Spooky Pumpkin Spice Latte
A warm and cozy seasonal treat that brings the flavors of fall right into your favorite mug.
There is nothing quite like a steaming pumpkin spice latte when the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall. It is the perfect way to bring a little bit of magic to your morning routine during the Halloween season.
My favorite trick for this recipe is to make sure you use real pumpkin puree rather than just the syrup. It adds a much richer texture and a deeper flavor that makes a big difference in every single sip.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
- 1 cup milk of your choice
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- 1
Whisk the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- 2
Stir the mixture constantly for about two minutes until it becomes fragrant and slightly thickened.
- 3
Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, whisking well until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- 4
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in your brewed coffee.
- 5
Pour the latte into a large mug and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of spice if you like.
π‘ Tips
You can store any leftover pumpkin puree in the fridge for a few days to make another latte later. If you want a dairy free version, oat milk works beautifully because it is thick and creamy.
