Pumpkin Spice Creamer

Fall is in the air and one of my most favorite things is pumpkin spice lattes.  Yes, I drink coffee!  One cup a day and I like to spice mine up a bit.  The problem is for the past 2 weeks, no pumpkin spice creamer in the stores.  Therefore, I decided to search for my own recipe and modify it (if need be) to make it healthier-I will be drinking many for the next few months.

I believe I have found a winner.  Check the recipe below.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fat free half & half (skim milk works better because the pumpkin will thicken it up significantly)
• ½ cup pumpkin
• Truvia (1-2 tbsp)
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. Heat half & half, pumpkin and sugar (or Truvia) over medium heat until bubbling and sugar is dissolved.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Wisk vanilla and spices into warm mixtures until well blended.
4. Cool.
5. Serve.

Notes

You can use full fat creamer or even milk with this recipe. It will affect the consistency.  I think skim milk is probably the ideal for the right consistency with traditional creamer. If you want your creamer sweeter, you can add more sugar to the recipe, or just add it in later so the whole family can enjoy and sweeten it to their preferences. Calorie info is based upon fat free half and half and Truvia.
