I love the flavors and scents that fall brings, especially pumpkin. Lately on Facebook everyone has been talking about pumpkin lattes and pumpkin coffee, pumpkin creamer and all things coffee and pumpkin together.
YUM!
But I have two problems with this.
First, I hardly ever go out so I rarely have the chance to order a pumpkin coffee.
Second, I am a purist with respect to my diet and try to make as much as I can from scratch. I think people don’t realize how easy it really is to make some of their favorite things instead of buying it pre-made.
So I figured I would try to make my own pumpkin creamer, and it was pretty easy. My version is also healthy too!
I used these ingredients:
Heated the half & half, pumpkin and Truvia on the stove until bubbling.
Then I added in everything else, whisked until mixed and chilled.
- 1 cup fat free half & half (skim milk works better because the pumpkin will thicken it up significantly)
- ½ cup pumpkin
- Truvia or sugar to taste (1-2 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Heat half & half, pumpkin and sugar (or Truvia) over medium heat until bubbling and sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from heat.
- Wisk vanilla and spices into warm mixtures until well blended.
- Cool.
- Serve.
You can choose to top it off with some whipped cream and cinnamon or nutmeg sprinkled on top! Real whipped cream has around 25 calories so it’s actually a guilt-free treat.

THANK YOU!!! I think you just made the entire world a better place. I’m going to go buy all the ingredients right now!! EEEEKKKKKK!!!! Can I please re-post this if I give you credit!?!
VERY easy to make and so delicious! I used 1% milk and the consistency was perfect.
This looks yummy! Trying this in the fall!
Love this! I would love to try to come up with a Gingerbread creamer recipe. Most of the ones that I’ve seen either use Coffeemate or they use Molasses or Brown Sugar. Any ideas about how to make a sugar free version of Gingerbread cream using either skim milk of fat free half n half???
This Homemade Pumpkin Spice Creamer recipe is easy to make. My hubby loves to add cream to his coffee. I’ll consider trying this recipe for him. Thanks for sharing! :)
This looks fantastic — and so much cheaper than Starbucks! Wow!
