Pumpkin spice latte, who? Make your own delicious pumpkin-flavored coffee with the help of this homemade vegan pumpkin pie creamer!
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Creamer
Now you can make your own delicious pumpkin coffee right at home in your pajamas! Homemade pumpkin coffee is tastier, more environmentally friendly, and cheaper!
Tips for the best vegan pumpkin creamer:
1. Make your own almond milk! It's much more flavorful this way, and also results in a thicker, creamier creamer!
2. Blend the pureed pumpkin with your almonds. If you don't, you'll be sipping little chunks of pumpkin. We don't want that!
3. Use sweetened condensed coconut milk - did you know this was a thing?! It's amazing in baking, and also helps to make vegan creamer rich and creamy. I purchased mine here.
4. When you're simmering the creamer, keep the heat low and watch very closely. It can foam up and bubble over super quickly if you heat it up too fast.
5. The sweetened condensed coconut milk will add a little sweetness, but if you like a sweeter creamer - add some maple syrup! I love sweet coffee so I add ½ a cup.
6. If you don't drink coffee that often, or you're the only one enjoying this recipe, I recommend halving this recipe. The fridge life is 5 days and this recipe makes a big batch.
