Ingredients
1/2 cup pure canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1 pinch salt
Instructions
Combine the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, vanilla bean paste, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a small stainless steel saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat while stirring constantly until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the sweetened condensed milk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Simmer for about 5 minutes, continuing to stir to prevent burning.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to a glass jar.
Store in the refrigerator and use within 2-3 weeks.
Notes
Store in an airtight container or glass jar in the refrigerator.
If the sauce thickens too much over time, you can stir in a teaspoon of hot water or milk before adding it to your coffee.
For an even smoother texture, you can strain the finished sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
