Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow Coffee Syrup

Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the marshmallow spread, canned pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, water, heavy whipping cream, and pumpkin pie spice over low heat. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides as you mix. The mixture should start to blend into a smooth consistency after about 2 minutes, with the sugar beginning to dissolve.

Step 2: Heat and Stir
Continue to stir the mixture constantly for about 5 minutes, keeping the heat on medium-low to avoid boiling. As it warms, keep an eye out for a uniform, creamy texture that should appear, ensuring no lumps remain from the pumpkin puree. The sweetness of the marshmallow and the spices will begin to fill your kitchen with comforting fall aromas.

Step 3: Incorporate Flavors
Once the mixture is smooth and the sugar has fully dissolved, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of fine sea salt, ensuring that both are evenly distributed throughout the syrup. The addition of these ingredients enhances the flavors of your Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow Coffee Syrup, bringing out the warmth of autumn.

Step 4: Cool and Store
Allow the syrup to cool completely in the saucepan for about 10–15 minutes. Once cooled, transfer the syrup into a clean jar or airtight bottle using a funnel. The syrup should have a thick, glossy appearance. Make sure to seal it tightly so you can enjoy its delightful flavors for up to two weeks when stored in the refrigerator.

Expert Tips for Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow Coffee Syrup

Stir Before Serving: The syrup may separate as it sits. Give it a good stir before each use to reintegrate the ingredients.

Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow Coffee Syrup Recipe FAQs

What kind of canned pumpkin should I use?
Always choose 100% canned pumpkin puree without any added sugars or spices. Avoid pumpkin pie filling, as it contains extra ingredients that could alter the flavor of your syrup. Look for cans labeled simply as “pumpkin puree.”

How long can I store the syrup, and how should I keep it?
You can store your Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow Coffee Syrup in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Make sure it is sealed tightly to maintain freshness. Always give it a good stir before using, as the ingredients might separate over time.

Can I freeze the syrup, and if so, how?
Absolutely! To freeze your syrup, pour it into freezer-safe containers or ice cube trays, leaving some extra space for expansion. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you need some, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or warm it gently on the stovetop. If it thickens upon thawing, whisk in a little water or cream until you reach your desired consistency.

I find my syrup too thick after making it; what can I do?
If your Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow Coffee Syrup turns out too thick, don’t worry! Just add an extra tablespoon of warm water or cream and whisk until the desired syrupy consistency is achieved. This step should help achieve that perfect pourability.

Can I modify the ingredients for dietary needs?
Yes, feel free to substitute ingredients based on your needs! For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream or a dairy-free creamer instead of heavy whipping cream. If you’re watching your sugar intake, you could try using a sugar substitute or reducing the amount of brown sugar. Just remember, the taste and texture might slightly differ, but the spirit of the syrup will remain intact!

Is this syrup safe for pets or those with allergies?
When it comes to pets, it’s best to keep this syrup away from them due to the sugar content and the presence of certain ingredients that aren’t ideal for animals. If you have food allergies, always double-check the ingredient labels, especially for marshmallow or cream products, as they can contain allergens like dairy or nuts. Always prioritize safety when cooking for others!
