Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1-2 tbsp brown sugar adjust to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
- whipped cream for topping
- Extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions
- Brew the espresso or strong coffee and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Heat over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until smooth and steaming. Do not boil.
- Froth the milk with a handheld frother if desired.
- Pour the espresso into a mug.
- Slowly pour the pumpkin milk mixture over the espresso.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Oat milk creates one of the creamiest dairy-free versions.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar.
- Maple syrup can be substituted for brown sugar.
- Store the pumpkin milk mixture in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
