Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Cashew Creamer

There are two kinds of pumpkin spice people. Those that love pumpkin puree in everything and those who just like the spice profile. Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Cashew Creamer is for those of you who are not pumpkin-in-your-coffee people. This vegan creamer only has the spices!

Are Pumpkin Spice Syrups Vegan?

By now you all know the dirty little secret that most pumpkin spice lattes and syrups have dairy in them. But did you know most of them don’t even have any pumpkin in them at all?

The pumpkin spice refers to a blend of spices you use in pumpkin pie. My other pumpkin latte includes real pumpkin, so I thought I needed to make one with no pumpkin too.

This recipe is especially for those of you who are not pumpkin-in-your-coffee kind of people. Now everyone can revel in pumpkin spice season!

Is It Hard to Make Homemade Creamers?

Making your own creamer is a very fulfilling thing to do. It’s not very hard and you can tailor every flavor to your personal dietary requirements and tastes.

Can I Use Any Sweetener?

Use the sweetener you prefer – right now I’m on a coconut sugar kick. It tastes similar to brown sugar, but is looser like regular granulated sugar. You could also use stevia, agave nectar and of course plain old sugar if that’s what you prefer or have on hand.

Do Vegan Creamers All Use Cashews?

Cashews are a nice neutral nut to use as your creamer base but you could use almonds, pecans or anything else you can make your own non-dairy milk from like oats and rice.

Please note: when you add a dollop of creamer to your coffee it will look separated, but don’t worry once you give it a good stir it will incorporate.

Pumpkin Spice Cashew Creamer with Coconut Sugar

soy-free, gluten-free and no added oil
Servings: 2 cups
Author: Kathy Hester

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 1/2 cups water for cooking
  • another 1 1/2 to 2 cups water for blending
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or your sweetener of choice, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon cinnamon to taste
  • 2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • pinch salt optional

Instructions

  • In a small 1½ to 2 quart slow cooker add cashews and cooking water.
  • Cook 8 to 9 hours on low or 3 to 4 hours on high.
  • Alternatively you can cook them on the stove in a small saucepan for about 20 minutes over medium heat.
  • Once you drain the water (I find that the water gets a little murky, so I like to drain the cashews and add fresh water to blend into the creamer) add the cashews, 1½ cup water for blending, sugar and spices.
  • Blend until creamy smooth.
  • Add more water if you'd like a thinner creamer - 1½ cup of water makes it thick and it will thicken up more once you put it in the fridge (or you could use 1 cup of water first, pull out some of the thick creamer for a pie or ice cream topping - then add the rest for your coffee creamer!)
  • Store in the fridge for up to 7 days.

      Coconut sugar is the best! It reminds me of brown sugar.

    This sounds so good…I love that flavor combination. I like the idea of using it in a thicker version. Maybe use it as a filling in cinnamon doughnuts…? 😉
    Thanks for the recipe…cheers!

    i made this yesterday and am enjoying it right now.
    I actually did it wrong (i think) i cooked all the ingredients together and then she i said to drain the cashews i knew i should not lose the yummy juice it was cooking in and made my house smell wonderful.
    I added the 11/2 cups of water and then i tasted it- good, but i also added the cooking liquid back – DELICIOUS!!!!
    what a wonderful yummy treat. THe coffee is smooth and creamer- you would never know it was nuts (though i use almost milk in my coffee now so maybe my taste buds are accustomed to no dairy).
    thank you again.
    i have now purchased one of your cookbooks and am on my way to get the other one.
    i am a converted slow cooker!

    Can I make this with less or no sugar? Will it still be good for 7 days with less or no sugar?
