Pumpkin Pie Syrup Recipe for Drinks & Desserts

There’s something about the flavor of pumpkin pie that instantly feels like autumn. Warm, spiced, and comforting – it’s the taste of cozy blankets, golden leaves, and magic in a mug. Today I’m sharing a recipe I created for Pumpkin Pie Syrup, perfect for coffee, tea, or even drizzling over desserts.

This syrup tastes just like pumpkin pie in liquid form, and it’s a simple way to add a little seasonal enchantment to your everyday life.

Pumpkin Pie Syrup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
  
• 2 ½ cups water
  
• ⅔ cup pumpkin purée
  
• 4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  

Instructions:

1. In a medium pot, combine all of the ingredients: sugar, water, pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
   
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
   
3. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 10–12 minutes. This allows the syrup to thicken and the flavors to blend beautifully.
   
4. Remove from heat and carefully pour into glass jars or dishes.
   
5. Let the syrup cool completely before sealing with lids and refrigerating.
   

Optional: If you have a strainer or cheesecloth handy, you can strain the syrup before storing it to make it extra smooth. I didn’t have one available this time, and honestly – I still love the cozy texture it has.

Storage

Keep your syrup in the refrigerator. It should last about 1–2 weeks (if it doesn’t disappear sooner!).

Magical Ways to Use Pumpkin Pie Syrup

This syrup is autumn magic in a jar, and the possibilities are endless:

• Stir into coffee or tea for an instant pumpkin spice latte.

• Swirl into oatmeal or yogurt.
  
• Use as a drizzle over ice cream or cake for an autumnal dessert.
  

Wherever you add it, this syrup transforms the ordinary into a sweet seasonal treat.
