Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
- 1½ tablespoons maple syrup or date paste
- 1½ cups your favorite milk (oat milk recommended)
- 1-2 shots espresso (or ¼ cup strong coffee for caffeine-free)
- Ice (as needed)
Optional Decoration
- Store-bought cream or homemade coconut whipped cream
- Cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice mix, maple syrup or date paste, milk, and espresso (or coffee) to a blender. Blitz for 10-15 seconds until fully combined to create a smooth and creamy latte base.
- Prepare Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice to chill your latte properly and keep it refreshingly cold.
- Pour and Serve: Pour the blended pumpkin spice latte over the ice in the glass, ensuring even distribution of the flavors.
- Optional Garnish: Top the latte with whipped cream (store-bought or homemade coconut whipped cream), add a cinnamon stick, and finish with an extra dash of pumpkin spice for a decorative and flavorful touch.
Notes
- Pumpkin spice: If unavailable, create your own blend by mixing 1 tablespoon cinnamon with 1 teaspoon each of ground ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Sugar-free option: Substitute maple syrup with stevia drops or xylitol to avoid added sugars.
- No blender? Whisk all ingredients in a jug or bowl until combined to make the latte.
- Storage tip: Freeze leftover pumpkin puree in ice cube molds and store for later use.
