Indulge in the luscious flavors of fall with this creamy and dreamy Vegan Pumpkin Cream!

Perfect as a topping for desserts, a swirl in your morning coffee, or even as a delectable fruit dip, this versatile recipe is ready in just 15 minutes and chills to perfection in the fridge. With minimal prep and maximum flavor, this smooth and velvety pumpkin cream will quickly become your go-to autumn treat!
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree and coconut milk. Whisk together over medium heat until smooth and heated through, about 5 minutes.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. This should take about 5 more minutes.
Once the mixture is thickened and well-combined, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend on high speed for about 1 minute until the cream is very smooth and has a creamy texture.
Allow the vegan pumpkin cream to cool completely. Transfer it to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
Serve chilled over desserts, coffee, or as a dip for fruit.
