Fall is fast approaching, and we all know what that means, pumpkin recipes will be all the rave. Additionally, one of the most popular coffees will be available for a limited time. For those who are wondering which one I am talking about, it’s the pumpkin spice latte. I don’t recall when it first launched, but I can tell you, people love this drink.
Personally, I am not really a fan of the pumpkin spice latte; however, Kim drinks them like crazy. Furthermore, she’s always bummed when they stop selling them at our local coffee shop. Kim tried to make a recipe similar to this one last year, but it didn’t turn out. She decided against sharing it because she wasn’t happy with the final product.
This year I decided to take a crack at making our version of the pumpkin spice latte. Since I’ve never worked in a coffee shop, I had no idea how this famous drink was prepared. With that being said, it would seem to me the most logical approach would be a spiced creamer. Simply take a heavy cream and start adding all the flavors of pumpkin pie.
This apparently was the right the approach because Kim adored the first batch. By spending just a few minutes with the blender, I came up with what Kim thinks is the perfect at-home pumpkin spice latte. I want to be transparent and admit, I did not try this drink, so you’ll have to take Kim’s word on how delicious it turned out to be.
One thing is certain; it had to be pretty tasty because the batch disappeared in two days. The house smelled of espresso all day, every day until the creamer was all gone. In regards to flavor, it has all the classic pumpkin pie spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and my favorite ginger.
Before I go, I wanted to mention one thing. Once this pumpkin spice latte creamer sits in the fridge overnight, it gets thick due to the sweetened condensed milk. Make sure you shake it before each use. Also, you may not need as much creamer as Kim uses because technically we drink espresso and not coffee. So, a lighter roast may not need to have as much of the creamer. In closing, I wish everyone a long life, love everlasting, and a tummy full of flavored coffee!
Used in this Recipe:
Our pumpkin spice latte creamer has all the seasonal flavors of your favorite coffee shop latte in the convenience of your own home.
- 1 Can Cooked Mashed Pumpkin (15 ounces)
- 1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 ounces)
- 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Cup Milk (2%)
- 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
-
In a large blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients and blend them for about one minute. The mixture will be thick and creamy.
-
Then place the creamer in a sealed container and store it in your fridge for up to five days.
-
When preparing a drink, shake the creamer well to mix settled ingredients. Afterward, use one part creamer to one part coffee for maximum pumpkin spice flavor. (example: four ounces of creamer and four ounces of coffee in the same cup.)
The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe. This final mixture will make between 15 and 20 servings depending on how much you drink in your coffee. I recommend using equal parts creamer and coffee for the best flavor.
Hi there! I love Pumpkin Spice Iced coffees and give them out to my customers during the summer at the Farmer’s Market. the neat thing is, you don’t have to use pumpkin mashed. You can purchase pumpkin powder (Organic). Here is what I do: I asked whether they want Almond Milk or Organic Whole Milk. I put this in an 8 oz. cup:
1/2 cup Whole Milk or Almond Milk
1 tbsp of Pumpkin Powder
Dash or two of Stevia
1-2 ounces cold brew coffee
Sprinkle of Pumpkin Spice
Sprinkle of Cinnamon
Blend with frother until milk foams a bit. Put ice in it. Top with Redi-Whip and a sprinkle of cinnamon on the cream. Serve!
Yum!!!
Thank you for sharing, Nancy! I couldn’ find pumpkin powder locally but I did find it on Amazon. The link is listed below. I wish I would have known about this product. I would have changed the recipe completely because I am not crazy about using the sweetened condensed milk. It causes the creamer to thicken too much in the fridge. Kim didn’t mind, but I feel like it would have been a better drink without the extra sweetener. Oh well, I can always “redux” the latte again some time. Thanks again for commenting and telling me about pumpkin powder and your recipe. I provided the link for everyone who can’t get it locally. Have a great day, Nancy! http://amzn.to/2i20U19
They no longer have the first one I ordered. I just ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/Nubeleaf-Organic-Pumpkin-Powder-14oz/dp/B06XH5SQX9/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1502808053&sr=8-4&keywords=pumpkin%2Bpowder&th=1 as I am almost out of the first 10 oz.
