Ingredients
- 1-2 shots espresso cooled
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp vanilla syrup
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice plus more for garnish

Instructions
- Brew one or two shots of espresso and let them cool.
- Add the cooled espresso, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and ice to a high-speed blender.

Notes
- Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Chilled espresso produces the thickest Frappuccino.
- Oat milk makes an excellent dairy-free substitute.

- For a stronger coffee flavor, use two shots of espresso.
- Add caramel sauce to the blender for a caramel pumpkin version.
- Enjoy immediately for the best frozen texture.
