Ingredients
Liquid Base
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
Flavor and Creaminess
- 1/4 cup raw cashew butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Spices
- 4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ Tbsp fresh ginger, finely chopped (from a 1 ½-inch piece)
- 1/8 heaping tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients—water, coconut milk, cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, fresh ginger, nutmeg, and sea salt—into a high-speed blender. This ensures that the seasonings and creamy components mix thoroughly for a smooth and flavorful creamer.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1 minute until it reaches a creamy and smooth consistency. This breaks down the cashew butter and ginger finely, allowing for a uniform texture.
- Strain (Optional): For a smoother liquid free from any fibrous bits of fresh ginger, strain the creamer through a fine mesh sieve. This step is optional but recommended for the best drinking experience.
- Store Properly: Transfer the creamer into an airtight container or bottle. Shake well before each use to redistribute spices that may settle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days, or freeze in an ice cube tray for convenient use in iced coffee.
- Serve: Enjoy about 3 ½ tablespoons of this pumpkin spice creamer in an 8-ounce cup of hot or iced coffee, or add it to steeped black tea for a flavorful twist.
Notes
- Shake well before each use as spices and ingredients may settle.
- Optional straining improves texture but is not necessary if you don't mind small bits of ginger.
- Freezing creamer in ice cube trays is a convenient way to make iced pumpkin spice coffee quickly.
- Use raw cashew butter for the best creamy consistency; roasted nut butters may alter flavor.
- This creamer is naturally sweetened with maple syrup; adjust sweetness by modifying the amount.