You are like me, I dislike sweetened condensed milk. It’s much more natural to use a tiny bit of Stevia (it’s so sweet, though, so have to watch it!). You can make this as a creamer, too, to put in your latte.
People love it! you don’t have to wait until “the fall season” to have a pumpkin drink. 🙂

I usually don’t sweetened condensed milk, just not in a coffee creamer. I usually don’t use stevia either, just not a fan of the after taste. Typically, I stick to good ole’ unhealthy granulated sugar lol! Pumpkin latte drinks are great for Kim and I am glad she will be able to enjoy it year round. Thanks again for dropping by Nancy! Have a wonderful Wednesday 🙂
Oh! I just LOVE the after taste of pumpkin and I LOVE latte! Just like you, I get quite bummed when pumpkin goes away after the season is over but am happy that it’s coming back soon enough! Thanks for sharing this! I never thought of using a blender for this before! Now I’ve gotta try!
Thank you, Karlyn! Kim’s a huge fan of the lattes, me, not so much. I hope you enjoy the recipe and have a lovely Wednesday 🙂
This sounds so yummy! I love my coffee. One of the first major purchases my husband and I made was buying a nice espresso machine– after all, we met while I was working at a coffee shop.
I can’t wait to make this creamer and have a lovely taste of fall in my latte!
Thank you, Jamie! An espresso machine sounds amazing to have around the house. I hope you enjoy the creamer and wish you a lovely Wednesday 🙂
“tis the season!! Well not quite but we are getting close to the Pumpkin Spice season, my favorite season of all. I love Pumpkin Spice coffees so this creamer sounds pretty fantastic to me. And looks really easy to make too!
Thank you, Censie! I wish I could get on board with all the pumpkin spice drinks but I just don’t enjoy the drinks. Oh well, as long as others enjoy it, who am I get in the way lol! That’s why I tried to make this for Kim. I hope you try out our creamer. Have a lovely Wednesday 🙂
My husband would like to try this. I am ready for pumpkin season, but for pumpkin treats! I have a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie that I make that is delicious. I will have to make it soon.
Thank you, Melanie! I agree, I will skip the most of the drinks and stick to the treats, like pumpkin rolls! Do you have a link for the smoothie? If not, do you plan on sharing it soon? Kim would probably love it. Thanks again for dropping by and have a lovely Wednesday 🙂
Yes! Thank you for reminding me about pumpkin spice latte. It’s always all the rave during the fall season – and for good reason. I gotta try your recipe out and give it a go… I’m sure I’ll like it!
Thank you, Lisa! I hope you enjoy our recipe and wish you a lovely Wednesday 🙂
My mom is always looking for flavored creamers. The traditional just doesn’t suit her anymore. She’ll enjoy receiving this homemade version from her favorite daughter!
Thank you, Tami! I hope she enjoys the creamer. Have a lovely Wednesday 🙂
I gotta admit… I have never tried pumpkin spice. I know, it’s so weird!! And now that I’m reading through your post, I wanna kick myself for not digging into one yet. Thanks to you though, I can try making this on my own now. Thank you!
Thank you, Aileen! It’s not weird, the world is a big place with lots to do and try. We can’t try everything, lol! I hope you give it a try sometime. Have a lovely Wednesday 🙂
This looks fantastic! I love anything pumpkin spice, I have always been a fan of that flavor and the season that comes with it. My family usually heads to the pumpkin farm this time of year so we will have to pick up some pumpkins and everything we need to make this recipe because it looks so yummy. I would love to have a cup of this right about now!
Thank you, Melissa! Us too we are huge fans of Fall. Kim for all the drinks, me for all the edibles. I have never been to a pumpkin patch, it’s never been high on my priority list. However, I will have to give it try sometime since so many people seem to make it an annual tradition. Thanks again for commenting and I hope you have a lovely day 🙂
I admit that I haven’t tried it much when I have seen it at other places like Starbucks. To be honest, I am surprised that I have not tried it out in the past because I do love pumpkin. This recipe here does sound so amazing and the pictures just make me want to go out and get one right this second.
Thank you, David! Give it a try sometime, at least to found whether or not you like the drink. Thanks again for commenting and have a great day 🙂
