Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk *see note below
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract *pure is best, imitation will also work.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon *see note below
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Recipe notes: 

Sweetened condensed milk: Sub sweetened condensed oat milk or sweetened condensed coconut milk for a dairy free/vegan option. You can also make your own dairy free condensed milk.
Cinnamon/spices: If you don't have individual jars of ground cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves - sub pumpkin pie spice! You can also use cinnamon only in this sauce.
Spice alternative: Some people are sensitive to the grittiness that spices can create in sauce. If this is you, try pumpkin spice extract instead! It's really strong so you'll only need ½ teaspoon.

Instructions

  • Measure sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt into a small mixing bowl.
    1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Use a whisk to mix ingredients until well combined.
  • Transfer sauce to an airtight container or lidded glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for 5-7 days and use as a topping/flavoring for all kinds of treats! My favorite way to use this sauce? Coffee! It's great mixed into cold brew, regular hot coffee or espresso drinks like this homemade iced pumpkin spice latte. It's also delicious drizzled on pumpkin pancakes or ice cream.
