Isn't that what they say? Well in our house, no matter who it is, we like HAPPY!!
One of the little things that makes this mama happy is PUMPKIN!! Pumpkin everything ... pumpkin cookies, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin granola bars, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin creamer, pumpkin yogurt, pumpkin ice cream ... pumpkin smells and pumpkin lotion. If it smells, tastes or looks like a pumpkin I am in love with it!!
Today it has been a bit overcast and, lets be honest, we have been patiently (ok not so patiently) waiting for fall to arrive ... to put up our Halloween decorations, to get out our sweaters and to eat, drink and smell PUMPKIN!
This is just our kind of day ... and our kind of gloomy, fall ish day needed something warm and pumpkin! A cake you say? Nope! Cookies? Not even close!
Hot chocolate and homemade pumpkin pie creamer!!!!!
**Use your left over dry coffee creamer and left over canned pumpkin to make this a recycled pumpkin pie creamer**
**This recipe is not the healthiest but a heck of a mess cheaper than the pumpkin creamer in stores and just as tasty**
Pumpkin Pie Creamer:
You'll Need:
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups (left over) dry non-dairy coffee creamer
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
8 tbsp (left over) purred pumpkin
1. Add water to pan and bring to a boil
2. Reduce to medium-low, whisk in sugar, stirring until dissolved
3. Add non-dairy creamer and whisk until dissolved
4. Add pumpkin pie spice, stirring
5. Add pumpkin purre, stirring
6. Let mixture sit over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes
7. Remove from heat and pour into blender or food processor
8. Purre through your blender for about 1 minute
When your mixture has cooled pour into storage containers ... we used recycled mason jars (filled almost 2 mason jars) but you can also use recycled creamer bottles.
Refrigerate and use as you would any store bought creamer.
