How to Make Pumpkin Marshmallow Coffee Syrup
Combine the marshmallow creme, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, water, heavy cream, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium saucepan. Place the pan over low heat and stir continuously as the ingredients warm together.
Continue stirring until the brown sugar completely dissolves and the mixture develops a silky, lump free consistency. This process usually takes about five minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of fine sea salt.
Leave the syrup to cool to room temperature before pouring it into a clean glass jar or bottle. Seal the container and refrigerate until needed.
When ready to serve, mix the syrup into hot coffee, cold brew, espresso drinks, or hot chocolate. It also works beautifully as a topping for waffles, pancakes, cheesecake, ice cream, and many other desserts.
Helpful Tips
Choose pure pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling to keep the flavor balanced and prevent unnecessary sweetness.
Heat the ingredients gently over low heat while stirring often to achieve the smoothest consistency.
Allow the syrup to cool before transferring it into storage containers to reduce condensation.
Shake or stir the syrup before each use because natural ingredients may settle while refrigerated.
For a lighter consistency, whisk in a small amount of warm water before storing or serving.
