If you're a pumpkin spice person, you've probably already had at least one Pumpkin Spice Latte, and if you're really into PSL, perhaps your cupboard is overflowing with pumpkin spice chips, salsa, cookies and granola bars.

Fall has become synonymous with pumpkin spice everything, and

I do love the taste of pumpkin spice right about now.

My sister mentioned that one of her friends

is really into making her own pumpkin spice

latte creamer, which sounded yummy

enough to try myself.

 

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Creamer

16 ounces heavy whipping cream, divided

1/4 cup maple syrup

3 tablespoons pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

 

Whisk 1/2 cup of cream, syrup, pumpkin puree

and pumpkin pie spice in a microwave-safe bowl.

Heat the mixture for about 30 seconds in the

microwave and then whisk. Heat again for another

30 seconds and whisk. Add the vanilla extract,

sweetened condensed milk and remaining whipping cream.

Whisk until well combined. (You can also do this by shaking the

mixture in a large container with a lid.) Strain with a fine colander

at least once and then store in the refrigerator until you're ready

to use it.
