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice**
• 1 - 2 cinnamon sticks

Directions:

1. In small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream, pumpkin, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Add cinnamon sticks and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to boil, whisking occasionally, for 1 minute, then remove from heat and let creamer cool in pan 5 minutes before using in your coffee. Add sugar to your coffee if you take it that way. You can also add whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon too.
2. Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.

Side Notes:

1. For a dairy-free version, try coconut, cashew, or almond milk.*
2. I like a lot of spice, so I add close to 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Taste and add however much you like. You can make your own 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice by blending a pinch each of ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground allspice.**
